What Is a Dog?

Of the world’s dogs, fewer than two hundred million are pets, living with humans who provide food, shelter, squeaky toys and fashionable sweaters.

But roaming the planet are five times as many dogs who are their own masters — neighborhood dogs, dump dogs, mountain dogs. They are dogs, not companions, and these dogs, like pigeons or squirrels, are highly adapted scavengers who have evolved to fit particular niches in the vicinity of humans. Join dog behavior expert Raymond Coppinger as he presents an eye-opening analysis of the evolution and adaptations of these unleashed dogs and what they can reveal about the species as a whole.
