Episode description

In this episode I'll ask the age old question - who's a good dog?   Dogs were man's best friend in Americas for 1000's of years, from Alaska to the tip of Chile.  They were pets, cargo haulers, hunting companions, guides to the afterlife, and at times, food.  Join me as I discuss what I know about dogs in the ancient Americas.
