Episode description
“What breed is she?” Every owner of a mixed-breed dog is eventually asked this when out on a walk. But how much do dogs' breeds — and genes — really tell us about who they are? Alexandra Horowitz asks Soledad O'Brien about her dog Coco's ancestry (and her own), then talks to a pioneer in the field of canine DNA.
