    6. Genes

    “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?

    5. Strays

    The dogs we know best live as pets: indoors, wearing bespoke collars, and sleeping on our sofas. But the majority of the world’s dogs are stray, or “free-ranging” dogs. What are their lives like? Alexandra Horowitz talks to filmmaker Elizabeth Lo about her documentary Stray, which follows street dogs in Istanbul, and a behavioral scientist who studies a community of stray dogs in a Moroccan beach town.

    3. Property

    To the law, everything is either a "person," with rights, or a "thing,” without. Where does that leave dogs?

    2. Names

    What do dogs know about their own names? And is there any science about what to name them?

    1. Smell

    Dogs are, above all, creatures of the nose. What can they sniff out, and what can we learn about smelling by following them?
