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.

Dog-cognition expert and bestselling author Alexandra Horowitz (Inside of a Dog) takes us on a walk into the scruffy, curious, joyful world of dogs. What does it mean to "own" a dog? Can dogs demonstrate genuine heroism? And what is it like to experience reality primarily through smell? Off Leash is a delightful and surprising look at the deeply familiar, profoundly mysterious animals who walk alongside us.
