Professor of Religion Laura Hobgood is a true champion for dogs. Not only is she a leading canine scholar, but she also tirelessly works directly with dogs in need. 

Professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and co-founder with Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Marc Bekoff recently sat down with Hobgood to discuss here book A Dog’s History of the World: Canines and the Domestication of Humans. 

“I reread [the book] and wanted to know more about her remarkable wide-ranging and historical work,” said Bekoff. “Each time I went through it the pages were increasingly marked up with notes, so I asked Dr. Hobgood if she could answer a few questions.”
