    “For the Love of Dog” author Pilley Bianchi sits down with Jordan to chat about her work, life with her father, Dr. John Pilley, and his research of canine cognition, which led to his discoveries with Chaser the Border Collie, who had the largest tested memory of any non-human animal.

The two discuss writing, creative exploration, and how to navigate the ebbs and flows of creative projects, careers, and life.
