Wildlife broadcaster and conservationist Chris Packham joins Oh My Dog - and ends up answering some of the biggest dog questions we’ve ever had on the podcast.

Chris introduces us to his two poodles Sid and Nancy, explains why he feeds them a vegan diet, and reveals what science actually says about whether dogs love their owners.

Along the way he also settles some classic dog mysteries - including why dogs spin before they poo, why they eat other dogs’ poo, why dogs lick our faces, and how closely they’re connected to wolves.

Plus:Jack explains the history of pavements, Seann tries to solve Mildred’s early-morning barking problem, and we learn that dogs might love their owners even more than sausages.

It’s one of our most fascinating episodes yet!
