Dingos have been called pests. Predators. Even villains.

But what if we’ve been telling the wrong story?

In this episode, Kylie Cairns takes us deep into the Australian outback to uncover the truth about one of the world’s most misunderstood canines. Are dingos wild dogs? A separate species? A missing evolutionary link? And what role do they really play in balancing fragile ecosystems?

We explore the science behind their intelligence, the controversy surrounding their protection, and the powerful bond that can exist between humans and truly wild animals. From ancient DNA to modern conservation battles, this conversation challenges what we think we know about “man’s best friend.”

Dingos aren’t just survivors of the harsh Australian landscape — they’re architects of it.

Wild. Wise. And far more complex than most of us realize.
