Alexandra Horowitz is a professor at Barnard College, Columbia University, where she teaches seminars in canine cognition, creative nonfiction writing, and audio storytelling. As Senior Research Fellow, she heads the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard.

Alexandra has long been interested in how the world is experienced by dogs and her research and writing is aimed to answer the question of what it's like to be a dog. And her book, Inside of a Dog, was a New York Times bestseller for 65 weeks. 

In this podcast, Alexandra chats about her love of dogs, her work and her passion for understanding the world from a dogs point of view. She shares stories and insights about how our perception and expectations of dogs have changed over the years and in understanding these things, how it might help us become better owners. And we talk about the simple joy of what it's like to share our lives with dogs.
