Promising you a journey through the fascinating world of science and pet ownership, we've got an episode jam-packed with intriguing insights. You're in for a ride as we unravel how music can soothe pain in newborns and why having a dog could be your shield against dementia. We lean on research from Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center and the University of Michigan's Health and Retirement Study to make sense of these remarkable connections between music, pets, and human health.

In this episode, we're thrilled to have Lendy Beatty from Playology join us for a chat. Lendy offers us a sneak peek into the world of scent-infused dog toys and the science behind their creation. Playology's toys are not just play things but cognitive stimulators for dogs. We discuss ongoing research at Texas Tech Animal Behavior Department that's exploring if different senses influence playtime duration. Prepare for some chuckles as we share funny pet stories and delve into the curiously engaging phenomenon of dogs sniffing separately with each nostril.

As a grand finale, we disclose our exciting plans for the upcoming Comic-Con event. From choosing costumes for our beloved dogs, Bunsen and Beaker, to ensuring their comfort and safety, we've got it all covered. We also share an anecdote about a veterinary visit for Beaker and our preparations for the event. So, pull up a chair, grab your lab coat and safety glasses, and prepare for an entertaining and enlightening journey through the Science Podcast. Let's learn, laugh, and love the world of science and pets together!
