Join us for a captivating conversation with independent researcher and Anthrozology expert, Marco Adda, as we explore the complex relationship between humans and dogs, and unveil the fascinating world of free-ranging dogs across different cultures and geographic regions.

Gain insights into the importance of understanding individual personalities and providing an environment that allows dogs to express themselves. We'll also delve into the complexities of dogs' interactions with humans in urban environments, and how a lack of understanding and proper communication can lead to unintended consequences.

Wrapping up, we'll touch on the often-misinterpreted concept of dominance in dogs and its role in their interactions with humans and their environment.
