On East Coast FM this week, Brayvet's Pete Wedderburn discusses recent research which suggests that dogs engage as much with robots that feed them as with humans.

Vet on the radio: do dogs like robots as much as they like humans? Oh, and triathlons again

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio,  television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work. 
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past fifteen years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
