The Dog Days of Summer Part 2: Why We Love Our Dogs

Tonight on the Front Porch, our Dog Days of Summer series continues with a look at the special bond between humans and their dogs. We'll find out why canines have become "man's best friend", and what the dogs in our lives say about ourselves. We'll also examine relationships between people and their pooches and see if the most well-intentioned dog owners are always doing right by their pets.

Our guests are:

Kevin Behan, dog trainer and author of the book Natural Dog Training: The Canine Arts Kennel Program - Teach Your Dog by Using His Natural Instincts.

Monica Mansfield, veterinarian and author of The Black Panties: Tales of Animal Mischief And Veterinary Intrigue.
