Should you adopt a puppy for the holidays?
Listen 00:49:15Guests: James Serpell and Brittany Watson
Many kids dream of getting a cute puppy for Christmas, and some lucky ones do. But often new animal owners are unprepared for the real work of caring for and training these animals. In this hour, we’ll talk about animal behavior, and how to deal with animals you may receive, or even encounter, over the holidays. Our guests will be JAMES SERPELL, Director of Penn Vet’s Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society, and BRITTANY WATSON, Penn Vet’s Director of Shelter Medicine and Community Engagement.
