The symbiotic relationship between dogs & humans has evolved over time, and is shown through mythology, history, and culture. We'll examine the science and evolution of dogs, occupations of dogs, the economics of dog/pet ownership in the USA, and partake in debates on adopt don’t shop/breeds vs. mutts, kill versus no-kill shelters, and stereotypes of dog breeds. We'll talk about the mutual benefits of owning a pet. Students will give group presentations, perform outreach at local shelters and rescues, and have a team trivia final exam.
