| Can you decode meaning from listening to your dog's barks and whines? In this hour of Science Friday we're going to the dogs, from how they communicate with us, to how they've evolved along with our technology. We'll also talk about dog genetics and evolution -- how can a single species contain breeds as different as Great Danes and Chihuahuas? |
