The event was held in New York City and featured 16 speakers, including academics, pet behavior experts, performance artists and scientists. My favorite by far was Dr. Arleigh Reynolds who spoke about this dogs in Alaska. He spoke about training, breeding, exercising and diet for his champion racing dogs. It was so touching to see how this vet’s research project turn into a heartwarming and incredible story for his whole family and Alaska.
