Neil, Sadie and the Wolves

A mysterious dachshund called Sadie and an internet meme about pugs and wolves all lead journalist Neil Sandell to explore the evolution of dogs. 

Neil shares some of the theories, creatures, and scientists in his new CBC radio documentary, “Entre Chien et Loup: How Dogs Began”; and we find out what Sadie has in common with her wolf ancestors.
