Join us for a new episode of NOVA February 12 at 9pm, part of Think Wednesday.

In this new episode we focus on dogs. Dogs have been our companions for thousands of years. But why?

Do they really love us, or are they just in it for the food? Scientists test wolf intelligence, decode canine DNA, and peer into dogs’ brains to find out what domestication really means.

Watch Dog Tales on NOVA February 12 at 9pm on WITF and via the PBS Video app.
