Oh, hey, it's that festival bracelet you're still wearing on Monday.

Allie Ward, let's talk dogs.

So in the past, we've done episodes on dogs and wolves, but this one explains why a wolf

is your dog.

It's anthropology, it's sinology, it's lupinology, it's ethnocinology, it's ethnocinology, which

is a term coined in 2002 by an anthropologist named Brian Cummings in this book he wrote titled

First Nations First Dogs, Canadian Aboriginal Ethnocinology.

And ethocinology is the study of dogs within their cultural context.

I love it.

So for years, y'all have asked me to interview this particular guest.

I have been tagged in so many things. And also recommended by our experimental archaeology guest, Angelo Robledo. So this

guest handles everywhere our ethno-synology. I was game. So they did their undergrad in

anthropology at University of Tennessee at Knoxville and got a

master's in anthropology at the University of Wyoming. They are an educator with huge platforms on

TikTok and YouTube and they are also a professional archaeologist. And we talk about how wolves went

from the woods to your bed. And we'll get to that. But first, thank you to Patreon folks at patreon.com slash ologies for supporting the show for as little as a dollar a month and submitting your questions for the ologists before we record.

We also, by the way, have a show called Smologies.

Those are kids safe and classroom-friendly episodes.

You can find Smologies wherever you get podcast. Just search for it, S-M-O-L-O-G-I-E-S. Also, thanks to everyone leaving reviews, which helped the show so much. I read them all and then I read you one each week, such as this one from Momsturist One, who wrote, thank you for illuminating so many fascinating topics. Even those that seem mundane at first are revealed to be deeply connected to the web of life.

Monstrous One, the name.

I love it.

And thanks to everyone who left reviews.
