| 0:00.0 | We almost ran out of dogs. That's not exactly true, but it's close. The shelters were emptied out. |
| 0:07.6 | Over the last year, |
| 0:09.9 | millions of people who didn't have a dog decided that they needed a dog. |
| 0:15.6 | And this, this is a podcast about how we decide and where we got one. Hey, |
| 0:22.8 | it's Seth and this is a Kimbo. |
| 0:30.7 | We'll be back in a second to talk about Dalmatians and Pit Bulls and Collies and the No Kill movement, |

| 1:54.9 | And left to their own devices, dogs would eventually evolve back to one sort of uber dog. |
| 2:03.1 | And yet we have dog breeds. And yet when we say what kind of dog do you have, we don't expect |
