Although New Zealanders prefer cats to dogs, unlike other similar countries, we still love dogs as well - we have 700,00 of them, and 28% of New Zealanders are dog owners. We don't know the stats for homes that contain both cats and dogs, but they would be quite high as well.

Dr Zazie Todd is a cat person and a dog person. She trained in human psychology, until a dog named Ghost changed her focus. Dr Todd is an animal behaviour expert and the author of Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy. She tells Jim what's going on in the life and times of your dog.
