In this episode, Dr. Chris Tufnell and Gabrielle Hase debate whether it's ever ok to laugh at your pet, despite the mini YouTube industry that does just that. We take a brief detour into the weighty subject of how pets are used to express their owners' own personalities, and why antlers on dogs are never, ever a good idea.  Just don't.

Dr. Chris Tufnell answers our listeners' questions about raising a doggie in a city. Are cages a necessary evil, or a safe haven? Are small apartments a better environment for a dog than a shelter?
