A Dog's Life Archive: Stray

In light of the recent news in Turkey that the government has passed a bill ordering the destruction of all street dogs and cats there, we start our Summer Archive season with our conversation with Elizabeth Lo, the director of a stunning documentary Stray which follows the every day life of stray dogs led by Zeytin, an Anatolian Shepherd dog, in Istanbul, a city at that point, that not only tolerates but cares for them.

Find out where you can watch Stray wherever you are.

The Wild At Heart Foundation is helping to organise a petition and protest against the new laws here.

What is A Dog's Life with Anna Webb?

Dogs.

They’re companions, guardians, and much much more – they complete us. And they just might save us from ourselves.

Anna Webb explores all levels of modern dog ownership and brings to life why every dog is extraordinary.

She speaks to scientists and experts - people who have and are changing our understanding of dogs - on everything from emotional intelligence to nutrition to behaviour, delving deep into subjects like homeopathy, telepathic communication and the pet food scandal.

It's thought provoking, alternative, and not a little subversive.
