Happy Howlloween!

It's that scary time of year so Anna chats to cinema journalist and founder of the FIDOs and Palm Dog, Toby Rose, about how scary dogs have been portrayed in film such as Cujo, the Hounds of Baskerville and Werewolves and how it's contributed to the enduring myth of the 'Black Dog.'

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.
