Dog Spies pays a visit to ohmidog!

John Woestendiek's blog, ohmidog!, makes me laugh. It makes me think. It has awesome pictures of dogs. And Walter the Farting Dog appears on the recommended reading list.


Woestendiek's background is real-world investigative journalism. Not Zoolander faux investigatory journalism; his is the real deal. Back in 1987, Woestendiek won a Pulitzer Prize for proving that a man convicted of murder was innocent. Kind of a big deal. 


Post-Pulitzer, he wrote Dog Inc., detailing the somewhat wacky, yet incredibly human, story of how dogs entered the world of cloning (I'm on page 63, more comments to come). He now travels the country with his dog Ace, blogging about Ace and other dogs and animal issues that come his way. 
Woestendiek sees himself as an alternative to the mainstream news media which, "has never taken dogs and the dog-human relationship, seriously enough". If you read my last two blog entires, you can see why I like this man. 


Woestendiek recently dedicated more than a few words on his blog to covering Dog Spies and the dog "guilty look". Thank you for deeming scientific inquiry into the "guilty look" worthy of serious consideration!
