“Two canine scientists, Julie Hecht and Mia Cobb, met briefly at a conference in Barcelona in late July 2012. They share a passion for canine science, good communication, social media and fun.”
So reads the 'About' page at Do You Believe in Dog?. After a brief hello at the 3rd Canine Science Forum in Barcelona, we decided to embark on an adventure as digital pen pals, taking turns blogging on topics related to our own research, that of other research groups and general dog science themes.
In the last two years, Do You Believe in Dog? has grown to include a blog with over 100 posts, contributions from guest blogging canine scientists around the world, as well as vibrant Facebook and Twitter communities.

This is a reminder that this Friday, March 14, 2014, is the deadline for abstract submission and early bird conference registration.
The scientific programme includes a number of already scheduled talks. Read about the invited speakers here:
Prof. Benjamin Hart (USA) From the Woods to Home: What Wolves Tell Us About Dog Behavior
Dr. Mariana Bentosela (Argentina) ‘Reinforcement effects upon interspecific communication in domestic dogs. What do we know so far?’
