Why do we claim to love our dogs while breeding them for dependence and keeping them in environments that strip away their daily choices?Bioethicist and author Dr. Jessica Pierce joins host PJ Wehry on Chasing Leviathan to discuss human-animal relationships and the profound interconnections between ecosystems and health.Dr. Pierce explores the ethics of our canine bonds in her book, Who's a Good Human? Practical Exercises for Living Mindfully with Dogs. They examine how an ethical relationship isn't about demanding strict obedience from a "pet," but rather requires the skills of curiosity, collaboration, and care.In this conversation they explore:Why the standard model of viewing dogs simply as pets is flawed, and how to embrace the collaborative, often messy project of living together. The concept of "experiential ethics"—or embodied ethics—and how mucking through complex life experiences teaches us more than abstract philosophical principles. How a scientific thought experiment about dogs surviving a human-erasing rapture revealed that dogs might actually be better off without us. The "phenomenological recalibration" Dr. Pierce experienced after becoming a volunteer firefighter in her mountain community, and how it radically shifted her perception of the natural world. The dark side of modern dog breeding, the cultural obsession with unhealthy breeds like pugs and French Bulldogs, and why humans are psychologically drawn to canine dependence. Why we should view modern companion dogs as "captive animals" and how introducing micro-choices into their daily routines can profoundly improve their welfare. How applying the Zen Buddhist concept of "beginner's mind" and practicing deep curiosity can transform our knee-jerk annoyances—like a dog barking—into moments of mindful communication.This is a conversation for anyone interested in bioethics, dog ethology, and mindfulness who wants to understand how to sincerely navigate our relationship with animals while honoring their fundamental needs and agency.Make sure to check out Dr. Pierce's book: Who's a Good Human?

1HEADLINE: Imagining the Psychology and Pack Behavior of Post-Human DogsGUESTS: Jessica Pierce and Mark BekoffSUMMARY: John Bachelor explores a thought experiment regarding dogs surviving in a world without human intervention. The guests posit that while dogs will adopt wolf-like social structures and organization, they will not physically revert to wolves, likely remaining smaller on average. Their psychology will shift; rather than viewing themselves as dominant apex predators, dogs will likely see themselves as fluid, integrated participants within their local ecosystems. Pack behavior will be determined primarily by dietary needs; hunting large prey requires organized packs, whereas scavenging or hunting small game like mice may lead to more solitary existence or smaller groups. Ultimately, dogs will tap into latent, adaptable traits currently suppressed by domestication to find their niche.1658
2 HEADLINE: Physical Evolution: Snouts, Size, and Camouflage in the Wild GUESTS: Jessica Pierce and Mark Bekoff SUMMARY: In a post-human world, dogs will undergo significant physical transformations driven by survival needs rather than human preference. Short-snouted breeds will likely disappear because they cannot breathe well during the intense exercise required to defend territories or hunt. Longer snouts will prevail, potentially aiding in both respiration and sight. Interestingly, smaller dogs might survive better than large breeds because they have lower caloric demands and can hide more easily from predators. Coat colors will shift from artificial patterns to natural camouflage suited to specific environments, often trending toward reddish or gray hues. Physical fitness, specifically speed and dexterity, will become essential as dogs return to being cursorial hunters. 21828
3 HEADLINE: Reproduction, Social Intelligence, and Lifespan in a Self-Sustaining World GUESTS: Jessica Pierce and Mark Bekoff SUMMARY: Reproduction will shift toward a communal approach where male dogs and "alloparents"—such as aunts, uncles, and older siblings—contribute to rearing puppies. To maximize the survival of their young in harsh environments, dogs may transition to a single annual reproductive cycle. While human-centric social skills like "begging eyes" may become neutral or disappear, dogs will utilize latent, superior abilities for conflict resolution and communication within their packs. As highly adaptable learners, they will quickly discern friend from foe in various ecological niches. Finally, lifespans are expected to stabilize around eight years, reflecting the physical rigors of wild life seen in wolves and coyotes. 31900
4 HEADLINE: The Ecological Role and Bioethics of the Independent Dog GUESTS: Jessica Pierce and Mark Bekoff SUMMARY: This segment defines the "universal dog" as a creature that adapts its style and behavior to its specific environmental niche, from deserts to high latitudes. The guests emphasize that dogs retain a "DNA memory" and latent potential for wild behaviors, such as the killing bite, which were largely suppressed by human selection. From a bioethical perspective, this thought experiment reveals that viewing dogs solely as pets is a limited way to understand their true nature. Instead, dogs should be recognized as independent individuals with lives and interests that exist apart from humans. This shift in perspective encourages owners to see their dogs as wild animals with autonomous needs for richness and meaning. 41861
Jessica Pierce and Mark Bekoff discuss a thought experiment regarding dogs in a post-human world, suggesting dogs will not physically revert to wolves but will adopt wolf-like social structures and pack behaviors depending on available prey, viewing themselves as fluid ecosystem participants.1828 ENGLISH SPRINGERS
Jessica Pierce and Mark Bekoff focus on physical evolution, predicting short-snouted dogs will disappear while longer snouts prevail for better breathing, smaller dogs may survive better due to lower caloric demands, and coat colors will adapt toward reddish camouflage hues.1658 FOUR SPRINGERS HUNTING
Jessica Pierce and Mark Bekoff explain that without humans, dogs will likely adopt communal parenting strategies and reduced reproductive cycles to maximize survival, noting dogs already possess latent social skills for conflict resolution with lifespans stabilizing around eight years like wild wolves.1861 DUNDRUM HOUSE.

Jessica Pierce and Mark Bekoff discuss whether dogs will see themselves as apex predators or ecosystem participants, noting pack behavior may mirror wolves if hunting large prey while dogs retain their distinct genetic history, concluding that this experiment teaches humans to view dogs as individuals.1900 ENGLISH SPRINGERS, HUNTING
A dog on its owner's grave. A killer whale carrying around its dead calf. A goose that isolates when its mate dies. These behaviors in animals may look like human mourning, but should scientists call them "grief"?

Would dogs be able to survive on their own without us? A Dog's World imagines a posthuman future for dogs, revealing how dogs would survive―and possibly even thrive―and explaining how this new and revolutionary perspective can guide how we interact with dogs now. Drawing on biology, ecology, and the latest findings on the lives and behavior of dogs and their wild relatives, Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff―two of today's most innovative thinkers about dogs―explore who dogs might become without direct human intervention into breeding, arranged playdates at the dog park, regular feedings, and veterinary care. Pierce and Bekoff show how dogs are quick learners who are highly adaptable and opportunistic, and they offer compelling evidence that dogs already do survive on their own―and could do so in a world without us.
