How much can a dog's breed really tell you? In this episode of Enrichment for the Real World, illustrator and author Lili Chin (she/her) returns to talk about her newest book, Dogs of the World: A Gallery of Pups from Purebreds to Mutts. You probably know Lili from her beloved body language infographics and viral artwork, and now she's helping us better understand the complex, fluid, and very human world of breed identity.Listen as Lili and Emily dive into why “solo dog” is a better term than “dog aggressive,” how breed traits reflect more about human ideals than actual dogs, and why terms like “pariah” and “primitive” might not mean what you think. Blending thoughtful art with a global perspective, this episode invites us to rethink breed labels and focus on what really matters: the individuality of every dog.TLDL (too long, didn't listen):1️⃣ Breed ≠ Personality – A dog's breed can't predict everything about them. Breed ideals reflect human expectations more than canine realities, and every dog is an individual shaped by context, not just genetics.2️⃣ Language Matters – Terms like “solo dog” instead of “aggressive,” and carefully choosing breed labels, can reduce harm and better reflect reality. Lili's work challenges us to use language that is inclusive, accurate, and respectful.3️⃣ A Broader View of Breeds – Lili breaks down the variety of dog types, like purebreds, landraces, and free-ranging dogs, and explains how understanding this spectrum can deepen our appreciation for dogs in all contexts.Links & Resources from the Episode

KT kicks things off with a jaw-dropping stat: over 6,000 dog attacks on U.S. postal workers were reported in 2024—a seven-year high. From there, the crew dives headfirst into a hilarious and heated discussion about aggressive dogs, misunderstood pit bulls, and the psychology of canine behavior. Skin shares a personal story about his sweet dog Simon losing his mind at the mailman, while Ben wonders if dogs are just trying to protect us—or plotting a daily turf war.But it's not just about dogs. Ben recounts a snorkeling trip in Turks and Caicos where he couldn't stop imagining a shark attack, despite being in calm waters. (“We're all about to die. We're a shark attack.”) The conversation spirals into everything from pit bull stereotypes to the unpredictability of wild animals—and even a philosophical moment about risk, responsibility, and the wisdom of Jackass stunts.

When Lieutenant Commander Ike boards the USS Wasp, the lead amphibious assault ship in the U.S. Navy, people notice. He's truly unlike any other sailor but immediately commands respect. And we wouldn't suggest directing any kind of slight at Ike, especially around the Wasp's crew, which when full is over 3000 people. It's true, LCDR Ike walks on four feet, chases a ball, and sometimes gets into mischief. He even pees on the deck, which is his unique right on board. But LCDR Ike provides his own significant service to the ship, which is obvious when he's with the crew and is now even backed by rigorous studies.Today On the Dogwatch we have the pleasure of talking with Brooke Corson, a former drill sergeant and combat specialist in the U.S. Army who founded Mutts With A Mission. A dog trainer since she was young, Brooke founded Mutts With A Mission to train and provide service dogs to support military veterans, police and first responders, and now also Expeditionary Facility Dogs on Navy ships.In our conversation, we learn about Brooke's unique background and training, the founding and “Mission” behind the organization, and learn what goes into training a true service dog. We of course also spend time on Brooke's work in developing the Expeditionary Facility Dog program, and get to know LCDR Ike and what his life and service are like.This is not one to miss, so let's get on board with Mutts with a Mission.

If you think comic books and their audience resist continuity changes, you must consider the death grip comic strips have on their characters. Charlie Brown was never allowed to kick the football and was also denied a wardrobe. His life sentence was that yellow shirt. Mutts cartoonist Patrick McDonnell accepts the pressures of his medium and believes there is nirvana in its structure. However, in the case of certain characters, he knew he had to free them of their decades-long consistency. Guard Dog needed off his tether, and Doozy needed Guard Dog in her home. As Mutts reached toward its 30th anniversary, Patrick McDonnell plotted Guard Dog's freedom. Over seven weeks, the story played out in the papers and it's now collected by Abrams ComicArts in the new hardcover Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story. McDonnell saw how denying Charlie Brown satisfaction caused pain for his friend Charles M. Schulz, and he did not want that for himself. With Guard Dog released, he can tell new stories and create new missions for his characters and readers. This week on the podcast, Patrick McDonnell joins us for a Mutts celebration. We discuss why it took him so long to unite Guard Dog and Doozy. He explains the power of long-form storytelling in comic strips and the spirituality the practice of daily creating awoke in him. We found the conversation vital and are eager to share it with you. Follow Mutts on Twitter and Instagram, and sign up for the Daily Mutts strip HERE.

The creator of the beloved comic strip Mutts, Patrick McDonnell, is here this week in Episode #657 as we discuss his newest book release, Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story, now available in all great bookstores and local comics shops! Patrick's book, which presents this story in color for the very first time, is described this way: “The syndicated comic strip Mutts features the adventures of Mooch, the curious cat, and Earl, the ever-trusting dog. In 1995, McDonnell introduced a new character in Mutts: Guard Dog, a chained dog longing for his freedom. Now available, Abrams ComicsArts has published Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story, a celebration and history of Guard Dog with a full color version of his newsworthy story of long-awaited freedom that has captivated readers around the world. Over the years, Guard Dog, one of the strip's most beloved characters, has played an important role in raising awareness about the cruelty of tethering and has inspired countless readers to become involved in animal welfare. Guard Dog is abandoned by his owner, left alone and suffering. But he's soon discovered by his animal friends Mooch and Earl, and Doozy, a kindly neighborhood girl, who work together to rescue their friend.” We discuss who the characters are, how this book came to be, and what we can expect from him in the months ahead.
