In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit the Judith A. Basset Canid Education and Conservation Center, where a California couple has dedicated their lives to showing folks that we have even more best friends than previously thought.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
