Cats and dogs sometimes find their way home from places far beyond familiar territory. Science can explain part of the journey – but not all of it. And even if we understood exactly how they do it, another mystery would remain: why are they trying to get home at all?
Dogs don’t stop every few feet to test our patience. They may be reading a world we never even notice. What if the most interesting part of the walk wasn’t the destination – but everything happening along the way?
Animals play for reasons science is still working to understand. But when they invite us to join the game, something even more interesting happens: somehow, two different species learn how to play together.
