Hammy’s Story: a Journey from Cage to Companion

Dr. Susan interviews journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan about her adopted research beagle Hammy, discussing his journey from a research kennel to a loving home.

The episode examines the largely hidden world of canine research, ethical questions, and hope for making improvements. It also highlights a recent book event featuring the author, a regional shelter director, and rescued lab beagles.
