Let's learn all about the secret life of dogs and their humans! Dozer's Pet Diesel explores the fascinating and often humorous relationship between humans and their canine companions. While dogs are widely seen as loyal and affectionate pets, this thought-provoking documentary asks a surprising question: have dogs been shaping human behavior as much as we have shaped theirs? Drawing on insights from Animal Behavior and Evolutionary Biology, the film examines how thousands of years of coexistence have created a unique partnership between humans and dogs. Through observation and storytelling, it suggests that the bond between species may be more reciprocal than we often imagine-raising the playful possibility that humans may be just as trained by dogs as dogs are by us. Student Learning Outcomes: After viewing this documentary, students will be able to: Explain the evolutionary relationship between humans and dogs. Describe key principles of Animal Behavior.
