Discover why dogs are more than man’s best friend.

“They’ve been reshaped by evolution into the perfect partner for our species. And just as we’ve transformed them, dogs have left an unmistakable pawprint on us and the world we both share.” (PBS - Official Website | Human Footprint)

Join Adam Boyko, associate professor in biomedical sciences at the college of veterinary medicine, for a special introduction to the film "Man's Best Friend", which is part of PBS's Human Footprint series, and a discussion of the latest in canine genetics research. After the film, visit faculty-in-residence, Anthony Hay, and Cornell Companions in the WSH Browsing Library to interact with a variety of dogs and experience first-hand the beneficial effects of the human-animal bond.

Free admission and popcorn! This event is sponsored by Faculty Living-Learning Programs and is part of the “North Campus Goes to the Movies” film series.
