Two academics from the University's School of Veterinary Sciences will feature on the Channel 4 programme Dogs: Their Secret Lives .

Dr Rachel Casey, European Specialist in Veterinary Behavioural Medicine and Senior Lecturer in Companion Animal Behaviour and Welfare, and Dr Emily Blackwell, Dogs Trust Lecturer in Canine Behaviour and Welfare, will discuss separation related behaviours, which are only shown when dogs are left alone by their owners.

The Bristol academics recruited 40 dogs into a study and filmed them at home to find out what dogs really do when their owner isn't there.

Dogs: Their Secret Lives will be broadcast on Channel 4 tonight, Monday 14 October, at 8 pm.
