In this Pod, Karolina Westlund and Katriina Tiira illuminate what happens when science and empathy work together
“I got really interested in epistemology—the science of knowledge, of how we take in information… We tend to be hesitant to do that because we feel safe in our own turf, in our own silos.” Her metaphor of finding the “yellow umbrella” shows how we can meet across divides.
“Dog breeding… is actually the world’s largest breeding experiment,” she explains, urging us to bring compassion to both ends of the leash. Her SmartDog testing shows the power of reframing: “After the test… the dog didn’t change, I didn’t change, but our relationship is completely different, because I understand the dog.”
The pod is followed by a 60-minute live, eCPR based, empathy-led community discussion where we will reflect on what was shared and engage directly with you. Share your thoughts, ask tough questions, and be a part of shaping this conversation. Join us LIVE, October 5 or watch the recording.
✨ These conversations aren’t about training tips. They’re about survival, identity, and the relationships that keep us going. They’re about ending isolation — for dogs and for people.
