New York Times Bestselling Authors


MARIA GOODAVAGE
Goodavage is a veteran reporter and author. No doubt you have heard of her other New York Times bestsellers: Soldier Dogs, Top Dogs, and Secret Service Dogs.
Most recently, Goodavage traveled around the world to see firsthand the advancing technologies involving dogs and their superior noses. She chronicled cancer screening, blood glucose alert dogs, dogs who sniff out malaria and deadly bacteria including the superbug C. difficile. Doctor Dogs is full of riveting stories of the lifesaving power of highly skilled dogs--dogs saving lives!
Her new paperback edition of Doctor Dogs (available now) includes the stories of dogs being trained for and detecting COVID-19. These dogs are being trained around the world to screen incoming passengers at airports and people at other public places.

CAT WARREN
Solo has a fine nose and knows how to use it, but he's only one of many thousands of scent-detection dogs all over the United States.
What good working dogs can do may seem magical or mysterious, but What the Dog Knows shows the science, the rigorous training, and the skilled handling that underlie these amazing abilities.
Hear Catherine "Cat" Warren, author of What the Dog Knows and What the Dog Knows for Young Readers (now available in paperback) share her insights, experiences, and stories about detection dogs and their incredible capabilities.
Warren is also a professor at North Carolina State University, where she teaches science journalism and creative nonfiction. With a background in journalism, you won't want to miss Warren on Dog Talk Live.
