300 – Animals that Return

Richard Sugg joins us again to discuss the weird story of Bobbie the Wonder Dog (aka Silverton Bobbie) – a dog that took a trip of more than 2500 miles to return to its family.  The centenary of this event is almost on us – and this is our 300th episode of the show.  Lots to think about in this episode and I hope you’ll share your own thoughts about what mechanisms might be at play behind the phenomenon of animals that manage to find their way home.
