158. Patricia McConnell, PhD, CAAB

It’s never too late for old dogs—or humans—to learn new tricks. At 77, animal behaviorist and best-selling non-fiction author Patricia McConnell, PhD, CAAB, has shifted gears and is now publishing her first-ever novel. A murder mystery set amid the world of competitive sheepdog trials, Away to Me features plenty of suspense but rest assured—all the dogs make it out safely! Patricia came on the show to chat with me about her book, the art of storytelling, and making the most of our "one wild and precious” life.
