How do dogs know if a human is trying to deceive them and how do they react? Also, behind the scenes of a tearjerker of a dog movie, The Art of Racing in the Rain.

Can your dog tell if you lie to them?

Dogs as lie detectors – who’d have thought it? Humans and dogs may have different genetics, but they may be more similar than we think in how they perceive deception.

About Lisa Spector 

In 2017, after 10 years of creating music to relieve pet anxiety, NPR called Lisa Spector The Pet Calming Maestro. While she says she didn’t graduate from Juilliard to perform for dogs and cats, it warms her heart and feeds her soul to use her music talents to help improve the lives of our beloved pets. As co-founder of Through a Dog’s Ear (now iCalmPet) and the pianist on the music series, Lisa has appeared on the CBS Early ShowNPR, and CBS Australia. She’s the only classical pianist to reach Billboard’s Classical Top 20 Chart with pet music. Her piano playing is currently soothing anxiety in dogs in over 1,500 shelters and rescue organizations worldwide. The “Music in Shelters” program was inspired by her volunteer work with Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA in The San Francisco Bay Area.
