"LEFT BEHIND: THE DOGS OF CHERNOBYL" with Dr. Jennifer Betz
What happens when a nuclear disaster site becomes home to one of the world’s most unique dog populations?
This week, Mark speaks with Dr. Jennifer Betz of the Clean Futures Fund, who has spent years studying, caring for, and advocating for the free-roaming dogs of Chernobyl.
Dr. Betz offers rare insight into the science behind the dogs’ survival, including genetic research, behavioral studies, and the challenges of providing veterinary care within the Exclusion Zone. She also dismantles the many myths — from supposed mutations to ghost-dog stories — revealing the real, grounded truth behind these animals’ lives.
This episode blends history, biology, and human compassion to tell the extraordinary story of the Chernobyl dogs and the people dedicated to protecting them.
