Here are some ridiculously cute photos we took of our guest Bretagne in the studio last week. You can listen to the Fresh Air interview with Penn Vet Working Dog Center director Dr. Cynthia Otto and training director Annemarie DeAngelo here. And you can see a video of Bretagne getting comfortable by the mic here. Listen for the occasional “ruff” from Bretagne in the interview.

Mapping Latinos in the United States with NPR

The Hispanic population in the United States has grown significantly in the past decade, with Latinos now making up every 1 in 6 residents. Much of the rapid growth - 118 counties have experienced a population change of more than 250%, four have experienced change of more than 1000% - is in the South and Midwest, areas that previously had low Hispanic populations. This morning NPR kicked off a series chronicling this population change and how its changing our overall makeup as a country and impacting towns across the United States. As part of its coverage, NPR is using an interactive map of Census data to show the story of population change.
