My friend’s kid brought this home today - this is a truly insane message
A coloring sheet with pigs and also bacon and ham on it, with text in a kid font about that says “today I learned that pigs are valuable animals”

Hi everyone! I’m Amritha and I study canine olfaction, speech perception, and attention! I’m currently doing a postdoc at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center with my foster dog Dalton, who works on research studies with me!
