Filmmakers Journey Zephyr and Keegan Kuhn, with Aysha Aktar, MD, MPH, join Victoria to get us clear on this issue (and explain how such a somber subject than make such a funny movie).

Investigation opened her eyes and her journalist's cred opened doors into the hidden world of breeding and using beagles for biomedical research, drug and product testing, and education. Her book takes readers behind lab doors and into conversations with researchers, activists, ethicists, vets, and lawmakers.
