In this gripping episode, Victoria chats with Jim Crosby—former police officer, canine behavior expert, and forensic investigator—about the heartbreaking and vital work of understanding fatal dog attacks. Jim opens up about his transition from law enforcement to animal behavior and being one of the only experts to combine behavioral science with crime scene investigation. From dogfighting raids to fatality cases, Jim shares powerful stories of real dogs, real outcomes, and real evidence, emphasizing how understanding canine behavior can save both human and animal lives.

They discuss the realities behind canine aggression, how trauma and environment influence behavior, and why breed-specific legislation misses the mark. Jim also dives into the work he's doing with the Canine Brain Project at Harvard, stressing the importance of accurate data collection and individualized assessment over knee-jerk reactions. Whether you're a trainer, pet parent, or policy-maker, this episode is a sobering but essential reminder that behavior is complex, context matters, and prevention starts with listening.
