Co-Investigator Alumni

  • Kodi

    Kodi is a beagle-shepherd mix who graduated in 2019 with her B.S. (Best Service) in Dog. She currently works as a service dog alongside her handler, Alexa. Her research interests include olfactory perception and canine experiences of food consumption. When she is not working (and often when she is), she enjoys sniffing any and all scents, eating, and - most importantly - napping.

  • Matilda (Tilly)

    Matilda (Tilly) is a world traveler - she lived in an animal shelter in one state and a cat cafe in another before finally moving in with Cassandra in 2022. Tilly loves bird- and people-watching through the window and prefers spinach and cat grass to regular treats. Her hobbies include hiding her toys under the fridge, knocking things over in the middle of the night, and occasionally allowing herself to enjoy being pet.
