In today's episode, we explore why dogs lick people and what those licks might actually mean. From saying hello and showing affection to calming themselves down or getting attention, we learn how dogs use licking as a way to communicate.

Curious Kids Every Day is a daily, interactive podcast that respects your child's intelligence and curiosity. Each episode is designed to stretch young attention spans with thoughtful questions, playful learning, and engaging games. I created this to be a show I would be happy to have my kids listen to.

Along the way, kids play interactive games, test what they learned, and think about how animals communicate without words.
