Neil Humphrey

Neil Humphrey earned his PhD in environmental history from The Ohio State University in 2024. His dissertation, "In a Dog's Age: Fabricating the Family Dog in Modern Britain, 1780-1920," examines how, why, and where the modern pet dog originated. When not writing about dogs he enjoys spending time hiking with—and forever tossing tennis balls to—​his golden retriever.
