I’ve started a Substack newsletter, The Kind Life, viewable at here. The newsletter explores animal minds, feelings, and behavior through real stories and science—and share practical ways to help animals.

Currently I’m researching ways to reach more readers and inspire more compassionate action for animals.
If you have ideas for people, publications, or communities that might connect with The Kind Life, I’d love to hear them. Thank you for reading and being part of this community. carolyn@carolyncott.com
In the meantime, here are a couple of pieces from The Kind Life you might enjoy:
- Everyone Laughed at Finn’s Strange Dance—how an overlooked shelter dog became part of my family.
- The Dog Who Knew 340 Words—what one remarkable border collie reveals about animal minds.
Thank you for being part of a community that cares about animals.
With gratitude,
Carolyn
