Spotify creates podcast to save your pup from loneliness 

The World

Streaming site Spotify surveyed 5,000 pet owners from Britain, Australia, Spain, Italy and the United States and found that 71% of pet owners play music for their pets when they leave the house. Nobody wants puppies to feel sad. So Spotify teamed up with British actor Ralph Ineson — best known for his roles in Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and the Office — to create five-hour-long podcasts that serve as a companion to your canine while you’re out of the house. Clive Wynne, author of “Dog is Love: Why and How Your Dog Loves You,” weighs in on the unbreakable bond between dog and human. The World’s Bianca Hillier reports.
