WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Thursday, November 12, 2020. Our top story is about how with this holiday season looking a lot different due to COVID-19, catering companies have had to re-think how they operate to best serve their communities. You'll also hear from Illinois Wesleyan University psychology professor and dog psychologist Ellen Furlong. Her new audiobook available on Audible is called "Decoding Dogs: Inside the Canine Mind". In this interview with student reporter Darnysha Mitchell, Furlong says a lot of what dogs think is "what's that smell like?" She says they can sniff out one dirty sock in a pile of two million dirty socks and even get a whiff of cancer cells.
Daniel Musisi is WCBU's Assistant Audio Director. He's also the host of our daily newsmagazine All Things Peoria.
