When Julie Szego and her non Jewish partner welcomed a new puppy into the family she wanted to name it after her father's childhood dog. Her partner refused. The dispute got her digging into little-told histories of dogs during the Holocaust. In the aftermath of October 7, which brought new stories of canine suffering and resistance in Israel, she’s again grappling with the question of “Jewish dogs.”
