Humans have long written poetry about dogs - but why? Is it their loyalty? The joy they take in the world?
And what can a dog teach a poet about writing a poem?

The Poet Laureate Simon Armitage meets Denver the French Bulldog to find out, along with Denver's close companion, the poet Helen Mort.

Emily Wilson, translator of The Odyssey, talks to Simon about one of the most famous dogs in literary history.
