Animal Companions
stories from the stage

As we share life with our loyal companions, they in turn teach us about love, compassion, and mortality. Bill Harley goes above and beyond to try and save the life of his son's hamster; farming teaches Ray Christian lessons about life and death; and Alta McDonald finds inner peace by swimming with a loon. Three storytellers, three interpretations of ANIMAL COMPANIONS. Hosted by Wes Hazard.

Episode Duration: 26 minutes and 40 seconds

Episode Number: 620
