Ever wonder about the story behind the story when you read a great book about a dog, cat, or any creature? Animal Writes pulls back the curtain, sitting down with the people who put those unforgettable animal tales into words. Host Tim Link from Pet Life Radio guides conversations with best-selling authors, award-winning journalists, and insightful bloggers who dedicate their craft to the animal kingdom. This isn't just a series of author readings; it's a deeper dive into the motivations and connections that fuel these narratives. You'll hear firsthand why a writer was drawn to a particular animal's journey, what that creature truly meant in their life, and often discover what happened to the animal after the last page was turned. Designed for families, animal lovers, and the curious, this podcast explores the heartfelt and sometimes surprising intersections of literature, journalism, and our pets. It’s for anyone who believes the most compelling stories often have four legs, feathers, or fins. Tune in for a unique blend of education and heartfelt storytelling that celebrates the profound bond between humans and animals, all through the voices of the writers who capture it so well.
