This is a Moth Radio Hour.
I'm your host, Alistair Bain.
In this episode, we'll be celebrating the bonds between people and animals.
I live in Colorado with an assorted pack of dogs and foster dogs, including two formerly feral dogs and a pit bull that carries his teddy bear with him wherever he goes.
I've learned so much from my own pets about courage, resilience, loyalty, and I even developed some fairly advanced reupholstering skills because sometimes a sofa will be mistaken for a rather large chew toy.
In this hour, we will hear seven storytellers share stories about themselves and their relationship to the animal kingdom.
Catherine Palmer told this first story at an open mic story slam we produced in Pittsburgh, where we partner with public radio station WESA.
Live from the Rex Theater, here's Catherine Palmer.
That was Catherine Palmer.
I just love the compassion she had for all those baby snakes.
The other day I was thinking that maybe I had too many baking dishes, but I think I'll hold on to them now.
Catherine works as an audiologist in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Her sister-in-law's family has since moved to the city because baby snakes in the kitchen eventually lost their appeal.
Our next story comes from Jitesh Jaggi.
He told it live on stage at the Athenaeum Theater in Chicago, where we partner with public radio station WBEZ.
Here's Jitesh.
That was Jitesh Jaggi.
Jitesh is currently working on a book of essays and coaches other storytellers.
Coco is enjoying her golden years, often going on road trips throughout the country with her new family.
Coco has her own stroller for times when she doesn't feel like walking, and she says it's delightful to see people's reactions when they find a senior dog, rather than a newborn baby, in the carriage.
