Raising Hare was a short podcast series from BBC Sounds available in January 2025, based on a book written by Chloe Dalton. It documented a real life story of the author, who in the first lockdown of 2020, found an ailing infant hare (a leveret) in a field near her home. What follows is a story of constantly weighing up what the right thing is to do with a wild animal that needs help, but also is at risk from becoming too domesticated if Chloe took the 'wrong' intervention.

The podcast is regrettably no longer available. At the time of recording it was, but it has now been taken down by BBC Sounds. Boooo! However, you can still buy the book (https://sherlockandpages.com/products/raising-hare-the-heart-warming-true-story-of-an-unlikely-friendship-by-chloe-dalton-9781805302711?srsltid=AfmBOoqteowtWPfdz9oUAlxSpEZhBe59Qrzg9fxmOwu2Mwl6DVkAaIdq, among other places) and listen to the audiobook (https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Raising-Hare-Audiobook/B0D1RDP8CD). Whilst we'd hoped that listeners could access the short BBC podcast series for free, we nonetheless hope that this conversation about the story still holds some value in terms of entertainment, inspiration & insight into a view of animals that we might aspire to. And if not, you've still got Dominic & Julie's dulcet tones to enjoy!
