Kate and Casey are up in Wisconsin this week, making a documentary about a Catholic doctor who rides on horseback to serve the Amish (I think that’s how it goes), but before they left we chatted about all God’s creatures, great and small. Not the books. Not the tv shows. The actual animals: pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, cats. Does a love of animals make you happier and holier? Or can it sometimes make you crazier?

Show Notes:

The Business of Being Born

Brother Sun, Sister Moon

The Wolf of Gubio

Saintly Creatures: 14 Tales of Animals and Their Holy Companions by Alexi Sargeant
