We want to hear from you! What is your story with your special animal friend?  Love at first sight? Best buddies?  Teacher? Read on or listen here to find out how to share your story with us, and maybe our global podcast audience.

How to tell us about your special relationship:

1.  Find a quiet room and open a recording app on your phone or tablet.

2. In no more than 3 to 5 minutes, and in English please, tell us your first name, your special animal’s name, and where in the world you live. 

3. Then tell us what makes your relationship so special, and tell us why you feel that way. Share with us a specific story that illustrates why you feel the way you do about your animal. Perhaps some time, event, or occasion that really made your animal’s purpose or connection with you shine through.  

 4. If you have time within your 3-5 minutes, you can paint us a picture of what your animal friend is like. What color? How old? How did you get together? Then just email your recording to [email protected]

Occasionally we will share stories with our audience, and one of them could be yours!
