Description
This week Dr Sam Willis explores the heart-warming story of maritime pets by speaking with Pat Sullivan from the excellent Museum of Maritime Pets. There is a centuries-old tradition of animals living on or near water, and collaborating with man (and woman) in both peace and war. Pat has spent a great deal of time documenting these animals' contributions and promoting the safe and humane treatment of animals who live or work on or near waterways in our modern world. From live-saving and courageous Newfoundlands swimming to the rescue, to chatty parrots, and cats that can catch fish, you will never think the same way about pets and the maritime world ever again.
