WESLEY THE OWL The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl

When Stacey O'Brien became "smitten beyond reason" and adopted an injured owl while working at Cal Tech, it was for life. As it turned out, it was a decision that saved both her life and the owl’s. Renée Raudman reads O'Brien's story of human-animal bonding with such compassion and interest in her subject that listeners may forget she's not the author. Even unpleasant subjects like owl bathroom habits and the process of killing mice for Wesley's dinner become humorous and fascinating. O'Brien packs in a lot of information about owls, animals, and life at Cal Tech, and it all flows naturally in Raudman's reading. J.A.S.
