What makes a cop quit his job to become a writer about animals? Seems like quite a transition. Author and Animal Radio friend Allen Anderson is back to share his story and tell us what he’s been up to since a brain aneurysm changed his journey. Also, Boston Globe reporter Stephanie St. Martin may have identified a correlation between animal ownership and being single. She says it’s time to stop freaking out your dates by showing them all the pictures of your “children” on the first date. Also, Hallmark created a Valentine’s Day card for your dog. Vinnie Penn Doesn’t get it. Why would you send a card to your dog? Do you also open it and read it to them? Wouldn’t that Valentine-themed dog treat be a better choice? Also, with so many pet businesses and services dotting the landscape these days, it’s hard to know which one is the right one for you and your pet. Stacey Cohen has tips to help you choose pet sitters. Also, a cat in Brazil was locked up after it was found carrying contraband into a prison. Attached to it were drills, a mobile phone, an earphone, a memory card, batteries, and a phone charger.  A spokesperson for the prison says they are investigating the matter. However, they say, “It’s tough to find out who’s responsible” since the cat obviously cannot speak. The cat was taken to a local animal shelter, where it received medical care.
