Emmylou.2.jpg"Animals, that's what I want to devote my life to now," Emmylou Harris tells Animal Radio listeners this weekend.

Which is fine with me, as long as she keeps singing, too.

The 12-time Grammy Award winner guests on the AM-FM (terrestrial) and XM Satellite Radio broadcast of Animal Radio Saturday and Sunday.

"Animals can teach us how to be better human beings. They've certainly taught me that," Harris says on the program. She also discusses her dog Bonaparte and his legacy.

Also on the program, Richard Pryor's wife, Jennifer Pryor, talks about "Pryor's Planet," ­ an animal advocacy organization. The comedian's love for animals reached the point where, "Richard would get out of the car and talk to cows. H­e had an animal magnetism."

Animal Radio is broadcast on XM Satellite Radio channel 158 on Saturday from noon to 2 p.m., and Sunday from 9 to 11 a.m.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
