Discovered on the Internet by Animal Planet and Tokyo Broadcasting System.

Time on Animal Planet in the series "Pet story." This is a half hour program

Dedicated to the story of a pet and it's owner. These stories focus on the

Relationships people have with their pets. With 30 different stories, each

Is dynamic and ongoing.

Glass DiFede Productions worked with Charlie and our family on

Our the episode entitled "Llama Llove." Animal Planet, along with the

Producers of Glass Difede Productions, fell in love with this story because

Of our unique relationship with Charlie and the ongoing story of Charlie going to visit a

Nursing Home for the first time while they were there to "capture the

Moment."

Charlie is a unique llama, he has a lot of personality and is quite lovable

And intelligent. He won our hearts when we were first training him and, after

Becoming a member of our family, he soon showed that he had a disposition

Enabling him to help people in a therapeutic capacity. Glass DiFede

Productions said: "We are looking forward to sharing your story through

Interviews and action, learning the "back story" of how Charlie became a

Member of the Stillwell family, through his work with handicapped children

To finally Charlie's first visit to Franciscan Health System Care Center

In Bothell, WA."

Angela Mancici, Associate Producer said: "Each episode is told in the words

Of the people we are focused on. We do not have a host, and only use

Outside narration when absolutely necessary. Your story will be told in

Your own words. The program is focused on the relationships between

Animals and "their people." We look for programs that are dynamic and

Ongoing as well as visually interesting. "Llama Llove" is such a story and

We are quite pleased to be able to share it with the viewers of Animal
