Broadcast on the Pet Life Radio Network, the world's number-one pet radio network, the interview features Crystal and her trainer, Tom Gunderson, who gives listeners a first-hand look at the hard work and dedication it takes to bring Crystal's roles to life on the silver screen, and what it takes to protect animal actors like her.

Crystal is featured in the new book, "Animal Stars: Behind the Scenes with Your Favorite Animal Actors," written by American Humane Association President and CEO Dr. Robin Ganzert with Allen and Linda Anderson, the husband-and-wife founders of the Angel Animals Network. Featuring a foreword by "America's Veterinarian," Dr. Marty Becker, "Animal Stars" offers a peek at the fascinating world of animals and animal trainers in today's film and television industry - and the celebrities with whom they work.

Last fall, Dr. Ganzert traveled the country on a twelve-city book signing tour for "Animal Stars."

"Crystal is one of the most famous and beloved animal stars in Hollywood history and it was an honor to feature her and Tom on this week's show" said program host Dr. Robin Ganzert, American Humane Association's president and CEO. "Listen to this week's episode and you'll see why Crystal is regarded as the 'Angelina Jolie of animal stars' and why the late Robin Williams referred to her as 'his favorite leading lady.'
