Hi, this is Daryl Lando in Toronto, Canada.

You're listening to the Happy Pod from the BBC World Service.

I'm Nick Miles and in this edition.

The film's about love and compassion as much as anything.

Whether it's to an animal or a human being, the more

you give to something or somebody that's in need, the more you get back. The couple who saved

a wild otter cub tell us how it's changed their lives. Also, I need every time if I want to go

somewhere ask, I felt helpless. The technology offering freedom to some people with cerebral palsy

and the power of telling someone else's story.

When Ivy Apu told me about her story,

I felt like she is actually a light that world needs to see.

Music actually a light that world needs to see. We start with a story about kindness and compassion, two things we often talk about

on the happy pod, but in this case, it's towards a wild otter.

Billy and Susan Mayle spotted a starving otter cup outside their home on the Scottish

island of Shetland three years ago. They nurtured her back to health and named her Molly.

But the couple say she's the one that's transformed their lives.

And the extraordinary story has now been made into a film.

The Happy Pod's Holly Gibbs spoke to Susan and Billy,

who explained he first spotted Molly catching crabs and eating them

on a floating pontoon outside their house.

Curiosity got the better off me and I thought,

I wonder how close I can get to this wild author
