Though humans tend to have very many differences, nothing can bring us closer together than a cute puppy or kitty.
They seem to have a special spirit with which humans can connect.
I have owned dogs and cats since I was six years old. I am now 53. My feelings
about them have not changed. Like young children, they teach me about unconditional
love, something that is often lost in the hustle and bustle world in which we live.
They bring me back to basics.
That is why, as a cartoonist, I have dedicated a great deal of my work to the
animal kingdom; particularly dogs and cats. Though there are many topics with which
I deal, from science to relationships, my dog, cat, and other animal ones are the ones of which I am most fond.
I manufacture products such as cartoon t shirts, mouse pads, aprons, hoodies,
tote bags, and other casual wear featuring cartoons. Again, my favorite are dog
and cat cartoon products.
I put aside a percentage of all sales from those products to benefit various
animal causes. At first, I thought it would be a good incentive for other animal
lovers to purchase my products so I could help animals at shelters and others in
trouble. Though that is happening, I am also receiving orders for pet-related cartoon products from people who have never even owned an animal.
Many of them simply find the products to be unique gifts with funny cartoons on them.
But I've received emails from a number of clients who simply express that they want to help a good cause.
If this does not renew one's faith in the human race, I am not sure what will. Animals have nothing to give back (materially) but unconditional love, one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable asset one can have.
If you've not experienced the uncondional love of a pet, I suggest to visit your local shelter today. We all have done things in our lives of which we are not proud, possibly regret. I assure you this will not be one of them. It will change your life in such a positive way, words cannot express it.
