A friend just told me about a conversation she overheard – a pregnant woman was saying how she had to ‘get rid of her dog’ because they were having a baby. Unfortunately, this is a situation we’ve heard again and again. This is particularly sad, not only obviously for the dog, but for the baby as well, who is about to miss out big-time on benefits from having a pet around.

So in answer to this:
Firstly, dogs and other pets are not commodities, they should not be sold or traded when circumstances change.
Secondly, pets have enormous benefits on kids growing up. In fact, we were so blown away about the research we wrote an article about it, which you can read here.

This article also led to us devoting a book to the subject and then publishing the book to raise funds to help animals and habitats recover from the Black Saturday bushfires. You can help us by buying this book Moments of Connection, which is featured on this website.

We do not receive government funding but we do have a vision to help animals. This is not a donation – it’s buying a quality product at a quality price while spreading the word about the benefits of animals and respect for all of earth’s inhabitants. The difference is that the money we make goes to making a difference to animals and their habitats, not to someone’s bank account.  

We have four projects we’d like to undertake in the Black Saturday Bushfire area – but we cannot do this without your help! So please, buy a book, hell, buy a few and help the ones that can’t help themselves today!
