Attention humans - VOTE

imagine if we all could vote
We the people have the power of our vote, our buying choices and our freedoms to believe in and express our opinions, and the ability to make change. Apathy, ignorance and opting out, weaken that power. The candidates and issues that we choose to support, whether locally or nationally, affect us, our pets, the planet, and the quality of our lives.

Whether you are for or against expanding the cage size of confined animals, decide to purchase or not to purchase a designer dog, or select a candidate of your choosing - you must weigh in. Deciding these things is our superpower.

Please, stay informed, get involved and participate.

What do Putin, a dog named Blue and a Teacup have in common?

I wrote this book to address the international epidemic of  breeding and trafficking in "Instagram worthy" mutts. No matter how many thousands of dollars or pounds you spent on a puggle - you bought a mutt. My hope is that everyone who likes dogs, knows someone who wants a dog, and all who rejects gratuitous cruelty, will read this book and advocate for the original, organic and unique dogs already waiting for you in shelters everywhere. The book is not scary or depressing but rather calls on us together to improve the lives of dogs everywhere.

I am donating the majority of the proceeds to spcaLA because without spcaLA there would be no book. You can also learn more about the book here

Thank you in advance for your interest!
