Our picture represents compassion and kindness. Some people make fun of people who mourn the loss of a pet. This piece was inspired when a friend shared that she was made fun of because she was grieving the loss of her dog. We selected a dog for the pet in this picture because over half of the world’s population owns or has owned a dog. We chose a retriever because it is one of the most popular breeds of dogs.
