There are times when I have to admit that I don't like the free market. I really don't like it when I go to the mall (which I try to avoid at all costs - too many scary looking teenagers with big pants) and see those adorable puppies wiggling and squiggling all over each other. What amazes me is that people actually buy dogs (or cats) from these wretched places.

Patrick McDonnell, Creator of Mutts
Who would guess that an uncomplicated comic strip about a dog and a cat might help to improve the lives of real dogs and cats? The stars of the Mutts comic strip, Earl and Mooch don’t walk on their hind feet or talk to their humans. They play outside, chase other animals and are taunted endlessly by nut-tossing squirrels. Their strong base for humour is that they act just like we expect dogs and cats to behave. It is obvious through his work in Mutts that cartoonist Patrick McDonnell is an animal lover, using his acclaimed strip to promote animal rights and safety.
