This page is a “thank you” to my parents and my wife for the inspiration they give me every day to entertain thoughts about animal welfare. My parents educated me and showed me the value of all living things in this beautiful and miraculous universe of ours. My wife provides the moral support to continue to help animals in need, even when we should know better. Even though my father is no longer with us, this tribute is well earned by all of them so I’m proud to be able to show all three united in a single picture in our beloved Philippines (in fact, Sampaguita Gardens, New Washington, Aklan).

A special thank you to these three
