8 Year Old Boy Writes Book on Animal Rights

Posted by Sammy Holt on August 25th, 2009

ph2009081803932We’ve always said it’s never too early to start changing the world! And today, Joshua Bayer - an eight year old native of La Plata, Maryland - is showing us just that.

Joshua is a big-time animal lover. In fact, his entire family is, as they have  a total of 4 pets: 3 dogs and 1 cat. That’s why it shook him to the core when he ‘googled’ and found out that more than 3,000 dogs are dying a year from either not being adopted or dying on the streets.

Taking matters upon himself, Joshua has recently written and illustrated a book entitled “M-M-M-Monster!!!” to raise money for animal rescue efforts. The book will be sold for $10 a pop and - as per Joshua’s request - the proceeds being equally divided between Whipkey’s group, the Charles County Humane Society, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Living without the presence of strategies to the difficulties you have resolved by way of the blog post is a critical case, as well as ones which may have negatively damaged my career if I had not discovered your blog post.
