We’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.
