We have a dog. Her name is Mimi. I had a talk with her the other day about her carbon paw print. I suggested a high protein, plant-based dog food. As you can see from from the picture above, she didn't seem too thrilled about it. As I explained, we all have to do our part for the sake of the environment and future generations.
We compromised, agreeing on the dog food if I would do a photo-shoot of her on the website.
