The historic and courageous stories of dogs, like Balto and Hachikō, are timeless, especially during periods of worry and unrest. We look up to these heroic companions to find hope in times of doubt, comfort in times of hardship, and happiness in times of sadness. I drew a dog I love that has kept my spirits up during COVID-19, a heroic deed that I will not forget.

Las históricas y valientes historias de perros, como Balto y Hachikō, son atemporales, especialmente durante los períodos de preocupación e inquietud. Admiramos a estos heroicos compañeros para encontrar esperanza en tiempos de duda, consuelo en tiempos de dificultad y felicidad en tiempos de tristeza. Dibujé un perro que amo que me ha mantenido el ánimo durante el COVID-19, un hecho heroico que no olvidaré.
