Spread the love

Celebrating love is an act of resistance. Who are the people that matter the most in your life? Our authors and members of our team have shared some beautiful love stories with us this month to celebrate valentines, family, and our human and non-human friends. We all could use a little more love in our everyday lives! 

Brooklyn’s Forever Valentine

Carey Theil, author of Brooklyn Goes Home

“During the three years that Brooklyn lived with us that his closest friend became Gina. She was with him every day, galloping around our office with him, kissing him.”


A New Level of Love

Hope Bohanec, author of The Humane Hoax

“As a long-time vegan and animal advocate, I’ve always respected chickens’ lives. However, I had never lived with a chicken until the day I rescued Kukkuta.”


A Revolutionary Love

Tracey Glover, author of Lotus of the Heart

“Real love is not restricted to our own species anymore than it is constrained by any other category we use to differentiate and divide ourselves from each other. Real love is boundless both in measure and reach. Real love has no limits.”


Kind Love

Anouk Frolic, author of The Be Kind Alphabet

“If we’re lucky, we form a bond so close, we call them our “heart” animal. I have been fortunate so far in my life to have experienced several of those.”


Institute for Animal Happiness

Rebecca Moore, Founder of IFAH

“To IFAH, love is a force for healing, and healing can extend to both the caregiver and the nonhuman person receiving care.”


Summer Showers

Luiza Guimaraes, social media and digital marketing associate at Lantern

“Grandma was loving, and kind, and patient. But she was terrified of storms. Summer storms made her anxious.”

Summer Showers

by Luiza Guimarães, social media and digital marketing associate at Lantern Publishing & Media

Where I am from, the holidays are synonymous with hot weather, pools, and summer storms. Free from school obligations, lucky kids get to play around until Carnival celebrations end and the year officially starts.

Institute For Animal Happiness

by Rebecca Moore, founder of the Institute for Animal Happiness

At the Institute for Animal Happiness and vegan animal rescues around the world, Love is not just in action on Valentine’s Day, but every single day. To IFAH, love is a force for healing, and healing can extend to both the caregiver and the nonhuman person receiving care when done in an environment that creates a respectful and thoughtful space for that to happen.

Kind Love

by Anouk Frolic, author of The Be Kind Alphabet

The love for our companion animals can be intense, vast, grounding, therapeutic, hard and fast, and heartbreakingly sad when they leave us—always too soon—but worth every tear and heavy heart…to the point that we do it over and over again, because we know the love is so worth it. There’s infinitely more love within us to give and unfortunately, animals in need of being rescued from their circumstances.

A Revolutionary Love

by Tracey Glover, author of Lotus of the Heart

I’m not sure I know exactly when I fell in love with her. I think it was probably the moment I first saw her, or first heard her sweet little peep in the backseat of my hatchback. And then that love grew and deepened over time, as love does.

A New Level of Love

by Hope Bohanec, author of The Humane Hoax

As a long-time vegan and animal advocate, I’ve always respected chickens’ lives. However, I had never lived with a chicken until the day I rescued Kukkuta. A friend called me in a panic about an injured rooster around a shopping area in Cotati, California. He was part of a group of chickens living in the tall grass around the parking lots. The population was growing as more people were abandoning unwanted roosters and hens due to the recent trend of backyard chicken keeping, which often has good intentions but cruel consequences.

Brooklyn’s Forever Valentine

by Carey Theil, author of Brooklyn Goes Home

When we brought Brooklyn home for the first time, Gina was curious. Then furious. Who was this big white and brown dog, this interloper from the Fare East, doing in her house? More importantly, why was Christine giving him so much attention? It didn’t seem to matter to her that they were both greyhounds.
