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!

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.”
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.”


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.”
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.”


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.”
Luiza Guimaraes, social media and digital marketing associate at Lantern

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.

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.

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.
