Let's Go on Safari!
To Robert B. Haas, going on photographic safari allows him to
watch animals in their natural habitats and to “take back a treasure or
trophy without harming the animal in any way.”

Nickelodeon's iCarly
is more than a TV show—it's a show
within a show! It's about Carly (played by Miranda Cosgrove), a girl who
hosts her own Web show with the help of her friends Sam (Jennette
McCurdy) and Freddie (Nathan Kress). When we learned how much Miranda,
Nathan, and Jennette help others (including animals!), we couldn't wait
to chat with them. Learn more about this talented
trio!
On
Course to Save Horses
As the author of the Phantom Stallion
and
Wild Horse Island series, Terri Farley
has penned more than 30 books—with more on the way! The
Phantom Stallion books follow the
adventures of Samantha Forster and a mysterious silver stallion known as
the Phantom. It wasn't until after she wrote about her fictional
Phantom Stallion that Farley learned
about a real Phantom Stallion. Read about both, and
find out why wild horses need your help today.
Sean Astin, Actor & Animal Lover

Planet's Meerkat Manor.

Think
Positive
Take it from one of today's most well-known dog
trainers: You have to look at things from your dog's point of view.
Victoria Stilwell has been teaching frustrated dog caregivers just that
on her Animal Planet show
It's Me or the Dog. On the show, Stilwell has reined in some of
England's most poorly behaved pooches—and their caregivers. Now she's
bringing It's Me or the Dog to the U.S. She's showing America's
pet parents that some positive training—and a little patience—can go a
long way. Get Victoria Stilwell's training tips!
Compassion
is His Fashion
As a child in the United Kingdom, Nigel Barker always loved
animals. He thought of one day becoming a zoologist or marine biologist.
As it turned out, Barker would grow up to become a fashion
photographer—and now a judge on
America’s Next Top
Model.
Barker never left behind his love for animals though. Today, he
combines his photography skills with his compassion for animals. He’s
the spokesperson for The Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS)
ProtectSeals campaign. See how he hopes to use his images of the young seals in
their natural habitat to help bring the seal hunt to an end.

Write from the Heart

Before You Were Mine, a book
about a boy and his adopted dog. Read more about
the author—and the dog who inspired her story.
