She and friend and lifelong animal lover Chandler Strange decided to collaborate on a series of stories about Sal and his pals to teach children the importance of adopting their new best friends from shelters and treating all animals with love, dignity and respect, no matter their age or health. Sal's legacy, just like his heart, is a big one and it has grown to include Sal Pals, plush toys based
on the characters as well as products made by and for animal lovers and their pets. 10% of proceeds will go to support animal rescue groups and worthy shelters.
