lick spotlight - dog superpowers

What’s Your Superpower? I found my superpower the day hate stole our nation’s innocence. I’d flown into Pennsylvania the night before for a family visit. In the morning my mom woke me with the words, “there’s something on TV you should see.” I stumbled downstairs in time to see the second plane dive into the south tower of the world Trade Center. My first reaction: We’re at war. My second reaction: What am doing that matters? My mission changed from making money to changing the world. I found my superpower: my voice. Superpowers emerge when you focus on helping others. I began exploring philanthropy, creating art events for Katina victims, then for our returning soldiers. My true power emerged after adopting my two dogs and seeing the state of our shelter system. We became fashion saving dogs , hosting rescue events and pet fashion events. Now the dogs are saving people through superpowers of their own. We make pop culture pet parodies, using fashion, photoshop and Instagram to amplify all that’s good in the world. One thing we do is a weekly comic strip featuring our instagram friends .

Comic books and Jazz are our two great American art forms. Both emerged at a time when America was at a crossroads. The depression was ending, America’s entrance into WWII just beginning. Women went to work as the men went off to war, and hundreds of thousands of immigrants fleeing the destruction of Europe smiled up at the statue of liberty with dreams of a better life rimming their eyes.
