Have you ever looked deep into the eyes of a dog watching its human — its ‘mum’ or ‘dad’?
In them, there is absolute, crystal-clear devotion. This feeling makes even the coldest heart
melt, reminding us what it means to truly love and be loved.
When we at QUEEN BEE PRODUCTION were filming the participants of the
Green Animal Rescue charity show, it was as if we were reading their stories through their
eyes. After all, it is scientifically proven that when a dog looks at its owner, both experience
a release of oxytocin — the ‘love hormone’, exactly the same process as between a mother
and a baby. And dogs, for example, have evolved specifically to understand our gestures and
to read a person’s micro-expressions. It is astonishing.
These 20 portraits that we are publishing today are only a small part of those bright souls that
we met at the show. We saw dozens of happy dogs who have already found their home, and
every look of theirs, directed at their owner, was for us the highest reward for our work.
For our team, this day became a special one. We at QUEEN BEE PRODUCTION are
currently going through difficult times: many of us have been left without a home, but, like
millions of Ukrainians, we did everything possible to save our animals from the war. We
carried them in our arms, transported them on evacuation trains, and shared the last piece of
bread with them. We know what it means to lose everything, except for that very devotion
which keeps you afloat. That is precisely why we so keenly feel the importance of what
Margaret Green Animal Rescue does; after all, these people save more than 1,200 animals
every year, and behind every saved tail stand 75 staff members and 250 volunteers.
At the show, we saw dogs who have already found their happiness, but in the shelter itself,
right now, there are dozens of others who are still waiting for their human. They still believe
that the world is not all that bad.
We dream of every living soul having a home of their own. And we know: kindness is not an
abstract concept, but a concrete action. It is the decision to be ‘good’ and responsible even
when you are not going through the best of times yourself.
Take a look at the Margaret Green Animal Rescue website. There live those whose eyes are
waiting only for you. Let us return to our ‘true’ selves — those who know how to empathise
and give life.
