A talented 9-year-old Russian boy with a kind heart is using his painting skills to improve the lives of stray dogs and cats in his town. He paints pet portraits. However, instead of asking for money, this young man gives his work away in exchange for donating supplies to the local animal shelter, where he also volunteers, so that they can care for animals in need.
Young artist Pavel Abramov, from Nizhny Novgorod, started an initiative called “Kind Paintbrush” after his beloved four-legged friend, Barsik, died. The 9-year-old could no longer ignore the suffering population of stray animals in his city. So, he decided to take action and use his gift for art to improve the lives of cats and dogs living in his local shelter, according to Bored Panda.
