| Philosophy | Nonprofit PAWS NY worked with Klick Health to create the gritty, new animated short film “The Bridge,” a beautiful love story between a down-on-his-luck dad and dog who rescue each other by forming a life-saving bond. |
| Problem | The Bridge was created to get people talking about how pets can positively impact mental health, and to raise funds for PAWS NY. Studies show having a pet can have a positive impact on your health, including improved mental health and physical well-being. They have also shown to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. PAWS NY helps New Yorkers overcome physical and financial petcare challenges. By supporting PAWS NY, you help support and strengthen these incredible, life-saving bonds between a human and their animal companion. |
