So, the question arises once again. Who is Dr. Harp Seal?
From the time Sammy was a baby, he had an amazing ability to make people happy. People from all walks of life and in all kinds of moods took to him. He reminded me of a doctor because doctors make people feel better.
Secondly, I’ve always felt a tremendous amount of compassion for harp seals. Well, for any seals for that matter and the annual hunts they endure in Canada. I won’t get into detail here.
Lastly, Sammy looks like a harp seal as we’ve all seen. So in 2012, I created the Dr Harp Seal character out of that combination of thoughts and he’s been a keeper ever since. Nothing feels better or more real than creating something out of the experiences of one’s own life. Dr Harp Seal came to life just that way.
Let me leave you with this. Dr Harp Seal represents animal kindness across all species. His mantra is “Animal equality is a tireless journey. There will be no retreat.”
Have a great day. Thank you for stopping by, friends.
