Is there anything more delightful than seeing the children get up nice and close to their new pet who is trying its best to be attractive in order to get out of this nightmare? Whether it's a cat, dog or deadly diamond backed rattlesnake pets sure are a lot of fun, in the beginning.

Pets provide their owners or guardians both physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air and social interaction. In addition to the pleasure pets give to children, pets can give companionship to people who are living alone or elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people. There is a medically approved class of therapy animals, mostly dogs or cats, that are brought to visit confined humans, such as children in hospitals or elders in nursing homes. Pet therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive or emotional goals with patients.

People most commonly get pets for companionship, to protect a home or property or because of the perceived beauty or attractiveness of the animals. A 1994 Canadian study found that the most common reasons for not owning a pet were lack of ability to care for the pet when traveling, lack of time and lack of suitable housing, with dislike of pets being less common. Some scholars, ethicists and animal rights organizations have raised concerns over keeping pets because of the lack of autonomy and the objectification of non-human animals.

Furry Friends is made from 100% recycled premium board and can be assembled time and time again without any loss of quality. ***All order shipped from Canada Puzzles are packed in custom fitted, heavy duty cardboard boxes and are fully insured against loss or damage.***

About Steve Crisp

Steve Crisp is a British artist who creates rural country scenes, British nostalgia, jungle wildlife, and other lovely images that have been made into jigsaw puzzles. He’s published by many puzzle manufacturers such as Gibsons.

In a recent interview Steve acknowledged his rather unique and some might say privileged lifestyle. Of course as a freelance artist he is always at the mercy of the market and what is regarded as suitable material for the various companies to whom he supplies his artistic endeavours.

Living in the country and working from home takes discipline so he usually rises at 8 am and is at work in the studio before 9 a.m. Each and every day Steve tries to achieve a list of tasks prepared beforehand. Steve is a disciplined person who enjoys cycling and golf on a regular basis but if he does some physical activity he makes sure to make up for the fun in the studio. Living in the country affords Steve to indulge in a pub lunch and on his ways he might see an image or two that takes his fancy so with the technology of a mobile phone at hand he can take some pictures that might be useful for his work.

Steve blends his work from three distinct sources, his own photographs taken from the country surrounding his home, from his vast repository of work he has compiled over the years which amounts to over 600 illustrations and also from being able to apply various software programmes on his computer to move various aspect of pictures into a harmonious resolution. Steve then paints the rough prototype from the various sources and presents us with what must be considered a unique and enchanting view of British life in yesteryear adapted for the Gibsons jigsaw catalogue.

Canada Jigsaw Puzzles is thrilled to carry Steve's work and Canadian puzzle hobbyists have made Steve a surefire winner in Canadian homes.
