Here are two things that Bubble taught me:
• Even swimming upside down will get you somewhere.
• When people say you can’t do something, maybe they’re wrong.

I promise to be kind and gentle to all animals. I will make sure that any pets in my care are loved, comfortable, safe, and have enough food and water. If I want to approach a pet I don’t know, I will ask the owner first. When I am with an animal, I won’t only think about what I want. I will think about how that animal might feel and what he wants, too. I will do my part to make the world a better place for animals everywhere.
