“Samantha (Puppy Mill Warrior)” by Artist Magmo

Magmo had illustrated the Puppy Mill Warriors after adopting their dog Dino, a Tibetan Spaniel mix, from the Little Forgotten Friends Rescue, directed & founded by Maria LaRocca. Magmo and wife Tomoko had also attended this years Westminster Dog Show in N.Y.C. and was very surprised to see how so many dogs are pampered and considered "best of breed", while thousands of other less fortunate dogs trapped in the puppy mill industry go forgotten. Magmo's Puppy Mill Warriors are inspired by real life dogs from rescues, pounds, breeders and pet stores. Rescue pups may not ever be awarded "best in show" but will be some of the best friends you could ever have. Magmo hopes that the story of the Puppy Mill Warriors will help to raise awareness of the terrible puppy mill industry and save the underdogs. Artist Magmo the Destroyer of Pennsylvania
