A staunch animal lover, 12-years-old Anya was increasingly upset to see that the strays in the neighborhood were starving and that many pet owners in Mumbai were abandoning their pets on the street. She decided she would use her art skills to generate funds for her pet mission and started making sketches of pets, in return for nominal donations that would go towards feeding the hungry animals on the streets. Help poured in quickly, with her mothers friends sending pictures of their pets and Anya diligently spending hours, even on weekends, sketching quirky, cute images of the dogs and cats and posters that sought to bust the myth that pet animals can spread the dreaded virus. all the money she raised was given to small groups that work in the neighborhood personally feeding and taking care of the animals.
