I knew I wanted to adopt her”. Another ASPCA worker said “When Bryan saw her come off the plane, he was smitten”(“ASPCA”). This program is proven to be very helpful to a lot of people. The ASPCA does not only help dogs but they help other animals including cats, bunnies, and many more. Without the ASPCA unsafe, cruel shelters would be overflowing even more than they already are. For instance Bryan would have never found his new best friend. This organization is the ASPCA which stands for American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

I used to watch various cartoons that often included a mad scientist that would experiment on various creatures in the laboratory to enhance the creature’s physical abilities and create a mutant race to assist in their plot to destroy the world.
