Sabrina Helas, Los Angeles photographer of pets and children, along with 36 other artists from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, has contributed cat- and dog-themed artwork and photographs to the 2009 edition of Paws for Charity Art Book Project. 

Paws for Charity Art Book Project is an effort put together by Sara Harley, founder of Paws for Charity. All proceeds from the book sales go to the Avon Crusade for Breast Cancer. 
Harley originally contacted Helas to see if she would be interested in contributing to the project. “Naturally I was honored to be asked to be a part of such an amazing collaborative, and knowing that 100 percent of the proceeds were going to be donated to raise funds for breast cancer just made it so much more,” Helas says.

Each image in the book has its own story. Throughout the year, these back stories will be published on the Paws for Charity blog,PawsForCharity.Blogspot.com. On the blog you can also find information on how to submit artwork to be considered for the 2010 edition of Paws for Charity Art Book Project.
