15 Perfectly Imperfect Animal Pictures by Alex Cearns That are Pure Love

Is there anyone who doesn’t love animals? I am not talking about wild animals that look terrifying and can eat human beings. But about pet animals that are the best companions.

Stray animals could always be struggling when it comes to finding a home. They wait for long, but hardly get to spend a good time with a loving family. A 12-year-old-boy from New Jersey took an initiative to help these animals to get adopted much faster. He creates stylish bow ties for four-legged cats and dogs to attract the attention of owners.

It doesn’t matter whether you have a pet or giving shelter to stray animals; every living creature is born to be loved and cared for. But sometimes, these pets are rarely adopted due to their defects. For instance, some dogs don’t have one eye or are born with deformed legs.

People find them cute, but do not adopt them. To change this thinking, photographer Alex Cearns captured several pictures of disabled cats and dogs in a way that nobody could resist their innocence and sweetness.

A dog with three legs is also as cute as a dog with four legs; he only needs somebody to adopt him. Handicapped animals are loveable, but unfortunately, they do not get the same attention from adopters. The photographer Cearns' perfect pictures of imperfect animals prove that beauty lies within.

She said,

“One of my most passionate aims as an animal photographer is to capture the adorable subtleties that make all creatures precious and unique.”

She further added,

“The tenacity of animals to overcome adversity never ceases to amaze me. They make the most out of life, and from them, I have learned so much about seeing the positive.”

Final Words

Even if your efforts are small, it means the world to stray animals. This was proved by a Brazilian man who started using old and unused tires to create a comfy bed for stray animals.
