You hear them before you see them.

Little sounds

Listen for the pa-dum

Every animal has a sound that means “I’m here”. Point at a moment, or tap it, to hear what we mean.

“Paw” is the gentle imprint they leave on our hearts. “Dumi” is the cherished, personal love they hold. Together, a bond as bright as a comet’s glowing halo.

Photo tips

The photo makes the piece

You don’t need a professional shot. You need one where you can almost hear them.

  • Soft daylight from a window or an open door
  • Camera down at their eye level, both eyes visible
  • The original file, not a screenshot
