  2. what a wonderful feature!! i loved seeing so many adorable eco-friendly pet print items, esp ones like the flats since i've been seeing those everywhere but know they're likely made in questionable working conditions/materials, etc. the dogs dont dump you tee also made me laugh. Really loved this, off to check out a bunch of these now!
