The care, respect and compassion with all the realms of nature are the impulses that must lead the human being in their actions.

In the central idea that was passed by José Trigueirinho Netto in 2013, the spiritualist philosopher and one of the founders of the Fraternidade – International Humanitarian Federation – FFHI, demonstrated his concern for the health and well-being of the dogs, since they have the tendency to develop tartar and bad breath due to the accumulation of bacteria in the mouth.

Thinking of that, Trigueirinho asked the animal care sector of Figueira Light-Community-Luz, affiliated with FFHI, to develop a cookie for the dogs.

Motivated by this intention, the team initiated a research for the elaboration of a vegan cookie for the animals. The challenge consisted of developing the recipe for a cookie that would be hard enough to help clean the teeth and at the same time nutritious and tasty.

With much dedication and love, after countless attempts and essays for almost a year, the group presented in 2014 the vegan canine cookies. The recipe takes carrot and beet as the main ingredients. “It was a success among our dogs, who began to receive this delight of the canine palate”-reports mariandja, missionary of FFHI who participates since the beginning of the cookie elaboration process in Figueira Light-Community.

About 1000 biscuits are produced monthly with the help of Fraternidade’s missionaries. Currently the team is guided by the collaborator Pascoal morgensztern, creator of the recipe. 73 Dogs are benefited by the initiative. Each animal receives on average five biscuits per week. The distribution is made in pouches of denim fabric, which have been carefully sew for this purpose.

All tutors report the joy with which their dogs receive this delicious food, made with so much affection and joy. This is a special moment. “In the continuous exercise of radiating love, thus diminishing the chronic indifference of mankind before the suffering animal Kingdom, we celebrate with joy the five years of canine vegan cookie production. We are happy to sustain this task in response to the loving request of our instructor Trigueirinho: ‘let us have a soul full of compassion for the life that the Animal kingdom develops here on earth’, “says Mariandja.
