This 9-year-old boy paints pictures of cats and dogs in exchange for abandoned pet food from a hometown shelter.
He is 9 years old, his name is Pavel Abramov and he is a very good painter. His specialty? Portraits of cats and dogs that already make him a lot of money, or rather a lot of food. Yes, because Pavel he sells and exchanges his paintings for food and provisions intended for dogs and cats kept in the shelter of his city, where he is the youngest volunteer.
Pavel lives in Arzamas, Russia, and began to devote himself to this initiative about a year ago, after the loss of his dog Barsik which particularly affected him, causing him to do something good for animals in need.
Before setting out to work, Pavel tries to spend some time with the animals to be portrayed and their owners, listens to their moving stories, then paints them to collect donations for those less fortunate. And they liked it so much that his paintings have already started traveling around the world.

His mother helped him to open some social pages to make his work known, including an Instagram profile, in the hope that his charity initiative will allow him to obtain more and more donations.

And on Russian social media, VK, mom and son ran a group called "What is a little volunteer capable of?", To show that even a little man like Pavel can make a difference, encouraging others to follow suit. Because to be generous you don't need big business or who knows how much money, good will and a pinch of creativity are enough.
Pavel demonstrates this, who has no organizations behind him, no money and various funds, but only a big heart and a great talent!
