It is so natural for children to want to hug something they love, carry it with them, squeeze it, play with it, pull its nose and do all sorts of antics. In Hugs and Kisses, Zolan shows a tender moment of a child hugging her little puppy with all her heart and soul. Zolan said, “I really wanted to capture the feeling of love, warmth, closeness and trust between the little girl and her puppy. It was the same feeling that I had as a child with my dog Skipper, always loving, always to be trusted and always there waiting for me.”
