Illustration Of Steve Irwin Welcoming Animals Into Heaven Hits Hard

Aussie artist named Sharnia-Mae Sturm shared a touching illustration on New Year's Eve as news of Australia's bushfire crisis broke around the world. She came up with the idea while thinking about all the animals that have passed away and suddenly realized they'd all be safe in the loving arms of Steve Irwin. After all, Steve and his family were always ones to stand by the animals and are continuing his legacy by saving over 90,000 animals so far. People were moved by the cartoon with many saying it brought them to tears.

    Text - abby_toir This makes me cry every time I see it. You could make prints of this to raise money to give to one on the charities trying to help out the animals? I'd buy at least two
