- Hund und Katze -

_{Mensch mit traurigem Gesichte,
sprich nicht nur von Leid und Streit.
Selbst in Brehms Naturgeschichte
findet sich Barmherzigkeit.}


An illustration to the poem "Hund und Katze" ("Dog and cat") by Wilhelm Busch.

The story's about the cat Miezel and the dog Molly who are enemies. Both of them have cubs. One day, Miezel is shot down on a field and dies. Molly goes to the kittens who are hungry and alone. So she decides to take them to her place and feed them.

I already loved that poem when I was younger, it's so heart-warming and the end is really touching. I just read it again few days ago and wanted to draw something to it. It was a lot of fun to draw this.

I hope you like it
