As a guy with a 3D printer I can promise you its because most of the stuff we print is useless or not that interesting to muggles haha. This is every printer owners dream job haha
As a biomedical engineer working primarily in 3D printing prostheses research, this was awesome to see. Being on the advanced side of research, their technology is not exactly cutting edge BUT I can immediately tell that their execution is awesome! The attention to details in the small areas, the lattice distribution, the design of the foot, the print quality ... All very very good. Amazing work by them and I hope I get to work on something similar as I advance in my career
the cutting-edge-ness is probably in bringing it down to a couple hundred to a thousand dollars, so normal people can afford it for their pets. it's obvious for instance how 3D printing *at all* is freeing them from the tyranny of having to work at scale when what you need is an individual fit to each dog.
@@StrangerNoises I was surprised by the price, given that it's an order of magnitude (or two) lower than most similar options for humans. Shout out to Not A Wheelchair and to the groups of people working on open source prostheses as well, they are awesome.
@@Lizlodudewell the actual cost of materials is not very much when it comes to 3D printing. Most rolls of 2KG of PLA or or PETG filament are around $20. Most 3D print jobs don't cost anywhere near the price of mold injection and tooling costs.
Potentially one of the most wholesome videos on the internet! We are blessed to live in a day and age where technology can be incorporated into healthcare for both humans and our beloved pets. Love it Marques. 😁
He posted this video 5 minutes ago you wrote this comment 3 minutes ago, its a 12 minute long video. You haven't even finished watching the video yet...
Wondering if it can be used for people as well. We have thousands of people without limbs in Ukraine because of russian shelling, and these probably cheap prostheses looks very promising.
As someone with two prosthetic legs below the knee, this one really warmed my heart. My prosthetics aren't 3D printed (yet! From my understanding, there's stuff in the works), but the pylon and attachment mechanism is exactly what I have. This video made me smile :)
Watching Cleo run with her prosthesis made me tear up. It's so heartening to know that there are people out there make lives of these animals so much better.
I’m sitting here, tears in my eyes after watching a tech video. Marques, you are truly built different. Big shoutout to 3DPets, doing huge work with a passion.
I saw the thumbnail and I immediately recognized the vests! I worked on the prototype ones for these with Dive design and cosine additive back at my first stem job! The TPU for the vests would collapse earlier on before we figured out the support settings since it’s a flexible filament. I LOVE seeing this in the wild years later, such an insane feeling and I love that they managed to keep doing this after our team finished our part. I actually printed that pink one with the chihuahua looking little guy in the picture!
I used to work for an R&D company in 3D printing and when we talked to a vet clinic for a potential collaboration for this exact kind of pet prosthetics, they told us that the dogs generally don't care if they lose 1 limb, they are perfectly happy with 3 legs. They also told us that most dogs do not accept a prosthetic limb. I'm glad to see that some dogs can live better lives because of 3D printing!
from this video, I think it's like human back problems, we didn't care about ergonomics until we start having back pains so it's future proofing these problems
@@inmydelorean6025 Lot ov vet hospitals are owned by massive corporations who only care about profit. You wouldn't know though, because they keep the original name to make it seem local. Where I live there is a vet hospital that is a co-op, and it's amazing care every time.
I love to see how people are working towards the betterment of animals so that they lead a normal life. It's really hard these days to find such enthusiastic guys working with such dedication.
Never gonna complain about more dog content from you but this is honestly next level. Would love to see more deep dives into how tech is improving lives of people!
Influencers, Take note 📝This is real brand promotion done right! 👌🏼 No paid ad vibes here. 🙅♂Whether they funded this vid or not, it feels totally genuine. That's the kind of content that sparks curiosity and gets us talking about a company. Unlike those fake Instagram ads where everything's just "amazing" 😑.
Do a little more research, and you would be ashamed by what you said. This whole project is doesnt make sense because why would you trust an easy to melt plastic to be a prosthetic limbs?
@@HeyMaruniko The 3DPets website says they print using TPU, which I wouldn't call easy to melt at all. It can withstand temperatures up to 80°C, and starts to melts in the range of 185°C - 220°C, so I'd be more worried about the dog in these temperatures than the prosthetic melting tbh.
I love that this is getting the exposure it deserves. I've started 3D Printing things for our foster dogs to help catch people's attention when we are out walking. It is amazing how useful custom 3d prints can be!
I had a Dacshound in 2001 that needed a wheelchair. Her rear legs both were paralized and a custom chair cost me $1k back in 2001. Glad there are places like 3D pets making these much more accessible for everyone.
It's beautiful. 3D printing has so much potential and those guys are really bringing them out. Even as I'm sitting in my room right now, so many people are working hard to find creative ways to apply science so they can increase the quality of life for many.
Each time I see a video featuring dogs, whether it ends good or bad, i cant help but crying because of how defenseless and loving they are. They are the best things in this world
I'm actually part of a nonprofit student organization at the University of Florida (called GRiP), that makes prosthetics like this for child-amputees. Seeing their reactions to getting a custom prosthetic for free is always great! I was asked to make one for a dog through them, but they ended up giving the project to a different team leader.
I really have no words to say other than how immensely amazing everyone is for helping all the pups. And to you for shedding light on a small company so that it may grow, and others will get involved and help.
Oh, I just loved that. I am crying. Cleo's smile, when she first put on the prosthesis is everything. How is she doing now? Let's see some action shots and her WINNING smile. I have stopped crying. She is so beautiful! (I found you from watching the video with advice from many RUclipsrs, and I liked your ENERGY.) Now, I see you have kind eyes. Thank you!
One of the most important topics you've covered. Thank you for shining light on this incredible use of 3D printing tech and alerting so many pet owners about it
It’s so cool to see content about prosthetics on this channel. I am an orthotist and prosthetist. I have pretty much converted all of my impression taking techniques over to 3D scanning. It’s amazing to see how far the technology has come in the last 13 years. I’m so thankful to work with it every day. The animals and humans that I have worked with have also noticed a difference in the end product, turn around time, and how long we are able to now keep a digital file of the mold. In the past the plaster molds could be kept for several years but take up a ton of space and tend to grow mold.
You can literally see those tiny little remaining of his missing leg trying to move and reach that 3D printed leg. That’s really wholesome video. All pets like him deserve help! Thanks Marques!
The best thing about all of this is that the more prostheses of this type are made, the more experience they will have and the more effective and ergonomic those prostheses will be. Amazing job! 👍🏾❤️
The way technology, like 3D printing, is making a positive impact on the lives of animals is just heartwarming. Good job to 3D Pets for their innovative approach and dedication. It's incredible to see the process from scanning to designing to printing, and how each step is tailored to the individual needs of the pets
What a lovely implimentation of 3D printing! So cool how easy it is for them to make new updated versions of the harnesses and feet with experience too
My Grandmothers friend's son is actually the owner of this company and I got to tour his office a week ago and I saw how the prosthetics where made its pretty cool.
I remember seeing a video years ago about a boy who gets a prosthetic arm and the company uses 3D printers and I knew that was going to be a big industry with engineers and CAD experts. I almost cried seeing all the happy pups being able to move more comfortably and seeing them look exhausted from playing is just so heart warming. Thank you for showing this
As someone who's looking into getting my dog a front leg prosthesis, thank you so much for these video! It was really informative and seeing another dog go through the process was really helpful!
I see all your videos and podcasts always looking for new tech to suit needs that I never thought I had. Today you feel my heart with joy. Thank you Marques for sharing this awesome company and guide us through the process. It’s more than tech. It’s life changing.
Our two dogs mean more to me than anything in life, I couldn’t imagine life without them. Their mobility is a gift and a joy to watch, and as a young man who had a hip replacement, it’s beautiful to watch how these animals are getting a level care and the ability to be as freely mobile as this is astounding. They don’t feel self conscious or wonder about perception, they just want to be happy, love, and be loved. Wow, I hope a greater awareness is made of this and the obvious question arises…can certain mould types (it’s 3D structure) be openly available (open source it) or are they tying to patent this?
Well, every part is unique; I'm not sure you can patent the product. You can patent the tools and techniques you used to create the products though; (software, for example.)
So happy to see Cleo living the good life now and her disability is not slowing her down one bit. This is game-changing tech to improve the lives of so many pets!
You are an incredible human being, honestly man. I've been watching you 9 years now and you always level up everything about you and your audience. So thank you man really you are a joy to watch 👏👏👏
This serves as a testament to what humanity should aspire towards. It's a remarkable example of the essence of being human, exemplifying the pinnacle of our capabilities. Such actions truly define our humanity in its finest form. you can see how passionate these good people are. Absolutely love this, I glad that such people exist. the faith in humanity is somewhat restored
This is brilliant! I love dogs and love to see how this can help so much! Thank you for bringing this company on your channel, I love it and shared with all my animal-loving friends.
I am so glad that I saved this to watch eventually. Now that I've FINALLY watched it, it's a really cool idea that has come to exist! Thank you for sharing.
this bought tears in my eyes.. thank you so much for bringing this company into light marques! it's things like these which put you in a different league compared to other influencers
I think the fact this can be done effectively with a smartphone shows that anyone could theoretically send a scan of their pet, and get a prosthesis made. As someone who only used the LiDAR scanner on my iPhone for making novelty 3D models of my stuff, this seems like a really cool application!
Love seeing something like this shown to a larger audience. At this point, a large portion of my interaction online has been with people in the 3D printing community and while I don't sell prints or similar, just an extensive hobby for me, I do have a portion of my home setup _for_ 3D printing. So the rest of this will be "oh yea, yep" for those who 3D print but hopefully useful info for those who have yet to get into it (join us... we already have printers that make chocolates and such) I love that Marques shows local stuff as it's real easy to have some boutique shop on San Francisco. that would be in half a dozen tech sites... have some VC funding or something, and then it's like... "yea, but this is $100k to get some carbon-fiber and space-grade alloy brace that will need to be replaced in a month... so only, like, movie stars use it... but it looks cool for the web article and video". Meanwhile, basically what they showed is stuff many in 3D printing community are very familiar with. Only odd-ball thing, Marques said that the company reached out to them... I wonder if they were doing a marketing push. I'm in the NYC area, not far from his studio and presumably 3D Pet. The day this dropped, a bunch of the 3D printing community reposted and and were thrilled to see it. Then I went to work... on my way, I saw some tech article about 3D printing pet prosthetics and featured a dog... Cleo. After work, as I walked around Times Square (only tourists and those forced to actually go to Times Square), I looked up and there was a billboard from Apple talking about "Pet Prosthetics using the 3D scanner on the iPhone" and it featured... Cleo. I had a moment of "are ads following me?" but opted for "this is a marketing campaign by... someone. Maybe Apple? Onto the tech, while the Anker Make M5 was mentioned, the printers shown in the b-roll were Elegoo Neptunes (I'm not keen enough to pinpoint which one, but the braces make me think Neptune 3 Max). The custom printer looks cool (and probably was made for the elephant print that was mentioned). I also saw a Snapmaker J1/J1s in one shot. There was also a resin printer (yellow cover, so probably Elegoo) I saw a cardboard spool, which is common, but the lack of impressions on the side makes me think it's a Proto-Pasta spool (it's the only one that I know that doesn't have holes in the side). I also saw at least one spool of Sain Smart filament (though I think they're a white label and don't actually make their filament). Though it looks like they are using a variety of filaments, possibly based on colors. The transparent colors and general nature of what they're doing probably means they're printing PETG (PET = soda bottle, add glycol, the G, and it makes it easier to print). The foot shown off later is 3D printed, probably some level of TPU... I'm really bad at judging shore hardness by look alone. Cura is a pretty normal slicer (turn a 3D model into layers that can be printed out by the printer) and glad to see they used gyroid infill (the best infill. Infill... the internal... filling... of the 3D print), as it can withstand stressed on all sides, unlike some other infills which are only good from one dimension... like how a soda can can support your weight until you poke the side and it collapses. I like that they're using (or intending to use) the support material in other parts so it doesn't go to waste (one of the things that hasn't been solved on the consumer side yet). This kind of process is a great demonstration, but also has been something that is becoming more and more common. The Cosplay community uses this a ton (scan a person, a head, an arm, etc. bring it into some cad program, take some costume and adjust it to their dimensions... then print the parts and post/process and paint). During covid, lots of 3D printing was being done for face shields (yes, people showed off 3D printed face masks and respirators, but those are a very different beast and even dangerous... so we tried to stay away). With the war going on, 3D printed splints and basic casts were being sent around. Joel Telling (3D Printing Nerd) has shown off 3D printed casts that can be created with a basic scan with a phone app. And e-NABLE for distributed prosthetic creation. 3D printing is seen as a toy by many, but the coffee machines used by Dunkin have 3D printed parts. Rocket companies are 3D printing parts, tools, and in some cases engines and entire bodies of rockets with 3D printing. Auto manufacturers and the aviation industry are using it more and more. General manufacturing is using it to a high degree on their manufacturing lines. I saw a case recently where an inspection camera to check product quality was mounted with a 3D printed monitor arm... yes, you can 3D print for $10-$20 or so (if you do it. If you hire someone, it will cost more), the $50+ monitor arm that is being sold on Amazon. More schools are getting them. Many libraries have them. Dentists use 3D printing a lot... in fact, "dental grade resin" for a resin 3D printer (different from the kinds Marques showed) probably predate the consumer resins we use. Search for a local community or group, they'd be more then happy to show you the ropes. Localized manufacturing is growing, and even if not for business, you can replace handles and fix hinges and similar if you have one. And may even be faster and cheaper then buying from Amazon.
Their evident passion for their work is truly inspiring, highlighting the beauty of technology merging with healthcare, benefiting both people and pets. Kudos to Marques for sharing such heartwarming content!
I love the way you introduced and talked about Cleo in the beginning of the video. You made it very clear that she's a complete, whole dog who happens to be missing a leg and not just a 3-legged dog. That she's more than what she's missing.
Of all the tech videos made by MKBHD, this one actually hit me in the feels. And it's crazy how it's not like, out of place on this channel. It works. And I'm here for it. Thanks for broadening our horizons by showing us the possibilities that are available right now.
Amazing that you took the time with Cleo to have her fitted. You may have saved her from Yeats of painful arthritis and given her a much fuller happier life. Thank you so much ❤❤
Seeing her stop and pivot on the new leg is a win. I love 3d modeling community filling the gap in accessibility market for human and there animal friends.
No way it’s a coincidence Apple drops a “Shot on iPhone” ad about this exact company using the iPhone’s LiDAR sensor to build prosthetics for dogs around the same time Marques’ video comes out. If Apple or the company reached out to you to make this video, I hope you’d be transparent about it.
Love this video! I'm sure innovations like this, when they get better and better, will help many amputee pets without a home getting adopted! Thanks for giving a shoutout to this company Marques!
Whenever they talk about their work, you can see how passionate they are. Absolutely love this, glad that such people exist.
Made me think what am i doing with my life. Amazing stuff
As a guy with a 3D printer I can promise you its because most of the stuff we print is useless or not that interesting to muggles haha. This is every printer owners dream job haha
As a biomedical engineer working primarily in 3D printing prostheses research, this was awesome to see. Being on the advanced side of research, their technology is not exactly cutting edge BUT I can immediately tell that their execution is awesome! The attention to details in the small areas, the lattice distribution, the design of the foot, the print quality ... All very very good. Amazing work by them and I hope I get to work on something similar as I advance in my career
the cutting-edge-ness is probably in bringing it down to a couple hundred to a thousand dollars, so normal people can afford it for their pets. it's obvious for instance how 3D printing *at all* is freeing them from the tyranny of having to work at scale when what you need is an individual fit to each dog.
thats so cool that your working on that
@@StrangerNoises I was surprised by the price, given that it's an order of magnitude (or two) lower than most similar options for humans.

This Is Just now getting the attention tho. There are many small companies that niched down into making 3D printable prosthetics for humans mostly
And if you live in the US it'll be $600k after insurance

Their mobility is a gift and a joy to watch, and as a young man who had a hip replacement, it’s beautiful to watch how these animals are getting a level care and the ability to be as freely mobile as this is astounding. They don’t feel self conscious or wonder about perception, they just want to be happy, love, and be loved. Wow, I hope a greater awareness is made of this and the obvious question arises…can certain mould types (it’s 3D structure) be openly available (open source it) or are they tying to patent this?
Well, every part is unique; I'm not sure you can patent the product. You can patent the tools and techniques you used to create the products though; (software, for example.)
It was refreshing to watch Marques in the backseat on this one. He's clearly a good listener and also a quick learner!
Thanks for helping this dog you are a very good person and one day God will reward you for this. Thanks for helping that precious dog!
This is why i got into 3D printing 5 years back. Thank you for promoting this technology.
At 7:30 there's the long awaited apple printer!
Also, great project- love to see these pets be happy with their gained mobility!
So happy to see Cleo living the good life now and her disability is not slowing her down one bit. This is game-changing tech to improve the lives of so many pets!
You are an incredible human being, honestly man. I've been watching you 9 years now and you always level up everything about you and your audience. So thank you man really you are a joy to watch 👏👏👏
This serves as a testament to what humanity should aspire towards. It's a remarkable example of the essence of being human, exemplifying the pinnacle of our capabilities. Such actions truly define our humanity in its finest form. you can see how passionate these good people are. Absolutely love this, I glad that such people exist. the faith in humanity is somewhat restored
THESE CREATORS ARE SUPER HEROES AND DESERVE EVERYTHING AND MORE!
This is amazing. Thanks for putting a lens on something many may not have thought to be possible. Hope Cleo’s quality of life improves tenfold. ❤
This is brilliant! I love dogs and love to see how this can help so much! Thank you for bringing this company on your channel, I love it and shared with all my animal-loving friends.
Have a nice day everyone!❤
Worth every penny regardless of cost. Enriching the lives of the pets or even for wounded people. This is what makes tech like 3d printing worth it.
I am so glad that I saved this to watch eventually. Now that I've FINALLY watched it, it's a really cool idea that has come to exist! Thank you for sharing.
this bought tears in my eyes.. thank you so much for bringing this company into light marques! it's things like these which put you in a different league compared to other influencers
I think the fact this can be done effectively with a smartphone shows that anyone could theoretically send a scan of their pet, and get a prosthesis made. As someone who only used the LiDAR scanner on my iPhone for making novelty 3D models of my stuff, this seems like a really cool application!
This squeezes my heart as a former pet parent. The unconditional love from animals is like no other. They are true soul companions. Thank you 3D Pets.
THANK YOU for covering this amazing use of 3d printing!
One of the best videos I've ever watched on RUclips
So good to see RUclipsrs like Marques branch out tech into daily life. Love it.
Love seeing something like this shown to a larger audience. At this point, a large portion of my interaction online has been with people in the 3D printing community and while I don't sell prints or similar, just an extensive hobby for me, I do have a portion of my home setup _for_ 3D printing. So the rest of this will be "oh yea, yep" for those who 3D print but hopefully useful info for those who have yet to get into it (join us... we already have printers that make chocolates and such)
I love that Marques shows local stuff as it's real easy to have some boutique shop on San Francisco. that would be in half a dozen tech sites... have some VC funding or something, and then it's like... "yea, but this is $100k to get some carbon-fiber and space-grade alloy brace that will need to be replaced in a month... so only, like, movie stars use it... but it looks cool for the web article and video". Meanwhile, basically what they showed is stuff many in 3D printing community are very familiar with. Only odd-ball thing, Marques said that the company reached out to them... I wonder if they were doing a marketing push. I'm in the NYC area, not far from his studio and presumably 3D Pet. The day this dropped, a bunch of the 3D printing community reposted and and were thrilled to see it. Then I went to work... on my way, I saw some tech article about 3D printing pet prosthetics and featured a dog... Cleo. After work, as I walked around Times Square (only tourists and those forced to actually go to Times Square), I looked up and there was a billboard from Apple talking about "Pet Prosthetics using the 3D scanner on the iPhone" and it featured... Cleo. I had a moment of "are ads following me?" but opted for "this is a marketing campaign by... someone. Maybe Apple?
Onto the tech, while the Anker Make M5 was mentioned, the printers shown in the b-roll were Elegoo Neptunes (I'm not keen enough to pinpoint which one, but the braces make me think Neptune 3 Max). The custom printer looks cool (and probably was made for the elephant print that was mentioned). I also saw a Snapmaker J1/J1s in one shot. There was also a resin printer (yellow cover, so probably Elegoo)
I saw a cardboard spool, which is common, but the lack of impressions on the side makes me think it's a Proto-Pasta spool (it's the only one that I know that doesn't have holes in the side). I also saw at least one spool of Sain Smart filament (though I think they're a white label and don't actually make their filament). Though it looks like they are using a variety of filaments, possibly based on colors. The transparent colors and general nature of what they're doing probably means they're printing PETG (PET = soda bottle, add glycol, the G, and it makes it easier to print). The foot shown off later is 3D printed, probably some level of TPU... I'm really bad at judging shore hardness by look alone.
Cura is a pretty normal slicer (turn a 3D model into layers that can be printed out by the printer) and glad to see they used gyroid infill (the best infill. Infill... the internal... filling... of the 3D print), as it can withstand stressed on all sides, unlike some other infills which are only good from one dimension... like how a soda can can support your weight until you poke the side and it collapses.
I like that they're using (or intending to use) the support material in other parts so it doesn't go to waste (one of the things that hasn't been solved on the consumer side yet).
This kind of process is a great demonstration, but also has been something that is becoming more and more common. The Cosplay community uses this a ton (scan a person, a head, an arm, etc. bring it into some cad program, take some costume and adjust it to their dimensions... then print the parts and post/process and paint). During covid, lots of 3D printing was being done for face shields (yes, people showed off 3D printed face masks and respirators, but those are a very different beast and even dangerous... so we tried to stay away). With the war going on, 3D printed splints and basic casts were being sent around. Joel Telling (3D Printing Nerd) has shown off 3D printed casts that can be created with a basic scan with a phone app. And e-NABLE for distributed prosthetic creation.
3D printing is seen as a toy by many, but the coffee machines used by Dunkin have 3D printed parts. Rocket companies are 3D printing parts, tools, and in some cases engines and entire bodies of rockets with 3D printing. Auto manufacturers and the aviation industry are using it more and more. General manufacturing is using it to a high degree on their manufacturing lines. I saw a case recently where an inspection camera to check product quality was mounted with a 3D printed monitor arm... yes, you can 3D print for $10-$20 or so (if you do it. If you hire someone, it will cost more), the $50+ monitor arm that is being sold on Amazon. More schools are getting them. Many libraries have them.
Dentists use 3D printing a lot... in fact, "dental grade resin" for a resin 3D printer (different from the kinds Marques showed) probably predate the consumer resins we use.
Search for a local community or group, they'd be more then happy to show you the ropes. Localized manufacturing is growing, and even if not for business, you can replace handles and fix hinges and similar if you have one. And may even be faster and cheaper then buying from Amazon.
This is really awesome! I did a 3D printing project in Grad School, but this shows how the tech can have real world use cases. Awesome video!
Their evident passion for their work is truly inspiring, highlighting the beauty of technology merging with healthcare, benefiting both people and pets. Kudos to Marques for sharing such heartwarming content!
I don't know why this video made me tear 😢up. I have a soft spot for animals. I'm so happy for Cleo.
I love the way you introduced and talked about Cleo in the beginning of the video. You made it very clear that she's a complete, whole dog who happens to be missing a leg and not just a 3-legged dog. That she's more than what she's missing.
Yes! I had this same thought.
You can see it in her eyes, Cleo is more self-actualized than most people even with her situation.
So you inspired Apple to do a commercial about disabled dogs and 3d printing?
Of all the tech videos made by MKBHD, this one actually hit me in the feels. And it's crazy how it's not like, out of place on this channel. It works. And I'm here for it. Thanks for broadening our horizons by showing us the possibilities that are available right now.
Amazing that you took the time with Cleo to have her fitted. You may have saved her from Yeats of painful arthritis and given her a much fuller happier life. Thank you so much ❤❤
apple and marques just uploaded the same video on the same topic at the same time.
Ayo WHAT
"This company uses an iPhone to scan". Probably some kind of preview/marketing embargo on the product that just lifted
No way!
What do you mean?
About the same thing, same company
Thank you for using your platform to bring light to this!
So heartwarming ❤️
Seeing her stop and pivot on the new leg is a win. I love 3d modeling community filling the gap in accessibility market for human and there animal friends.
Just a little bit of faith in humanity is restored. People helping animals are awesome in my book!
This is actually how the tech should be used 💚
No way it’s a coincidence Apple drops a “Shot on iPhone” ad about this exact company using the iPhone’s LiDAR sensor to build prosthetics for dogs around the same time Marques’ video comes out. If Apple or the company reached out to you to make this video, I hope you’d be transparent about it.
Love this video! I'm sure innovations like this, when they get better and better, will help many amputee pets without a home getting adopted! Thanks for giving a shoutout to this company Marques!
This video solidified my love for you even more…. Bless you
THIS is what sets him apart. Awesome vid Marques!
Well done Marcus for using your channel for choosing this important topic and it's direction for helping those animals without voices.
