Pugs, in particular, are such characters; they are very\nsilly and funny. I like imagining what animals might say if they could talk.\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cI knew from a young age that I wanted to draw and write for a living. I was always encouraged to draw by teachers and friends,\u201d she said. \u201cOnce I realized that I could use art as a tool to get out of PE lessons, I was even keener. At primary school, I was sometimes allowed to stay in the classroom and make posters for upcoming school events rather than put myself through the humiliation of falling over and generally being terrible at all of the sports.\u201d\n\n\n\n
