Heidi loves animals and the most painful thing for her is to see a rabid animal running riot and threatening innocent people. It is a tragedy for all concerned and Heidi has long been agonizing over these cases. Again, she LOVES animals! Although she personally does not have the time to own or care for an animal, it is pure torture for her to read articles and see clips of animals infected with rabies thrashing around and being poked with sticks. The problem is that these animals WILL NOT go off on their own and die. A rabid raccoon or squirrel driven mad by this disease can easily chew through a screen door and invade an otherwise peaceful home!!! Or hide in the backseat of a car waiting to attack the unsuspecting driver. This shouldn’t be happening and Heidi knows this. She is going to be writing and illustrating a COMIC BOOK to help make young kids and senior citizens more aware of the dangers they face when confronted with rabid animals. By nature, most children and geriatrics trust cute animals IMPLICITLY. By creating the beloved character Foamy the Rabid Raccoon, and employing him in her comic book, Heidi is doing a great service to the people of rural areas and even suburban areas that have encroached on wildlife habitats. Foamy will teach, through words and song, that it is DANGEROUS to touch or try to pet an infected animal. We should all be thankful to Heidi for creating him!!!!
