The title says it all for this one.

Forty pictures of guys so hot they had to remove their shirts sidled up to little fluffy animals: puppies, kitties, bunnies, ducklings, chicks, kids and lambs. There is a wide range of man-flesh represented as well, from beefcake to skinny, and some are as cute as the babies they cuddle. There are humorous comments about each couple that run from insightful, "Mark thinks people like him because he has a great smile. Sadie Belle thinks people like Mark because he has Sadie Belle", to tasteless, "David likes to watch the sunset after a big day. Mr. Chips likes to watch the sunset after a big poop". But never fear! The pictures alone are worth the purchase.

There is a pitch on the product website to consider making your next adoption a rescue, and a portion of the proceeds for all of the products on the site go to benefit nonprofit animal rescues, like the SPCA. A word of advice to the authors though; if you are trying to encourage adoptions, you shouldn't mention "puppies" and "poop" on the same page anymore. Let them find out on their own.
