Charlie may not be an official member of the HumanKind team, but as one of our favorite four-legged supporters (and Michelle Patrick's dog), he was more than happy to share his thoughts on HumanKind's new pet collection.

What's your name and role at HumanKind, and how long have you been part of the team?

I'm Charlie! While I'm not technically on the HumanKind team, I've been a loyal supporter through my human, Michelle Patrick, and I take my role as Chief Product Tester of the new pet collection very seriously.

How would you describe your personal style or taste when it comes to fashion, home, or gifts?

I'd say my style is handsome with a side of adventurous. A colorful bandana is always appreciated, and I have excellent taste in toys, blankets, and anything that's soft enough for a nap.

What inspires your personal style or gift-giving choices?

I believe every good gift should pass one important test: Would I be excited if someone handed this to me? Bonus points if it squeaks, crinkles, or comes with treats.

What do you love most about HumanKind's new pet collection?

Finally... a collection made with dogs like me in mind! I love that the pet collection is thoughtfully made, just like everything else at HumanKind. It means my humans can spoil me while supporting artisans and fair trade around the world. That's what I call a win-win.

What makes shopping at HumanKind different from other stores?

Most stores have one lonely shelf for pets. HumanKind has products with personality and purpose. Plus, my humans always seem extra happy when they shop there... and happy humans usually mean happy dogs.
