Art from the heart

When five-year-old Elliot Phillips-Hallock heard that the Idaho Humane Society needed pet food, she wanted to help. Elliot loves both animals and painting, so she merged her two passions and created 50 paintings in a few days. Her mother posted photos of the paintings on social media, along with a suggested donation of $5 per piece. The youngster raised more than $900, and when they went shopping for pet food, the store gave Elliot an additional $100 in supplies to be given to the shelter.
