Rescuing wild beasts (all pets were rescued) such as baby birds and squirrels to care for and then released when better is a springtime ritual. This store is named for Mr. Sal Phan, Bichon w/ a tan. He got the nickname since he beamed so much affection to everyone.

The McLovebuddy brand has very strong influences from art/painting, design, and classic camping and outdoors gear - hence the well built bags and accessories that possess a bit of the fantastical w/ affection.
