The U.S. Postal Service continues its popular Love series with two new stamps, one featuring a kitten and the other a puppy.
The stamp art was painted with oils on wood panel, then scanned and edited digitally to create the final images.
Cats and dogs are two of America's favorite pets, and it is no surprise that connecting with pets has benefits. They provide companionship and love; interacting with a cuddly kitten or a playful puppy can reduce loneliness and elevate mood. Some studies have even shown that pets might also be responsible for lower blood pressure, improved heart health, and a decrease in stress.
The Love stamps are being issued as Forever stamps in panes of 20. These Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.
