Your Furry, Feathery, Hoofed & Finny Friends

Hi, my name is Marco Schneider and my nickname is London. That's why my dog's name is Brixton heißt. Brixton is the most relaxed dog I have met so far. He has a heart of gold.

Das hier ist Lovika. Sein Name bedeutet “Liebe auf den ersten Blick.” Er wurde mit einer Augenlid-Agenesie geboren, deshalb sieht er so hübsch aus! Liebe Grüße, Shelby Darden

Mein Hund Carlo und Taube Ludwig. Lieber Gruß von Bettina aus Stuttgart nach Italien. PS: mein Sohn ist jetzt 23j und ich soll dir sagen: Deine wunderbaren großartigen Geschichten haben ihn zu jeder Zeit wunderbar begleitet und bereichert.

Martina's Siberian huskies Chronos and Athena.

This is Benji, our family dog and general counsel at OHP (One Health Partners therapy dog program). @ohpbenji and @ohptherapydogs. One of our missions esp through One Health Partners therapy dog program is to promote understanding/ appreciation of the human-animal bond and to leverage that understanding for social good. We partner with childrens hospitals, a childrens hospice, schools, colleges, universities, other not for profit community centres etc.. Thank you for all the beauty and thoughtfulness you add to the world. warmest regards, Heidi, founder of One Health Partners. We are based in Toronto, Canada

This is Pebbles, 15 years old... Best, Nicole

Hello, here you can see Teeny and Tabs, two rescue cats from the shelter, which were quite wild and shy at first, but (also due to the pandemic, because they always had some company) now are cuddly and trusting companions. All the very best from Scotland, Hannah

Hello Ms. Funke, here is a picture of my English Golden Retriever, Hana! Divya Grace Benjamin

Dear Cornelia, this is Millie. She spent four years as a street dog in Spain, before she came to us. She had so many fears, but she is slowly coming out of her shell. Such a gentle soul. Warmest wishes! Nina & Millie

I am Angie, Cornelia's assistant in LA. And this is my cutie Princess Leia. She is half Poodle half Jack Russell. They call this mix a Jackapoo! She is a very sweet and loving doggy. She is very mischevious though. We can't leave food on the table and walk away. She will steal it! When she goes outside to play and wants to come back in, she let's us know by jumping up and down at the door with a window over and over again until we notice a little dog head popping up over and over again in the window.

Hi! This is my sweet cat Lovie. She is a Maine Coon and a real cat of prey, as you can see. (-: Best, Jeannine

Cornelia's dogs Jake and Tabby.

This is my piggy Leila. Best! Flora

Dear Cornelia, dear Insa, these are my cats Ron (orange-tabby) and his sister Ginny (gray-tabby). They love to be up high, to jump on wardrobes, shelves and blinds. On the picture, you see Ginny sitting behind my "Funke book collection" :) Best, Yelka

Hi, Insa! These are my 3 pet ladybirds, Heather, Pine, and Spruce! Best, Grace

This is Gwyn, he's not a marten but a ferret. Because of your books I'm learning German. Best! Camille

This is Baloo, the chubby chum of Freddie. You will find Freddie here in our gallery, too. They are both Cornelia's daughter Anna's tomcats. Anna adopted Freddie in January 2018 from the Pounce Cat Cafe in Charleston. Later in May, she adopted the white giant Baloo.

Hi everyone! I would like to share with Cornelia, you guys and the rest of the world this picture of my dog Keiser. Keiser lived a lot of adventures including chase squirrels, bother horses, being persecuted by a turkey and jump into a lake full of frogs. Greetings from a reader in México! Karen Serrano, 24 y/o.

Hi. I'm Erika from Germany and I'm 11 years old. These two are my duckies Otti and Lotti. They spend the whole day waddling around. Unfortunately they are quite jumpy. Best, Erika

This is my bunny George. I read Dragon Rider to him and I'm quite sure he liked it :) Best, Chiara

Dear Cornelia, these are my cats Neza and Navan. Neza got her name from an article about my other favourite animals (mountain gorillas), and Navan is a town on the east coast of Ireland. It's not always as harmonious as on the picture. There's also quarrel sometimes. It's a pleasurable feeling to have them around :) Best, Christiane Fischer

Matthes' guinea pigs Harry and Eddi

This is my gentle furry friend Cheeky. The picture was taken about a year ago. It is the cutest photo I could find of her. Best, Lisa

Hi Cornelia, here is a picture of my Australian Cattle Dog Stella Bea outside resting. I was hoping you could put this picture of her on your website. And can it say "My greatest thing in my life is my Australian cattle dog Stella Bea"? From your fan, Cassidy Smart

I LOVE your books. All of them. My favorite characters (out of all the books) are probably Scipio, Dustfinger, Sorrel, and Fox. And Capricorn, because he's just plain cool (even if he is evil). Of course, everyone else is pretty darn awesome, too! I would like you to put this picture of Reginald, my turtle, on your website, please. Regi is rather small, and not very friendly, but he's cool to watch swim. We also have another cat, Sam, three guinea pigs, a goat, and a bunch of chickens( who are on strike and have stopped laying eggs). Thank you for sharing your talent with people, and I can't wait to read your next book! Sincerely, Lydia Smith

Hi Cornelia, this is my rat Lucy. She is sweet and dreamy and loves to sleep on my lap. She is Nelly's sister (you find Nelly in this gallery, too). Best from Dresden/Germany, Sina

My gentle cat „Sammy“ sitting on my desk, watching me while working on my bachelor's thesis about Cornelia :) Best, Melanie and Sammy

Seven years ago, Merle came to me through a wormhole. My computer had not been working for 28 days. On day 21 I suddenly was able to go online, checked a pet adoption website and there she was - 6 months of age, 4 previous owners. The my screen turned black again. Today Merle is a happy dog, finding my glasses in our apple orchard, separating trash, and accompanying anxious dogs to the vet. Best regards from the Baltic Sea! Sabine Eschenbach

Many of you tell us about your dogs, cats, horses .... We have heard stories about rabbits, cockatiels, owls, turtles, or guppies. That gave us the idea of opening a gallery for your four-legged, beaked, and scaley pals. So, enjoy browsing our Fury-Pluto-Garfield-Tweety-Gallery!
