Best bark about Tanzania: The cock-tails!

Worst Woof about Tanzania: Woofing good bye to my private jet!

If you think I was woofing off to get a tan, you’d be woofing mad! Without one shelter on the entire island, it was anything but a woof in the park! I met up with ZESPA treasurer, Mr Khamis Kombo Haji to check out people’s attitudes and to visit a few places of special woofing interest. Well, if Ndola presented me with everyone charging to lick my nose, Zanzibar was the opposite. Muslim children think that I’m a biter and a dirty sniffer, but I think I helped to change some of their minds! I popped in at school of Unguja Ukuu, and later wagged into the Kibele School. One of the little girls from the Friends of Animals Club welcomed me in the perfect English. It was wonderful! I handed out collars and told them to show compassion and kindness to the dogs in the island – and let’s not forget about sterilization! That leads me to my visit at Dunga Kiembeni Village. I met a few very tall men – and between them they own a whopping 50 dogs! Just one pair of unsterilized dogs and their offspring can produce as much as 67 000 dogs in just 6 years. They were very interested why they should sterilize. I asked them if they would consider having 50 children, and to my amusement, they wish they could have that many! Can you imagine what this forest will look like in 6 years? Let’s hope they heard me barking!

The Best Bark of Zanzibar: Sailing on a traditional ‘Dow’
The Worst Yelp in Zanzibar : Rain in paradise

A really big bark of thanks to Simon Maitland of Crown Relocations Tanzania Limited as well as the King at Teddy Junior Limited. Besides the good banter, you guys kept me legal and that’s appreciated! To Natashja and her fab team at Fumba Beach Lodge, wow, those views could almost keep me from moving along with my Tour! I’ll be back… when all the dogs I meat are adopted! To the carte Blanche team who flew up to hear me bark more about my message – don’t forget the photoshop…I didn’t have time to shave… And lastly, this was our last stop in my fancy charter plane! Yip Yap to my Top Dog Captains, James Franklin and Cobus van Staden – Gosh guys, I’m really going to miss my front seat in the smoothest ride in the sky!!

Kenya here I come!
