Did you ever question everything? I do.

I was sitting in the beach just after sunrise this morning with my 2 dogs and I came across a man taking his buffalo swimming and bathing him. He loved that animal and the 2 of them had a deep bond as they spent 30 minutes in the water. He has the same bond I had with Hank and Chance beside me.

It’s my favorite time of the week. Most people are hungover in bed. The tourists aren’t up yet. After working all week I give myself 30 minutes to think before the dog madness continues.

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit down looking at the world. Everything seems to be about money. Every human is trying to amass power, wealth or fame at the expense of everything else. People don’t even look at each other any more instead preferring their phones. Image and status is everything. The world seems driven by anger, consumption and a total disregard for others. We’ve crossed the rubicon in many worrying areas globally as a society.

I think I’m just at the sharp end of it in Samui as the island gets taken over by tourists and people building villas. I see everything tossed out from rubbish and local customs to the dogs I try to help. Humans care so little for the world we live in and it’s really starting to show.

My mission is to help the world’s street dogs and I’ll need to use the technology, capital and systems of the modern world to do that but it pains me to live in that world. I’ll only do it for the sake of the street dogs. AI is 100% taking most of the jobs no matter what anybody says, the wealth divide is growing and the unfortunate creatures like the dogs will continue to suffer most.

As I sat watching the man washing his buffalo and the sun rising I just longed for a simpler life. A life where humans and animals lived together peacefully and respected the land rather than chasing meaningless paper wealth and fake status.

All I can try and do is build a small corner of kindness and compassion with wonderful people to help as many dogs as possible. No matter how helpless some of us feel in life the street dogs really have no voice and very few humans on their side.

Be kind to each other ❤️

Absolutely no class from Mayo GAA. Totally insensitive to Kevin McStay who served the county since he was a teenager.I wonder if #Mayo sponsors stand over the tone and language used in dumping a group,who admittedly failed to win an All-Ireland - like every predecessor since 1951
