Good evening friends.

Being that its still Poppy Tuesday, I figured to share the story behind this picture.  Sammy & Family was very focused on showing him as much love as possible.  This was a bottoms up approach.

I remember when Vanessa was taking this picture, what was going through my head.  I was having intense thoughts with the universe about how untouchable Patrick would be for the rest of his life.  It was a declaration that my boy was guaranteed endless love and care, until the very end.  That was two years ago, and those thoughts remain stronger than ever.

There are over 250,000 stray dogs in Puerto Rico alone.  If every one of them was given a home, they could be built up just like Patrick.  All of their lives matter a great deal to Sammy & Family.  Our 5 dogs are no more important than those 250k homeless dogs. They just got luckier.  Life can be so random. Sometimes it seems like its a coin toss if an animal gets a good life or not.

Life is a gift and has incredible attributes to it. From a personal perspective, Dr. Harp Seal cannot feel the full joys of life, without the participation of all animals all over the world. This land is their land, this land is our land, this land is made for them and us.  The fruits of the earth are plentiful enough for every specie to live with safety, freedom and joy.

I have spoken to a gentleman recently who takes people to the ice sheets in Canada, to get up close and personal with Harp Seals.  As you all know I don’t travel, but the harp seals warrant the trip. As soon as I can make that happen, I will be broadcasting the experience to share will all of you. The plight of the Harp Seals inspired much of what Sammy & Family has been doing the past couple of years.

Dr. Harp Seal is a symbol for animal kindness across all species.  “Animal Equality is a tireless journey. There will be no retreat”

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed.  Dr. Harp Seal, for Sammy & Family.
