The Dogs
At every shelter he films one dog and tells their story. Fifty-six on the route, and one before he leaves. It started with Pandora, three months before departure, and she found her family before he even left. Watching this page fill up is the whole point.

Pandora
Two years in a shelter. Four years old. Three legs. Now she has a home.
Pandora was rescued from the pound two years ago. Her front leg could not be saved. Everything else about her works: she runs, she plays, she brings the ball back.
She waited two years for someone to take her home. In September 2026 she found her family, before Samuel had even left Málaga. Thank you to every volunteer at her shelter who loved her while she waited.

Fifty-six still to come
If you follow along, you meet each dog on the day he does. This page always runs behind.
Every dog here is one Samuel stood in front of, in a shelter that exists. The first one was Pandora, in Málaga, before he left. The rest come one country at a time.

The films go out on Instagram and YouTube, and every dog lands on this page.

Follow the link on the card. It takes you to the shelter, not to us.

Take them home
If it works out, a dog who was behind a fence in the morning is asleep on your floor by the evening.
Samuel films a dog and points you at the people who look after them. Everything after that, the rules, the paperwork and the decision, happens between you and the shelter.
Two pots.
Never mixed.
There are two ways to help here, and they are kept completely separate. Nothing crosses over.
Pot one · The dogs
Money for a dog goes straight to the shelter that feeds them, through the link on their card. It never passes through our hands and we never touch a cent of it.

Pot two · The road
Every dog on this page lives somewhere Samuel still has to reach by bike. This pot buys food, beds and visas for 594 days. It is what gets him to the next shelter.
