There are 600 million woofs in this world. 125 million have it yappy; the rest have it ruff. I know what it’s like to live the ruff side of life when it’s all yelp with no help. You see, I was born an innocent victim of pet over-population. Homelessness is an exercise in unbearable suffering. You feel like a dog. With a bit of luck your tail may wind up at animal shelter. There you sit. You stay. You wait to be wanted. You know that you would make the best friend that money could never buy; but that’s not anything to wag home about.

Inside here, just like out there, no one really knows how special you are. Chances are they never will. You’ll be destroyed before they ever know you better.

That's where this tale was supposed to end. I was destined to be destroyed in a shelter. That's when I made a vow to myself and to all my friends facing a frightful fate that if I were to defy the odds and make it out of that cage alive one day, I would invest every single ounce of pooch passion and mutt muscle into showing the world just how cool pound hounds really are I promised to do whatever it would take to get loving homes going to the dogs - even if it meant doing what no other paws had ever done before in the name of destitute dog-kind!

With a scratch of fate and a lick of luck, I got a new leash on life. The World Woof Tour was my answer to that promise I made to my friends I left behind and the 475 million homeless dogs that are still dying for a place to call ‘home’.

TheWorld Woof Tour was all about making one big, unified bark for my friends – the homeless hounds that yelp for help and a home around the world. My tour was about showing the world just how cool pound hounds really are.

Over 30 countries were on my hit list. I flew, swam, sniffed, walked, scratched, drove and even hang glided to over 60 organizations who work their woof off to support, uplift, encourage and better the life for dogs in their districts. Together, we created exciting and interesting events to draw positive attention for dog adoption with the global goal of getting doors opening for dogs.
