About
We noticed. We helped. We are still learning.
Two people in the Netherlands, a dog, a phone, and a habit of stopping when something is wrong. That is the whole of it.
We are not a rescue organisation. We are not a charity. We have no shelter, no veterinary training and no van with a light on top. What we have is attention, a little time, and the willingness to make a phone call to someone who does know.
The stronger should always stand up for the weaker. Not because we are above anyone, but because we are, in that moment, the one who can do something. A person, a child, an older neighbour, a dog, a cat, a bird. The rule does not change with the species.
We film what happens because showing is more useful than telling. Someone watching will recognise the same situation one day and know a little sooner what to do. That is the entire ambition.
The third one
Ziggy
Ziggy is a Toller crossed with a Border Collie, a male. He is at every encounter except the koeten, and he stands for the thing this project is about: paying attention, and staying.
What we will not do
- We do not treat animals ourselves. We call a vet, an animal ambulance or a wildlife rescue, and we say so in the story.
- We do not name, film or shame people. If someone hurt an animal, the story is about the animal and about what to do, never about hunting a person down.
- We do not publish exact locations of wild animals or nests, and we keep private addresses out of everything.
- We do not invent an outcome. If we do not know how it ended, the story says that.
- We do not use music we are not allowed to use, and we do not use footage that is not ours.
- We do not ask for money in the middle of a story.
Next time you see something that needs help.
Look twice. Ask someone who knows. Stay until it is sorted.
