Documentary: Life in the Doghouse

Documentary: Life in the Doghouse

Posted on August 12, 2019January 24, 2023

It’s holiday season and that means reading a lot of books and watching a lot of documentaries for me personally. I love both! Last week I shared a book so today it is time for a documentary I think you should see. This one is one that will make you smile from ear to ear, it’s mostly positive! It’s about a dream life I think, a life in which others are helped and I think that’s the most beautiful and meaningful life. I’ll tell you more about the documentary Life in the Doghouse.

Personal dream

I love spending my days helping others. That’s why I’m vegan, that’s why I volunteer every now and then. I have even started a package free webshop so that I help others every single day. Okay, this sound like bragging. But what I am trying to say is that helping others is very important to me, it makes me happy. And I think every person could experience that, since I believe deep down we are all compassionate. I hope to persue a career in what I’ll study, environment and resource management. I hope I can do good with that.

But you might have noticed on this blog that I have more dreams. Making a living from my package free webshop, having a small farm and also: saving animals. I’ve mentioned Sofie Senden before. She does that already with her sanctuary. But today I want to share another story like hers. These people are out there!

Life in the Dog House

This story is about Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta. They’re a couple who have a dog house. Well, it used to be their house. But then, hurricane Katrina came by. During and after that disaster they started saving dogs. Some owners had died in the hurricane or fled and left their dog. Danny and Ron started taking them into their house to let them rehabilitate and put them up for adoption.

And after Katrina they just kept going. They visit assilums, catch street dogs, they help any dog. In America lots of dogs are killed in assilums because there are just too many. Today Danny and Ron have saved over 10,000 dogs and keep going. They take in dogs that need help, give them a loving and happy home and if they find a good family that wants to adopt they place the dog with them. They literally own a house full of dogs, it’s basically the happiest thing ever.

Documentaries can be hard to watch. This one has a hard side to it as well. But, if you want to feel good you should watch it. There are amazing people in this world and this documentary shows that. You can watch Life in the Dog House on Netflix.

Have you seen the documentary Life in the Doghouse?

Yours sincerely,
Romee

ABOUT ME

 

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Eén van mijn favoriete vegan snacks, bij de Lidl tijdens de Griekse week 🇬🇷. Op dit moment is plantaardig eten nog niet de norm in Nederland, helaas. Daarom hebben veel mensen dan ook geen idee wat veganisten eten. Om die reden heb ik de afgelopen week weer eens een eetdagboek bijgehouden, want wat eet ik nou als veganist gedurende de week? Je leest het nu in mijn vegan food diary via de link in mijn bio 🥭. #plantaardig #veganfood #dagboek Verpakkingsvrij wasmiddel kopen, dat hoeft niet moeilijk te zijn! In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik dat doe 🧺. Volg mijn account voor meer duurzame tips. Elke maand doneer ik ongeveer 7% van mijn inkomen aan goede doelen, omdat ik dat zie als enorm belangrijk en het juiste ding om te doen 💸. Maar daarmee komt de vraag op: geloof ik dat goede doelen het antwoord zijn op alle grote problemen van onze tijd? Oftewel: is geld doneren de oplossing? Over die vraag én het antwoord schreef ik een uitgebreid artikel die vandaag online staat, de link vind je in mijn bio. #goeddoel #doneren #blog Vegan pizza tonno, hmmmm. Dacht je dat vegans geen tonijnpizza kunnen eten? Think again! 🐟 Een hele tijd geleden schreef ik een artikel over e-mail activisme: een vorm van activisme die je thuis op de bank kan doen. Vandaag deel ik graag een geslaagd voorbeeld daarvan met jullie ✨. Vandaag staat er een documentaire-tip op mijn blog. Disclosure, een documentaire over de representatie van transgender personen in de media 📽. Echt een must-see, want wat wij hebben als cis-gender personen nog een hoop te leren. Lees meer over de documentaire via de link in mijn bio. #disclosure #documentaire #transgender Vandaag deel 2 van de vegan hotspots in Londen 🧆. Wat heb ik lekker gegeten daar, niet te doen! Bubala was mijn absolute favoriet, dus als je iets moet kiezen, kies Bubala. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel over treinreizen naar Londen op mijn blog. Aanvullend daarop verscheen er vandaag een artikel over een ander aspect van duurzaam reizen: het eten. Lees nu het artikel met mijn favoriete veganistische restaurants in Londen nu via de link in mijn bio 🌮. #veganfood #veganlondon #veganrestaurants
