Eamon and I have been lucky enough to travel to Mexico in our van since 2018 and we've always been so sad to see the struggling stray dogs and puppies on the streets. We even fostered a sick puppy from Baja in 2019 and drove him back up to Canada where he's happily lived in his furever home for the last 4 years. So, when we met Alex and he said it was his dream to start a dog rescue here in Baja we knew we needed to help! 🐶 🐕 🐩

    So amazing to see this work being put in.
  • As a fellow mexican my country is beautiful but we lack empathy for animals so thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️
  • I work at a homeless shelter for kids, and I love what you guys are doing for the doggies. Everyone has their calling. Pick one. There are many. Not everyone has to do what I do, and I don't have to rescue puppies. Just do good!

    I almost stopped watching this episode because I was crying about those poor puppies, but I thought “wait a minute, this is Eamon & Bec, it’s bound to have a happy ending” and you did not disappoint. What a wonderful project!! Cheers to a successful CBD!
  • @rockykanaka
    WOW the heart and passion that went into this is amazing. ❤🐶 I know first hand how much energy this takes physically and emotionally and can't say enough how awesome you all are. Thank you everyone involved in this and keep up the great work 💪
  • @anakhanair_
    I dont understand how anyone can be angry about you guys establishing a dog shelter, they are in such vulnerable conditions. Thank you for contributing. ❤️Take care
  • You're wonderful humans. I've spent a lot of time in Baja and the sick and injured strays are heartbreaking. It's amazing, not only to see how much you're helping the dogs, but to see you bring together others from the community, to accomplish a shared dream. We need more of this in our world :)
  • Projects like these heal the human heart in ways the world can not touch, from the people that volunteer to build the project to the people that get to adopt the little joy full souls you rescue. Believe me u are doing more for humanity that any finger gangster can understand. Love u guys so much💗
  • Aside from Bec announcing she was cancer free; this is the most emotional and best video you have produced. The dogs are so precious, the community support, the beautiful cafe. WOW! You guys have out done yourselves. Oh, and a shout out to Bob, it was great seeing you. I hope to see more of you in future videos!
  • @kingingit
    This was just amazing guys. To turn all of that around in 30 days - we were rooting for you! 🎉 Your hearts are so SO big. It’s one of the main things we love about you. Couldn’t help but she’d a little tear when you opened. We’re so proud of you AND your incredible team! - each and everyone of you - You’ve saved those dogs lives and many many more to come. THANK YOU ❤
  • @miaowens337
    It breaks my heart seeing all these dogs being abandoned and abused in this video for me there was a lot of tears and a lot of happiness so I just want to say thank you for caring love y’all and no one I mean no one deserves to say something rude about this people need to picture themselves as the dog that is abused and abandoned and starving ❤
  • I sat on my couch with my 5 month old puppy asleep on my chest SOBBING through this whole thing. I immediately went to buy a shirt and they're sold out (which makes me so happy!) Thank you for being the beautiful humans you are and for doing something so beautiful and selfless for those pups ❤
  • @MaxandOccy
    Smiled ear to ear throughout the whole video! This is such an amazing project & you can tell it’s so special for everyone involved 🙌🏼 Sooo worth all the hard work and long days! Thank you all for doing this 💛 This is the type of content YouTube should be pushing to the masses. Can’t wait to rock my Cerritos dog beach shirt 💁🏻‍♂️
  • Girl! Do not listen to all of the negatives because there will always be those out there that try to tear you down. In helping the puppies you are helping those that cannot help themselves, if other people cannot see that then that says A LOT the type of human beings they are. I love that you are doing this and supporting Alex in getting this off the ground!
  • @lacie.w
    when bec was getting emotional opening up the gates made me so emotional! this makes me so proud of this community I can’t even describe it x
  • As a Mexican it breaks my heart everytime i see stray dogs!! You guys are amazing people and keep doing what you’re doing❤️❤️ orgullosa de ustedes!!
  • The people telling you you should “care more for people” or whatever are the ones who could be doing something to help people themselves. This is so awesome what you guys are doing , such a need to help the dogs in MX. ❤️
  • @LV12800
    I cried not only for the puppies and doggies BUT BECAUSE OF THE LOVE...THE LOVE BROUGHT ME TO TEARS...then I went and donated. God bless this entire endeavor. You folks are rock stars !!! ❤❤❤
  • How many times have I cried with you, Bec? But this time! So much joy and gratitude! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Fantastic work, Eamon and crew!
