Local cat rescue organisation CatsnCare in Stanmore Bay had a special guest last week, when Stephen Brassett called in as part of his year-long walk from Invercargill to Kaitaia.
Stephen is walking the length of the country with his dogs Jake and Piccolo, pulling his home-built micro-camper behind him, to raise awareness and funds for animal welfare organisations.
The Longest Walk began when he became frustrated at the poor treatment of animals he came across in his role as a dog trainer.
“So many people don’t realise that when you own an animal, it’s a lifetime commitment,” he says.
Towing his mini camper is slow work, and he is travelling “the backest backroads possible” to stay safe.
He describes his little camper as “luxury” with solar panels and space to sleep and cook.
Stephen is being hosted by local animal welfare organisations and his blog includes details of the work that these groups are doing.
