Can I ask you a favour? I would like to raise funds for a charity and need your help.
My dog Zippy has a TikTok account with over 1600 followers, gained In 3 weeks. @catdog2026
Zippy has decided to move to YouTube (DogTube as she calls it) because she is concerned that DogTok is not a safe place for children. Her goal is to spread love and joy to children of all ages. And to give kids who cannot, for whatever reason, have a loving pet in their home. It may be due to allergies, rent restriction, or simply because their family cannot afford to feed and care for it. She believes, as do I, that all kids should know the love of a dog or cat.
Would you mind subscribing to her channel, watching a few videos and, perhaps, suggesting it to other parents if you think it’s suitable for their kids to watch?

She doesn’t want kids to have to pay to subscribe, but needs enough subscribers to monetise her account. Her first goal is to raise $1000 to donate to the Manawatu Alleycat Trust who rescued her little brother, Benson (a cat). As a social enterprise, she will then donate 10% of her earnings to the Trust and hopefully be able to buy her own dog food and possibly Benson’s food as well.
When we owned Tielcey Park Equestrian Centre, we set it up as a social enterprise. Unfortunately due to the high capital cost, we only turned a profit one month. So we got innovative, and created a club that gave riders horse show benefits in exchange for a reasonable yearly fee. We donated this directly to The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Research Trust and raised over $40,000 for this charity. We also raised over $10,000 to support a horse mad person who volunteered throughout the country, and had their lifeline stolen.
Zippy has plenty of analogies for kids and adults in her videos, as well as some cute stuff that kids will enjoy. Her dog wisdom is the voice of my mother and father, who both affected me greatly.
Thanks for reading this all the way to the end. Zippy says Woof! If you have a child (of any age, and that includes you reading this) who would benefit from a video by Zippy, please let me know their name and something special to put in the video. She loves doing these.
Together we Will make this world a better place. One kind word, one thoughtful action, and one moment of meaning . I used to believe in the Power of One, but now I know that the Power of Many is our L egacy for future generations.
