I have loved animals since I was a kid, my parents loved dogs so we always had two or three as we lived in a house with a big garden next door to a farm so the mutts were always free to run and play. At one stage we had William a huge boxer, Shambles a lovely stray sheep dog we adopted (he found us) and then little Joe the poodle who was theer boss and I would take them with me every morning on my paper round and on the way home they had a run round a huge field which they loved and William could keep up with a rabbit but he never caught any, luckily. I think that for him it was just a game.

Fast forward to today and I don’t have a garden so I cannot have a mutt, instead I love to look after and feed several strays and semi strays in the area between Amalfi and Tramonti. I ride and drive frequently to my garage and along the way I meet a variety of lovely hungry mutts and I always seek to take them some nosh, like the lovely Bella below.

I met the mutt below recently and he looked mega hungry so I gave him the food that I had. And by the time I grabbed my phone he had almost finished everything!!

    Hi Simon! thank you for all your work feeding the stray dogs & cats. I’m visiting amalfi right now & met a very sweet stray cat who is skin and bones and very pregnant. I suspect she’s also a kitten herself. For the last two nights we’ve been feeding her our left over meats from dinner. Is there anyway you could help this little girl or connect me to someone who can? She has been sitting outside grand hotel Saint’Orsola.

    We stayed at the Amalfi resort and are from New Zealand, so to far away for him :(. He sleeps in the Hotel Floridiana garage at night time. If you contact me on +43 678 9021184158 I can give you more information and show you what he looks like. Thanks for all you do 🙂

    Hi Simon, I am in Amalfi at the moment and met a very friendly sad old little stray dog who sleeps in a car garage at night. I really want to help him but can’t do much more as I am leaving tomorrow. Is there any way I can contribute so you can continue feeding him for me? I can give you a more detailed description of where he sleeps at night just let me know.
