Sapach and his beloved 9-year-old have been stopping in many different towns to spread their message. After receiving many positive responses from the people they encountered, Sapach quickly realized that he was onto something. He learned that a positive interaction with his beloved dog can be a much more effective way of teaching people about the importance of respecting animals than some of the negative approaches other organizations take.

Sapach notes that organizations often try to garner attention by positing sad images of dogs online or showing people heartbreaking commercials. He says that many people just turn the channel or close their browser when they're confronted with something that is too sad. He believes what he is doing much more effective. His method is one that actually engages people, teaches them something and leaves them smiling.

Frank Sapach and Sheila hope to reach the Canadian East Coast by December, spreading their message one interaction at a time. To follow Shiela and Sapach’s journey, you can visit their blog.
