Before Sunup
Bags are split into buckets before sunrise. Food goes down in spread-out piles. Water goes next to every pile, every time.
Field Manual No. 11
Our Dog Now
Feeding starving street dogs in Mexico, one bucket at a time.
Inside the Manual
This manual is about one thing: feeding starving street dogs in Mexico.
Our Dog Now is a printable Action Army field manual built around a simple daily mission: a bucket of food and water at the same time, same street, every morning. It begins with the reality that a street dog is not wild and not mean; she was somebody's dog once.
Starvation is a clock. Fat, then muscle, then speed, then the fight against sickness. The manual explains the feeding line, the daily route, and the practical steps that keep the work steady and humane.
The mission is not a shelter, not a gala, and not a fundraiser. It is a bucket. Every morning. Same street. Feed carefully, keep distance, and never reach for a scared dog.
The feeding line
How the route runs
Who Gets Fed First
Old and hurt dogs are fed first, off to the side. Shy dogs get a pile left at the last stop so they are not forced into a frightened close encounter.
Safety and Distance
Never reach for a scared dog. Kneel back and wait. The feeding line keeps dogs safe and the work repeatable.
A field mission you can use
What You'll Find Inside
- Start Here: the direct call to action: feed starving street dogs in Mexico and keep the work consistent.
- The Feeding Line: the route structure led by the Colonel, El Capitan Roxana, her sister Laura, and a crew of Mexican volunteers.
- Enlist: check one or more ways to help: bucket filler, standing order, recruiter, or group support.
- The Honest Page: what the ask is, what it is not, and the reality that some mornings the bucket runs out before every dog is fed.
- Marching Orders: the action steps for calling 855-88ACTION, visiting JohnnyActionArmy.com, and joining the Action Army.
- How to Give: the practical list of what to do tonight: fill the bucket, call the hotline, and print your Action Army ID.
Put it to work
Keep the bucket in motion
This manual keeps the mission plain: one thing, tonight, fill the bucket. It gives a direct list of phones, web links, and donation options, with a simple call to action for supporters who want to feed dogs in Mexico every day.
Before you decide whether the ask is for you, read the Honest Page. This guide is clear about what it is not: not a shelter, not a gala, not a tax-deductible nonprofit. The ask is food for street dogs in Mexico, and the work continues one day at a time.
The pamphlet also makes plain that the dogs on the page are composites drawn from pattern, and the nicknames are illustrative. The goal is to keep the mission honest, practical, and consistent.
