The way you look after Sen is truely amazing . She deserves you and you deserve her .

[@eccentricdrea]

Love you. Love San. Love how humble and loving you are to all beings! Love you too Amy. 😁🥰

[@aksil.abelgharbi6497]

I'm Moroccan, I have four dogs myself. Thanks bro for being fair and transparent in transmitting the reason why things might just seem abuse. There are those reasons, and it is entirely true about the kids thing! Super sad! I live in the Netherlands, and I cannot take my dogs to Morocco with me because of what you just described brother!

[@welovetofish5669]

Great video Amy and Alex with very useful information for traveling with your dog /dog's,.. and sen is a top dog with awesome facial expressions 👍👌

[@Sam.Willis657]

Super interesting especially with kids attitude to dogs, it’s really fascinating on how different cultures see things. Have a great week the both of you from Costa del Yorkshire xxx

[@infiniteblissco]

Your dog is badass, WOOOW! Absolutely love this video but travelling to Morocco with my dog and the confusion of titer tests and re entering EU seems a bit of a drag for me to think about. Why can't it be so simple 😭😂 love your videos and appreciate the information 😊

[@worstchannelever5232]

Great vlog very helpful info for even none dog owners on Local people s attitude to dog's 👍

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Awesome... thanks for the heads up! Might be heading that way towards the end of the year with Archie!

[@lifeofpye2541]

[@KiteVanMan]

Oh nice one 😃👍🏼 welcome along

[@imax2000]

willing to have you back here.

[@theexPAWers]

Cheers for the vid guys.. Researched most of this, good to hear your experience with Sen.. The kids thing could be a problem! Dizzee already doesn’t like little humans😬.. Will have to blind fold him a lot when we go… It took us along time to train him not to act aggressive towards little kids, like Sen got, he’s scared of them, crazy how the culture (peoples reactions) is so much different regarding dogs there, didn’t think about that too much tbh x

[@KiteVanMan]

👍🏼👍🏼 hope you guys are well!

[@TwoDogsplusMe]

Ref putting curtains to hide your dog it won’t work if a) they see the dog b4, b) the dog barks if it thinks threat outside, same thing happens in UK believe it or not

[@johnclement6546]

Morocco is an assault on the senses in the best way, Marrakech is all things to all visitors. Have fun on your future adventures both☮️🕉☯️

[@ScoobieDee]

Great Vlog Alex thanks for all the info . however I think you might have put me off going with the dog now . I was only planning on going for a month and it doesn’t seem worth it tbf

[@KiteVanMan]

😬😬 still worth I think 👍🏼

[@360av]

Great Video, it would be good if you could do a video on keeping your dog cool in the heat or tips.

[@KiteVanMan]

Yeah I may do this. Cheers

Dogs in Morocco like cats typically eat leftover human food, as they should. There's little reason to buy dog or cat food, and as few Moroccans own dogs in urban areas it's to be expected that it's expensive for the few that insist on buying it.

[@lucilamadden5235]

Love your vlog kisses to Sen!!!!!

What is the latest news on Sookie. Miss her 😢

In Taghazout Morocco, dog takes you.

[@TariqSVlogs]

hello, i have a question how much did you pay for the blood test or the rabie test that they send to lab in europe?

[@Peanutbutterree]

Did you need an export permit from Morocco to bring your pet back home?

[@dudeleboski2692]

Alex, you must admit, that for security reasons its best to bring a dog with strong character with you if you’re going to Africa in a camper.

[@elmehdibenhadj5770]

I m from morocco , used to have an amstaff as my dearest buddy , i had the same kind of reactions but i managed to socialize my dog just fine. It s true that many people would stick to walls or cross the streets as i passed by , my he was such a gentle dog i could literally have him prank people at the local shop by surprising them from behind XD. all jokes aside morocco is quite changing their perspectives about dogs , people used to see dogs more as an utility dog for hunting , guarding property of sadly fighting , and wild dogs are mostly seen as pest (lately a french tourist got killed by a pack of dogs) now more and more people see them as pets . also for the wild dogs , there is a big governement inverstment into open air shelters as a law has been passed making it illegal to voluntarly kill wild dogs .

[@u.2b215]

Why as a Moroccan did you even think it was okay to walk with your dog in the streets? It doesn't matter if it is a gentle dog, it is not done in Muslim countries to keep dogs as pets. Dogs should be kept for hunting, guarding livestock or land only.

[@elmehdibenhadj5770]

@@u.2b215 That dog was more of a friend than some "muslims" really . What s wrong with keeping a dog as a pet though ? I mean with all due respect people do have dogs as pets in here so idk why i did anything wrong.

[@u.2b215]

@@elmehdibenhadj5770As a Muslim who decides what is wrong or right? Is it not Allah and his messenger (pbuh)? You did wrong because the prophet (pbuh) said that keeping a dog for anything other than hunting, guarding or herding is wrong. Now you know.

[@elmehdibenhadj5770]

@@u.2b215 who said i was muslim ? I respect every religion though . But i don t see anything wrong by having a dog as a friend.

[@u.2b215]

@@elmehdibenhadj5770 What are the odds of someone from Morocco named "El Mehdi Ben Hadj" not being a Muslim? Were your parents not Muslim? Have you left Islam?

[@weatherloops]

Nowadays a lot of Moroccans own dogs but some still get scared cuz the animals here get angry a lot but if u go to developed places in Morocco u will never experience these problems

[@u.2b215]

It's not about being scared, it is frowned upon to keep dogs in inner cities as pets. Respect the local customs when you travel, no matter how much you believe your "developed" customs are better. Dogs in Muslim countries are kept in rural areas for guarding land, herding livestock or hunting but not as pets.

[@weatherloops]

@@u.2b215 nowadays many people own dogs as pets although we don't experience any problems when we go out we can't enter restaurants and if we enter a mall or something wehave to hold the dog

Real handy video for dog owners. Love Sen super dog. So now how about a: "How to take good care of Girlfriends in a van" Or "How to get vanlife boys to tidy up the van"

[@abundant.adventures]

I think if we answer the first one the second doesn’t need a video :P

Thanks for another great vid Alex, loads of info for us dog owners excellentley put together. Loved the montage at the end……. we all miss Sookie! Stay safe and say hello to Amy….. from Norton Barracks…. :)

Thanks Warren! There’s nothing like a hello from home :)

What is this song Alex ?

[@Markplaats-x1h]

Yea... goes to show that those kinds of people have those kinds of kids everywhere, not just the ones that come to europe, they are the same back there as well.. perhaps even worse....

[@akhno9826]

I've never been to Morocco with a dog but I've brought one back from these streets (bledis dogs as they call it) to France and I can say it wasn't easy but now its living its best life, saved of a certain death cause most of moroccans (not everyone thanks god) are killing these dogs by considering them as harmful things. Her name is Kala and we can feel in her eyes she's so gratefull. She doesn't have to fight anymore to survive against moroccans or other dogs I think it will be the best decision I've ever made in my whole life.

[@u.2b215]

In Morocco, like in many Muslim countries dogs are typically only kept in rural places, as guard dogs, for herding livestock or hunting. I'm sorry but Moroccan cities are simply not a place for you to take your dog and just walk around in the city centers. While there is no law prohibiting you from doing so but it's frowned upon.

[@kurtdeutschmann3182]

easy way to handle the dog is, open the cardoor let the dog out and close it and drive away. or keep it at at home.😂

[@Triggered1964]

Morocco is a Muslim country Islam sees dogs as impure dirty and evil Do you know a Muslim family that has a a dog? I don't By the way Sen is quality 👌👌👌

[@audioartistic]

You're not far off. But in the Islamic belief; if you want to keep a dog, you should know that as soon as it enters your home, your guardian angels will not keep you company for 40 days. After those 40 days, your dog is all welcome. I'm a Moroccan Muslim, but I still don't understand it, though it's not like it ever stopped me, or anyone else from keeping a dog.

Anecdotal evidence from a westernized Muslim🤔 By the way, I call myself a Christian! I haven't been to church in year's 🤪

[@lockin222]

People in Morocco don't believe dogs are bad. depends on which doctrine a muslim follows people in Saudi Arabia view dogs as bad while people in Morocco view dogs as fine to have as pets... This is like Christians catholic and orthodox, they are slightly different but same religion.
