Meet Smurf!

During the Be That 30 for 30 campaign, all the 30 for 30 dogs will be guest bloggers for Be That Dog in Meet That 30 for 30!

Here you can meet Smurf, a dog afraid of the dark. Smurf will be posting about all dark matters, and some other matters too, in his special posts for the Be That 30 for 30 campaign.

And that makes some sense. Because that’s what happened to me. Obviously it’s just a temporary problem then. Because I was rescued and now […]
  • Dark Matters, with Smurf – I’m Smurf. And I’m afraid of the dark. It’s true. But as they say, “I’m not afraid of heights, I’m afraid of falling.” Well, I’m not afraid of the dark, I’m afraid of what might be lurking there. But it might just be that I actually have a fear of being alone. You see, I […]
