Another Kenyan American here currently bouncing between NYC and Kenya. I love your vibe but when I saw you and your Dalmatian pushing a matatu 😅 I had to subscribe. Karibu Kenya
So awesome of you to subscribe. I can't get enough of Kenya. I'm hooked. Cuse is a trooper who is always up for anything. I hope you have seen my matatu experience at the end of this video: th-cam.com/video/4ORT5sHZy-Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kV23L9zjHelhivnp 😂😂
To be honest., growing up in Lebanon was kinda chaotic. I experienced order after immigrating to the U.S. Kenya in some instances reminds me of Lebanon which is why I easily adapt.
@@RichardDebs Yea, just like mental health used be laughed off especially by men but these days there is enough awareness that even a guy would suggest to a fellow guy to go to therapy if they notice their friend is not okay. Mental health treatment in Kenya was normalized by Psychiatrist campaigning and creating awareness through Tv and Radio. If they did the same for Emotional support Animals then it will stop being a foreign concept to the average Kenyan.
We Do have Service animal laws in Kenya. Ask your lawyer... I am writing to educate you about the service animal laws in Kenya. These laws are important to know because they protect the rights of people with disabilities who rely on service animals. The Constitution of Kenya guarantees the right to equality and freedom from discrimination. This includes the right of people with disabilities to access public spaces and services. Service animals are considered to be assistive devices, and they are protected by the Constitution. The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1962 also protects the rights of service animals. This Act prohibits the mistreatment of animals, and it specifically states that service animals are not to be subjected to cruelty. The following are some of the key provisions of the service animal laws in Kenya: People with disabilities have the right to bring their service animals with them into public places, such as schools, hospitals, restaurants, and shops. Service animals must be well-behaved and under the control of their handler at all times. Service animals are not to be refused entry to any public place. People with disabilities who are denied entry to a public place because of their service animal may file a complaint with the Kenya Human Rights Commission. I urge all Kenyan citizens to learn about the service animal laws in Kenya. These laws are important to protect the rights of people with disabilities who rely on service animals.

Did you finally get a Kenyan name? May you totally feel that you belong to Kenya 🇰🇪. I’m a Kenyan living in Texas 🇺🇸hoping to return home soon. So much nostalgia as I watch your videos. Asante 🙏🏽
Come November you won't be the only mzungu na mbwa huko Nairobi! Thanks for the tip on ArtCafe's patio, that looks like a nice spot to relax. ..Guess I better remember to start carry a key chain or small gift; Would hate to exchange, with nothing in hand but my leash.. lol😜
Bringing dogs into a restaurant is always a big issue even in the United States. Even if you have a service dog many restaurants still have issues. So don't feel bad. But also, in Kenya and Africa at large many people still see dogs as not pets but protective animals guarding their premises. Very few places let dogs in restaurants around the world.
He's doing better everyday. The vet things that in another week, he'll be much better. He's putting weight on it now but unfortunately he can't get the foot wet so the beach is out 😢
@@RichardDebs I am visiting from New York City. I will be there for a few weeks. I booked SAGIJAJA for a couple of days, and if I love it, I may stay longer :-)
He didn't actually need the vet. I thought that it was in the mall which would make it a dog friendly mall. When the first guard let us in. I thought that we were home free. No such luck 😊. But that was progress.
Oh, I know you are. You're always here to give feedback and I thank you for that. I would like to refer to you by your first name but not sure what it is from your handle.
@@RichardDebs funny thing is this is the first time I've seen your video😅. Then when I saw you you that day I had no idea who you were. Your dalmnation caught my attention. I've never seen one. Especially one with a cast😅
Maybe contact KISE as they are a government department. They are policy makers for special needs education, advocacy etc. They might be able to assist with research and policy development if they feel there is a need for a new policy for animals. We do not even have seeing- eye dogs in Kenya so this would be a great and new step forward.
You sure can. I showed up to safaricom with my passport to get a SIM card for my phone. I then loaded money to my mpesa account as a tourist. Mpesa is sooo crucial when you don't want to walk away around with cash.

I've noticed here on the coast that dogs are primarily used for security. It then makes sense that folks are afraid of dogs. Cuse is an incredible companion. He absolutely loves people. Check out this when he arrived in Nairobi th-cam.com/video/P5-WUbpdEoU/w-d-xo.html
I'm sorry but I have never liked any kind of animals in a restaurant!! I have worked in the hospitality industry and it shouldn't be allowed... When you're in another country you have to abide by the rules of their country!!! Remember its not America...we can agree to disagree..you don't even see animals in the city in Africa...at least I haven't
I totally understand your position and I respect each country's position. However, that doesn't mean that I will not challenge positions which I think ought to be changed. I'm not suggesting that restaurants allow pets. I however am suggesting that restaurants do allow service animals. I think that a blind person should be allowed to enter a restaurant with a trained service dog which helps them navigate their environment. Cuse is a trained service dog who calms my anxiety when flying. He senses when I'm getting nervous and puts his paws on my chest to help calm me down. I think there is a role for service animals to play in Kenya.
I understand completely but you are in another Country and what they say goes...They can go as far as telling you that if you don't like their rules then you shouldn't be there...I'm just saying...I've seen where Americans go to other countries and try to change the rules and they're simply not having it!!! well...I wish you luck@@RichardDebs
And? I still love it and it's friendly people. I see improvements in infrastructure. Maybe not as fast as some might like but the city continues to take a crack at the issues.

Crossing a Kenyan highway is a life skill you're nailing
To be honest., growing up in Lebanon was kinda chaotic. I experienced order after immigrating to the U.S. Kenya in some instances reminds me of Lebanon which is why I easily adapt.
The problem is, we don't have laws about service animals. It's not a thing in Kenya. Most people won't even understand what it means
Doesn't mean that they can't open to it. Kenya Aieand Jambo Jet are on board. My fingers are crossed for its adoption over time.
There's a problem that there's isn't standard animal by-laws.

5:44 Good thing we have people who care about the environment and one of them being Richard. As I once said, keep up the good work.
Asante sana.
My dad's birthday was recent and we got him the caramel cake from art cafe😊 which in my oppinion is one of the best
It's because of your videos that I discovered Artcafe and we love it soooo much!
Then my job is done 😂. Have you visited the epic one in the CBD?
Fun to always watch your videos. Kenyan abroad missing home😢
Time to fix that. Sounds like it is time for a visit
Amazing video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and being the first to comment. Asante sana. 🙏
Pole sana for the incident in Mombasa. Happy to see you're ok.
LOVE YOUR DOG!
Always fun to watch ! Hey Debs when are you showing is more of your swanky new Diani house
Hahaha, I've shown it all. The pool, and all 4 floors were featured in the "moving" video. Only thing left to show would be under the beds 😂
@@RichardDebs bogeyman will be there waiting to show us around 😀
Did you finally get a Kenyan name? May you totally feel that you belong to Kenya 🇰🇪. I’m a Kenyan living in Texas 🇺🇸hoping to return home soon. So much nostalgia as I watch your videos. Asante 🙏🏽

Am addicted to your channel Richie

Cuse was excited to get back home to Diani. I agree the city life sometimes is too busy 😂
Pole for Cuses leg. Quick recovery to your dog. Hes a cute dalmatian.
He sure is. He'll be running around soon.
So ,did you relocate permanently to kenya?
Richard you r great
and so are YOU! Thanks for watching!
3:47 Still have the urge to donate, keep up the good work everywhere u go. "It's beautiful."😂😂 Loved the humor.
Donating to the cause is Not a requirement. Watching and sharing the videos with others helps.
Wow! Wete you alone on that flight😁
Sorry for the accident may yall get better soon😊
I love your energy hope i was around Nairobi we would hang out 😊
😂
What are you waiting for? I'm ready to hang out 😀😀
I saw you with Cuse bt I was on BRT , sadly my destination was at Safaricom stage
Wasn't meant to be this time 😊
I hope you both get well soon. It is sad to see him hop on three legs.
He's doing better everyday. The vet things that in another week, he'll be much better. He's putting weight on it now but unfortunately he can't get the foot wet so the beach is out 😢
Poor Cuse. Walking around Nairobi traffic jam with only 3 legs was really exhausting😫
Cuse is a trooper. He'll be fine soon.
Welcome to Kenya
COME TO MOMBASA!
I have about 3 videos to post on mombasa.i love Mombasa.
So when are your friends from USA coming to the coast?
So amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you liked it.
Think Nanyuki should be more fun for a pet owner, or Lamu.
Diani where I'm living us very pet friendly
I am visiting in December and would love to meet up with you. Are you in Nairobi in December?
Visiting from?
@@RichardDebs I am visiting from New York City. I will be there for a few weeks. I booked SAGIJAJA for a couple of days, and if I love it, I may stay longer :-)
Were you able to get Cuse to the vet at Sarit? The clinic is located in the Parklands car park.
He didn't actually need the vet. I thought that it was in the mall which would make it a dog friendly mall. When the first guard let us in. I thought that we were home free. No such luck 😊. But that was progress.
Karibu kenya i like your dog
His name is Cuse and he's the best 😊
Yes i know the name I just forgot it but anyway have almost watched all your videos you doing a great job keep it up bro
Ooh nooo...poor Cuse😢 hope he's feeling better..
He's in pain
Get well soon
Asante sana 🙏
10:57 Incase if I meet u Richard, just know that I'm a subscriber.
Oh, I know you are. You're always here to give feedback and I thank you for that.
I would like to refer to you by your first name but not sure what it is from your handle.
@@RichardDebs Ok no problem.
What happened to his feet?😢
Watch 2 videos back. I made a video about the tuktuk accident.
I have seen at 12:15 that Cuse is limping around 💔
we love you
Love you back!!
never seen a dog in a plane cool
Here i am 🎉😂😂
bro's artcaffe is 1 min walk from my place
So why are we not hanging out? 😀😀
Saw you at Sarit Mall with your buddy having a cast, sorry for that, anyway awsome
I am upset that you didn't say hi. Don't let it happen again 😂
@@RichardDebs funny thing is this is the first time I've seen your video😅. Then when I saw you you that day I had no idea who you were. Your dalmnation caught my attention. I've never seen one. Especially one with a cast😅
