What you need to know:

  • Philip Martin, who holds a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology with IT from Maseno University, had always nursed a profound love for dogs
  • Despite his impressive academic qualifications, his journey into the professional world was not smooth sailing
  • After searching for employment for seven years without success, Mr Martin decided to pursue his childhood passion: breeding dogs

In a typical African home, it is customary to offer food leftovers to the family dog after meals. 

The dog, on the other hand, understands its boundaries and knows that it is not welcomed anywhere near the dining table.
