Ahmad loved animals all his life. His father had lived since infancy in a household with dogs and cats, and had developed a strong affection for animals. This love of “creatures great and small” was passed on to Ahmad and his siblings.

Ahmad had a Rottweiler named Nairobi that he’d gotten as a pup; they’d grown very close over their 16 years together.

News of the mistreatment or injury of an animal upset Ahmad greatly; sometimes in sadness, sometimes in anger.

He would have been so pleased to know that a contribution had been made in his name to Bobbi and the Strays to help with the wonderful work you do!
