He thus spends several hours every day in the heat on the road to deliver water to thirsty animals. Whenever he shows up with his truck bringing in the bad guys 12 thousand liters of fresh water, elephants and buffaloes, antelopes and zebras come to greet him. “This area is completely without water, so the animals are dependent on humans. If we don't help them, they will die," Mwalua told Dodo. “Last night I found 500 buffalo waiting for water. They literally smelled the water when I arrived and started drinking as soon as I started filling the dry hole. The animals are so excited.”
Patrick's passion for wildlife has inspired some American women who are for him set up a page GoFundMe. He promised to continue take care of the animals as much as possible.
