Fighting for animal rights and raising awareness for endangered species became his priority. He would often use up his vacation days and savings to volunteer at the Cheetah Experience in South Africa.

During one such trip, he was tired after a long day in the sun and decided to nap under a tree. That’s when a cheetah named Eden spotted Dolph. She walked up to him, sniffed him, and decided to cuddle with this harmless human!
