LEGAL INFORMATION

At Ocean Beer, hope is at the core of everything which is why we love to share our Ocean Beer story of Maple and why she is Head of Hope.

In the very early days of Ocean Beer, Martin, one of the founders, and one of the sales team were travelling around Andalucia presenting the beer to the on-trade. While talking with the owner of a bar in El Palmar, a small and visibly ill dog walked in begging for scraps, which it received and duly left. It had a bleeding, tennis ball sized tumour on its side, and a leg it could not use. Martin inquired about the dog and everyone agreed it was very sad, the sweet dog came by most days asking for food and all wondered why no one did anything about it.

But in the spirit of the Lorax, if not you, who? After visiting more potential clients, Martin returned to where he had seen the dog to pick it up and take it to a veterinary hospital. He spent several hours searching but couldn’t find her. Martin returned home disheartened that so many knew about the dog but hoped someone else would do something. We humans seem to easily forget that it is on us to make the changes we want to see in the world. After sharing the story with his wife, she initiated a significant campaign through social media to locate the dog. Many friends in Andalucia chipped in to help locate it and it was Fernando at Salvando Peludos who after a few weeks found her and brought her to Madrid. 

After three surgeries, a serious grooming session and much love and human kindness, little Maple has made a full recovery and is a joyful, much loved and caring member of the family. Despite her petite frame she looks after a large, insecure rescue dog with an abusive past, has managed for the cats not to feel threatened by her and doesn’t bother the chickens. She also makes frequent visits to the Ocean Born office to check in with the team.

Maple’s story is one like The Star Thrower. As individuals, we cannot save the world – but with kindness, empathy and respect, we can make it better, even if one individual at a time.
