You met Ruff at Collared Manchester 🐾

Well hello there.

If you’re reading this, something interesting just happened.

You tapped your phone to my hand and ended up here.

Yes, the chip is real.
And yes, most people check their phone and then stare at my hand for a second before believing it.

Welcome to Ruff’s little corner of the internet.

Ruff in Manchester

While Atlanta is my home base, I spend a lot of time traveling between communities, and the UK pup scene has become one of the places that feels like a second home.

Events like Collared Manchester bring together pups, handlers, kinksters, and curious humans from across the north of England and beyond. It’s one of those spaces where people can show up as themselves, meet new friends, and share the strange, playful energy that makes pup spaces so special.

If you met me here tonight, there’s a good chance I was:

• wandering the venue meeting new people
• chatting with other pups and handlers
• explaining how the chip works
• or letting someone scan my hand just to watch their reaction

So why does my hand scan?

Because meeting someone should be memorable.

You just scanned one of the NFC implants in my hand. Your phone briefly powered the chip and it sent you here.

No batteries.
No tracking.
Just a tiny piece of tech and a fun way to connect.

And honestly, it’s a pretty good conversation starter.

If we met tonight

I’m really glad you said hello.

One of the things I love most about the pup community is how easy it is to meet people across cities and countries. A random conversation at an event can turn into friendships that stretch across the world.

Moments like this are part of that.

One last thing

If you see me again at Collared, somewhere else in Manchester, or across the UK scene, come say hi.

And if someone asks how you got my contact info tonight…

You already know the answer.
