A very big day for the street dogs

Niall Harbison @niallharbison.bsky.social · 2d

Didn't think I'd end up in situations like this when I started helping street dogs. A drug dispute and one of my fav dogs shot 5 times.

Luckily some silver linings

After losing Angelina we built up Bob's confidence.

Today he leaves us but he sent him on his way with all he needs for his new life. A very special boy indeed

Little Leonardo is now fully grown and looking spectacular.

A little life changed forever with a simple $25 pill and lots of good food, shelter and most importantly Love!

She is only about 6-7 years old but she had set up a little "field hospital" to save little Bambino.

He is with us now but the girl did wonders!

Got a knife pulled on me today in Thailand feeding the dogs. Not nice at all.

About as brutal a day as is possible to have. Got Thumper safely rescued at least.

For years she was on the shortest chain in the jungle in Thailand.

Today she arrived in America. Look at Bianca go!

I've never seen a dog quite as big as this girl today. We found her just in time.

This won't be an easy one but I'm just glad her heart didn't stop today as that was a worry. Welcome Bella

Smashed in a hit and run by a truck in Thailand.

Now walking around Windsor Castle in England like she owns the place ❤️

I work with a lot of sick dogs. We save 100s but we also lose some. It never gets any easier.

Here are some important lessons I've learnt along the way...

Panda was hours from death when we saved him from outside a 7/11 here in Thailand.

After building him back up he is off to Scotland. A lot of sad faces at @wearehappydoggo but he is off to a forever home on a farm!

He has been in complete agony and he needed a blood transfusion during his operation but look at Spock now!

He's back walking!

Buster is still one of my all time favorite rescues. He spent his life living on a short chain on cold concrete because he was too "vicious". His love affair with his mum Kitty is a thing of pure beauty

Angelina left with dignity, her best friend by her side and with love from around the world.

What a legacy for a little street dog in Thailand ♥️

I can't believe how good he is starting to look already.

One of the kindest and most gentle dogs we've ever had.

Whatever country I visit in the world I see so many dog lovers.

“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.”
