Just a short thread to cheer you all up this Monday. It’s very tough emotionally doing the dogs but this is the part that makes it worth it.

This is King Whacker of Scotland and today was a very special day for him… (1/6) 🧵

It’s well over a year since I got the call out to a dog that had been split open with a pick axe. It came within a millimeter of killing him. It was a long road to recovery and I was very new to helping dogs but he made it. (2/6)

I called him Whacker in a rush as he got a whack to the head. He then become King Whacker as he looked and acted so regal with his cone and in general. He was a street dog who I promised would never go back to the streets (3/6)

His full title was extended to King Whacker of Scotland when he was adopted there last year. I met him in the summer and I was so happy when he hadn’t forgotten me.

I always worried about Whacker as he was a proper street dog and never knew a home or any love but.. (4/6)

I log in today after a long hard day helping other dogs and I see he’s been thrown his very own birthday party. It’s his 1st / 7th birthday party all in one. My heart very nearly exploded with happiness (5/6)

King Whacker of Scotland was a street dog with nothing in life who someone wanted dead. Look at him now as proud as can be being spoilt and sharing a bed with his adopted brother. I’m so proud of him. Not everything is bad in this world 🥰🥰🥰 (6/6)
