I feed 80 street dogs every day but the last stop is my favorite because I get to see little Angelina Jolie.

She’s a very very old girl who has lived on the streets her whole life but she is very special (1/6) 🧵 Image
She lives beside a little shop in the jungle. She’ll either be sleeping either under the car or just beside the road waiting.

Angelina is very vocal and likes to tell me she’s happy about her food delivery. Her voice makes me so happy (2/6)
The food is secondary for Angelina. She does love it but only after I sit and give her and her old best friend Bob 5 minutes attention.

I’m not sure who is happier to see who. Me or Angelina. But why leave her on the street? (3/6)

Image
The answer is she did come in one time for 2 weeks after she got badly attacked by another rogue street dog. I had to get her all fixed up.

She absolutely HATED being at the land. She cried all day every day and injured herself trying to escape by chewing the metal bars (4/6)
She got more and more frantic at the land. She was always trying to run away. We see this sometimes with street dogs. Angelina was a home bird. She’s about 10 and she’d lived her whole life in that spot on the street. She couldn’t get back there quickly enough once better (5/6)
Angelina has food. Medicines. A best friend. Water. Her safe place to live. And I clean her eyes for her every day.

I know she’s happy because she tells me so every day. A wonderful girl and my favorite stop. See her sets me up for the day ahead (6/6)

Shaq is the hardest rescue I’ve ever had.

His life was nearly over when I found him 2 years ago.

I was feeling a little down today so I went to see him. It’s hard to believe how good he now looks (1/7) 🧵 Image
This was the very first picture of him that I was sent. He had a huge growth on his neck.

I dropped everything and went there immediately (2/7) Image
We had to do 2 huge operations. The vets told us he probably wouldn’t survive.

It took him about 6 weeks to recover with us. It was agony for him and huge stress for us (3/7) Image

Of all the dogs I’ve ever rescued McMuffin is hands down the worst case I’ve ever seen.

That’s why seeing her celebrate her birthday today in Germany is such a joyous scene.

A remarkable story… (1/10) 🧵 Image

When I was handed her in the street in Thailand I’ve never smelt anything like it.

1000s of ticks on her body and the stench of rotting flesh and tumors (2/10)
I’m not scared to say I went home that night and decided it was the end. Based on the vets advice it would be kinder to leg her go.

Luckily I woke up and thought differently (3/10) Image

Sundays are my favorite day because they are 100% hands on with the dogs.

It’s the day where I can physically feel a difference being made.

Today was a good once including saving this little boys life… (1/10) 🧵 Image
Nothing beats starting the day with dogs who have recently had life saving treatment.

They are lucky to be alive. Just walking 20 dogs starting at 6am is a joy (2/10)
With 22 sick and injured dogs there’s a lot of special diets / medicines.

This is the only part I don’t like as I have zero patience. Luckily Tsu who helps me is a superstar (3/10)

A little boy in Scotland got home today from school to find his new best friend there.

His name is Panda and he’s flown across the world to greet him.

What an epic 8 month comeback for Panda… (1/8) 🧵 Image
I found Panda outside a 7-11 in Thailand chronically obese and close to death.

He only had a day or 2 to live at most (2/8) Image
He spent 10 days in ICU clinging to life. To be honest I wasn’t sure if the huge vet bill would be worth it.

The vets worked wonders but he had a long road ahead of him (3/8) Image

An update on lil Al Pacino and his recovery.

I still can’t believe he used to look like this just 5 weeks ago. (1/7) 🧵 Image
He was so obese for a little dog when he came in. Covered in tumors and he had severe skin disease. (2/7) Image
Image
He was so bad and so encrusted with fleas eggs in his skin that the vet team had to clean him under sedation (3/7)

6 months ago I found a very distressed dog on a tiny chain.

She had cuts all over her face from it. I called her Bianca as she would be beautiful white one day.

It’s hard to be live her today… (1/7) 🧵 Image
Apparently she was too “annoying” in the area. Can you imagine having to live like this? (2/7)
She had to poop in her own area. It was horrific.

That’s when I called her Bianca and promised to change her life (3/7)
