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)

Her life started in Thailand in pure agony.

A padlock around her neck, 5 puppies in tow and broken by abuse.

To see her today in her forever home in Scotland will melt your heart… (1/8) 🧵 Image
She’d been dumped with her puppies. Those are 100s of ticks on all their ears.

I was able to get all the puppies re-homed and Britney came to live with me once I’d calmed her down (2/8) Image
Image
Image
From the moment I got that padlock off it took 1000 days to get her a home (3/8)

One day you are all alone on a 3 foot chain feeling sick and hungry and never having known what love or human touch is.

Then 3 months later… (1/5) 🧵 Image

You are adopted and live with a family who adore you.

None of you can stop smiling (2/5) Image
You have all your medical needs taken care of from the time you suffered neglect (3/5)

Tank has been in agony for a year on the streets with a huge growth.

We had to risk his life to get the operation done.

I’m happy to report he survived… (1/7) 🧵 Image
It had become so big he could hardly poop and he was in agony.

He wasn’t fit enough with his blood for the operation but we had to take the risk according to the vets.

It was 50/50 chance of survival (2/7) Image
Image
They started by clearing out all the poop. He’d started to lose the ability to pee and had also stoped eating and lost weight.

This was critical (3/7) Image

Lil Al Pacino is one of the worst cases of neglect I’ve seen.

We’ve had him for 20 days and are rebuilding his life.

He looks like a whole new dog already… (1/8) 🧵 Image
Nobody had touched him in years. It took us 2 visits to catch him.

He was in so much agony it’s not surprising he was like this (2/8)
He was red raw from fleas and eggs baked into his body. The vets sedated him for and 6 people had to clean him.

His weight was also a huge issue. He was super obese. (3/8) Image

We lost Angelina yesterday. Giving her a dignified send off was important.

Just as important is her bonded partner Bob who is suffering.

Dogs really are remarkable creatures…. (1/8)🧵 Image
They’ve lived together on the streets for the 3.5 years I’ve known them. Likely their whole lives.

Bob was never further than 10 yards from her. Totally inseparable (2/8)
With Angelina in the emergency vets little Bob stopped eating. He refused to leave her spot on the street. (3/8) Image

A true love story. Angelina Jolie is really leaning on Bob these days.

He is with her every step of the way through her battle.

This will put a big smile on your face… (1/7) 🧵 Image
I’ve fed them on the streets of Thailand for 3.5 years. They never miss a meal.

They are always inseparable. Both are old.

Angelina would always have a song for me (2/7)
Angelina recently got attacked. She has been in and out of ICU for 10 days.

Back on the streets without her Bob stopped eating. He slept in her spot.

Angelina’s health problems got more complicated (3/7) Image
