This is little Solo. I gave her that name as she was tossed into the jungle all alone in the middle of Thailand.
She was covered in fleas, starving and had no mother. Someone spotted her in a hedge and asked if I’d take her.
Today was the greatest day of her life (1/7) 🧵
Solo was so small we had to feed her goat’s milk to build her up. Female puppies are often tossed in the jungle as nobody wants them. She only had a couple of hours left at most.
We started building her up but she needed a foster mum… (2/7)
Tina had been used her whole life for breeding puppies but had them all taken away from her. She was perfect for the job.
Solo watched her every move and copied all her traits. Solo became as gentle and kind as Tina in those days. Little did we know Tina would soon die (3/7)
Solo was like Tina’s shadow. We thought she would be tiny but she soon started to grow and we knew she’d have to make her own way in life. After 7 months it was time to find little Solo a home… (4/7)
It was about this time that my family visited. My little brother was dog obsessed and he walked them all but he kept begging to see Solo. He’d go and see her 3 times a day and just hold her. But he lived in Belgium and Solo was in Thailand (5/7)
Well today after months of planning and paper work Solo flew from Thailand with a flight volunteer family (thanks Sabine) to Germany where she met my dad and brother who’d driven to meet her. She was going to live with them in Belgium and his dream came true (6/7)
From the jungle of Thailand and only a couple of hours to live. Being brought up by Tina and then making a journey across the world.
You did it little Solo. You made it off the streets 🥰🙏 (7/7)

I’ve been involved in a lot of hard dog rescues in my time. But none quite like tonight.
We’ve been trying to catch this boy for a week after being sent this photo. He’s a wild street dog.
It looks like we’ve saved his life… (1/7) 🧵
We’ve failed on 6 previous attempts. Sedation, traps, nets and many of us in the fields. He has been too scared.
We’ve probably used 50 man hours trying to catch him.
We even darted him once but he got away into the jungle (2/7)
We got him tonight after an epic chase.
It was life or death. The wound on his face was full of maggots and flies. I’ve shared the pic from a distance to not shock but his face was being eaten alive (3/7)
On the 23rd of October Stormzy came into us with a massive brain injury.
He couldn’t walk or even support his head.
Today 11 weeks later, Stormzy was adopted and went home with his forever family… (1/8) 🧵
He’d been hit by a car. His owner had frantically been looking for a vet.
He was told in this pic that he needed to pay to put him to sleep. He didn’t have the money so he had to take him home for 4 full days and just watch him hopelessly (2/8)
Our vet said just give him time. It was incredibly painful to watch him suffer so much. But the medicines and rest really did work.
He couldn’t walk or eat himself for weeks. But the swelling stated to go down (3/8)
