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
Image
It took us months to build him back up. Panda didn’t go back on the streets.

Instead we found him a home in Scotland and he headed off on that journey last week fully better (4/8) Image
Image
Image
Image
Panda was a little confused as he took

🚕 ⛴️ Samui to Bangkok
✈️ Bangkok to Paris
🚗 ⛴️ Paris to Scotland

We always worry but we check the dogs and interview people in depth. We needn’t have worried with Panda (5/8) Image
Panda arrived and although a little jet lagged he has already set about exploring all that Scotland had to offer.

He was wondering if someone could turn on the fire please? (6/8) Image
Image
Panda says he can’t understand a word anybody is saying but his tail hasn’t stopped wagging.

No more sleeping on the street outside 7-11. He has his own family now (7/8)
Best friends for life. No doubt about it.

You love to see it Panda. Nobody deserves it more 🥰🙏 (8/8) Image
Image
Lots more of Panda settling in over on my insta…

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)

We rescue and re-home a lot of dogs.

I’ve never seen the team as emotional as saying goodbye to Panda today.

What a comeback he had and what a life he is off to live… (1/7) 🧵 Image
We were called to him collapsed outside a 7-11 trying to cool down.

He only had a day or 2 to live at most. (2/7)
As soon he came to us he went downhill. His body nearly gave up.

He spent 10 days in ICU. His bill was about $3000 and I thought it might end up being a huge waste of money as his outlook was so bleak (3/7) Image

A very different type of dog rescue today.

This poor girl was like a beached whale. Her legs can hardly support her.

It won’t be easy but her recovery has started… (1/7) 🧵 Image
She lives in a temple in Thailand where she is fed by both locals and tourists.

First problem was figuring out how to move her… (2/7) Image
Image
She is 42kg or about 95 lbs.

The locals were very grateful for help but they’ve really been “killing her with kindness”.

It might seem funny but she is close to death. (3/7)

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)

After losing Angelina last weekend I was devastated.

At the end I said to her I’d do a week of saving sick dogs in her name.

This is the story of all the dogs saved this week… (1/7) 🧵 Image
Little Al Pacino got his test results back after biopsy. He is cancer free! A huge win

He looks like a new dog (2/7) Image

Big Tank went under the knife for a life saving operation.

His huge hernia / prostate problem has been solved. (3/7) Image
