His health was so bad he was close to death.

Today he has a new Job… (1/4) 🧵 Image He loves attention and humans so much because he never knew love in his life.

5 weeks ago Rocky came into our lives.

We often see this with street dogs who come in very sick.

Their little bodies just give up when they finally feel safe. Luckily he has everything he needs… (1/6) 🧵 Image He has been sleeping for 23.5 hours a day.

We rescued Apollo 7 weeks ago.

To say it has been complicated would be an understatement but we have some unbelievable progress now… (1/7) 🧵 Image He is a wild street dog. It took us a week to catch him as he was so scared.

Bit of a tough day. Got a bite on the arm from a dog.

They look so small but if anybody has been bitten before they know the pain.

It got me thinking about the pain dogs suffer…. (1/4) 🧵 My 2 teeny tiny bites came from Apollo. Total accident.

We got tangled in a bush and he got spooked and I lose the leash. I had to grab his leg at risk of losing him. He panicked. He don’t apply pressure

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) 🧵 Image 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.
