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)🧵
They’ve lived together on the streets for the 3.5 years I’ve known them. Likely their whole lives.

The world needs to see this… (1/10) 🧵
I went to join protests against an order to remove 1 million street dogs to be rounded up to shelters.

3 months ago I was in New York for 48 hours and asked a friend if we could help save a dog.

You won’t believe her journey… (1/8)
She was 115 lbs when we got her out. She was so scared I had to carry her.
Her life would have been over the very next day but she needed so much work… (2/8)

A good day of progress with Lil Al Pacino today.

Had to quickly gain his trust.
Was able to quickly start turning his life around… (1/7) 🧵
