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)

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)

An incredible outcome…

She came to us 6 weeks ago with tumors on her eyes and inside her mouth.

To see her today is a thing of beauty…(1/5) 🧵 Her owners were distraught. They are not well off people.

They came to us at Tina’s hospital hoping for some sort of miracle.

Even I thought she might have to be put down when I saw her the first day (2/5)

This was the first photo I was ever sent of Stormzy.

His owner had found our contact details. He was told he had to pay to put him to sleep but he didn’t have the money.

That was 2.5 months ago. Stormzy was getting some big news today…. (1/7) 🧵 He came to us on a little wooden “stretcher” his owner had made.

Stormzy had been hit by a car and had a serious brain injury. Things did not look good (2/7)

Shaq is the hardest rescue I’ve ever had.

His life was nearly over when I found him 2 years ago.

I was feeling a little down today so I went to see him. It’s hard to believe how good he now looks (1/7) 🧵 This was the very first picture of him that I was sent. He had a huge growth on his neck.

I dropped everything and went there immediately (2/7)

Of all the dogs I’ve ever rescued McMuffin is hands down the worst case I’ve ever seen.

That’s why seeing her celebrate her birthday today in Germany is such a joyous scene.

A remarkable story… (1/10) 🧵
When I was handed her in the street in Thailand I’ve never smelt anything like it.

1000s of ticks on her body and the stench of rotting flesh and tumors (2/10)

Sundays are my favorite day because they are 100% hands on with the dogs.

It’s the day where I can physically feel a difference being made.

Today was a good once including saving this little boys life… (1/10) 🧵 Nothing beats starting the day with dogs who have recently had life saving treatment.

They are lucky to be alive. Just walking 20 dogs starting at 6am is a joy (2/10)

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) 🧵 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)

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) 🧵 He was so obese for a little dog when he came in. Covered in tumors and he had severe skin disease. (2/7)

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) 🧵 Apparently she was too “annoying” in the area. Can you imagine having to live like this? (2/7)

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) 🧵 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)

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) 🧵 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)

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) 🧵 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)

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) 🧵 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)

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

None of you can stop smiling (2/5)

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) 🧵 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)

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) 🧵 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)

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.

Bob was never further than 10 yards from her. Totally inseparable (2/8)

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) 🧵 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)

I spent the weekend in Delhi, India.

1 million street dogs are under severe threat.

I’ve never seen a story like this. I didn’t think it was possible in the modern world.

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.

The Supreme Court paused the order and dog lovers celebrated.

But that was only the start… (2/10)

On Saturday in Delhi, India I saw him getting beaten by a man. He collapsed in front of me.

It hasn’t been easy but 4 days later he is alive and progressing.

The miracle could be on 🤞… (1/8) 🧵 His body was in extreme shock. He was very close to becoming an unknown statistic of animal abuse (2/8)
