Niall Harbison rescues starving dog on Thai island

Niall Harbison, a Dublin native residing in Thailand, has dedicated himself to rescuing abandoned and abused dogs across the country. His charity, Happy Doggo, aims to improve the lives of neglected canines, with a goal of rescuing 10,000 dogs each month. Recently, he encountered a dog named Lando, who was found chained, starving, and reported as aggressive. Upon arrival, Harbison discovered that Lando was actually frightened and weak, not aggressive as initially thought. After providing Lando with food and taking him to a vet, the chain was removed, and it was confirmed that he was not suffering from any illness. Weighing only 14kg at the time of rescue, Lando was brought to Harbison's sanctuary, where he began a monitored recovery. Over the next few days, Lando was fed multiple small meals and received ample care and affection, which helped him regain strength. Lando's recovery was marked by a notable obsession with food, likely stemming from his traumatic past. Harbison and his team had to ensure he did not overeat too quickly, as this could be dangerous for his health. As Lando adjusted to his new environment, he began to fill out and showed signs of improvement, including sleeping long hours to recover. The heartwarming story of Lando's rescue resonated with dog lovers worldwide, leading to an outpouring of praise for Harbison's efforts. Many have recognized him as a hero for his commitment to saving dogs like Lando, highlighting the importance of compassion and action in addressing animal welfare issues in Thailand.
