Publisher's Summary

Most people think I save dogs, but really they saved me.

Niall Harbison is a dog hero based in Thailand. He spends his days feeding, caring for and rescuing the many street dogs he comes across. With every rescue there’s a story. Like the sweet gentle McMuffin who was found with many tumours and hours from death, only to be nursed back to health. She now lives with Niall and is a popular member of the pack. Then there is King Whacker – who escaped a vicious attack and is now ruling the nest living up to his name as the king of the all good dogs. And who could resist the puppy eyes of little Rodney, the beautiful dog with big paws who is melting millions of hearts around the world.

Originally from Dublin, Niall was the owner of a successful advertising company. After selling it, he moved to Thailand where his addictions – drugs and alcohol – almost got the better of him. One day he woke up in hospital, close to death, and realised that something had to change. And that was what spurred him on to start saving and helping street dogs. His aim is to help 10,000 street dogs.

This is his story.

From an absolute dog fan, I truly loved it

I’ve been following Niall’s Insta account for a while now and was always curious how he started his journey and what his life was like before moving to Thailand and it was so interesting to hear all about it and what led him to this point. Such an inspirational story and loved hearing it in his own words, his accent is so soothing! I got Audible specifically to listen to this book and definitely enjoying the convenience of it being a busy stay at home mum of two kids. If you’re a dog lover I definitely recommend it.

Get the tissues ready

Whether you’re a dog enthusiast or just a person who loves a good comeback story you’ll need a few tissues near by! Everything about this story pulls on the heartstrings… the highs and lows, the suffering and the successes, the amazing stories of the heroic dogs that were saved from certain death because of Niall and his determination to make a difference. It’s inspiring and heartwarming and knowing that my purchase of this book is going towards Tina’s Dog Hospital just makes it all that much better!

Authentic and meaningful

Absolutely loved listening to Naill’s story in his own voice. Raw and honest, it was his ‘realness’ that I enjoyed the most. Just a normal guy trying to find happiness in life - in a very remarkable way. The stories of the dogs were wonderful, too.

Truly heartwarming

I just loved listening to this book and hearing the stories about the dogs and the work that Niall is doing in Thailand. It was easy to listen to with great narration. It was sad at times and I have to say I did have a few tears hearing some of the dog's stories. I really like the vision that Niall has and wish him every success. I hope that this book inspires others all around the world to help dogs in need. Overall, an excellent book and I highly recommend!

Heartfelt and honest

Have been waiting for this book ever since Niall said it was coming and it was worth the wait. Thank you for sharing your back story so honestly, and loving the dogs so freely. This was a delight to listen to and would recommend to anyone who loves dogs and more importantly who loves seeing the underdogs win
