About this listen

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND IRISH TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.

_

Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.

It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand.

When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more.

He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail.

From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped.

This is her story.

Niall has a way of speaking/writing that is honest, heartwarming and incredibly insightful. His stories of the dogs…and his very candid Shari f of his personal story makes this impossible not to binge in one go. 10/10

A great story brilliantly told

I ‘found’ Niall Harbison last year - or to be more precise, the social media algorithms found me! (It’s a short hop from liking a cute cavapoo video to your feed being filled with street dogs in Thailand!) Having followed him for a while it was obvious his approach was different to other animal charity accounts - and the book is an extension of that approach. Giving all the dogs he rescues quirky names to suit their individual personalities or appearance, Niall brings the dogs alive for us and before you know it you are hooked and checking your feed every day for updates! The book is a must for any follower and, if you’re not, it’s a great introduction to his work and motivation for the - seemingly crazy - grand plans he has to improve the lives of street dogs, globally. I may have shed a tear or two reading the book (Alba 💜) but it is ultimately an honest, heartfelt and uplifting read about the power of love, determination and redemption. Buy it. Your money will be well spent, on many levels.

Just loved listening to the stories and how Niall is doing his best to help street dogs in Thailand. I follow on Instagram so was delighted when the book was released. I really hope Tina’s hospital is up and running soon. She sounded like and amazing dog.

Amazing and inspiring book.

If I could give 20 stars, I would. Niall you are a true inspiration and a legend in our lifetime. You have overcome addiction and alcoholism to name a few, and now you are changing the animal world as we know it. Your selflessness, dedication and passion knows no bounds. We are all behind you in everything you do to help the dogs of Thailand and beyond. Enormous respect and gratitude xx

A beautifully written, heartfelt and candid tribute to Tina and all the street dogs of the world who didn’t have a choice in how they ended up being. I was sobbing unashamedly listening to it whilst out walking my dog.

A must-read for dog lovers and those who live in the moment
