It's not every day you meet a golden retriever in Thailand.Niall met Tina, a dog shackled on a short chain and minutes from death, one day in Thailand. Her story sparked a global movement, so Niall made a promise: to build her hospital and treat every street dog who needs help.

When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health, something reminded him and 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 one in particular that told him she was special. He just didn't know how special she was going to be. 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 and only opened her heart wider. She never once felt sorry for herself and instead made the most of every single second, showing everyone who met her how to just live in the moment. She taught Niall and everyone around her, how to be in this world, however confusing and hard we may find it. And always with her unique grin on her face - yes dogs can smile - and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail.

From the very minute Tina was freed of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done - changing the world and making it a better place for all the other dogs, whether they're street dogs from Thailand, or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped.

It's only just began.

This is her story.
