THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

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.

Honest and hopeful

Honest, genuine and powerful biography about life, addiction and ultimately finding purpose amidst personal struggles. Heartbreaking but also heartwarming introduction to some special and lovely dogs. Really enjoyed listening.

Absolutely inspiring

What a wonderful and hopeful story. The amount of lives he will touch and change forever in his lifetime is his silver lining. Dogs are angels on earth. Their healing power is immeasurable and unmatched. Thank you for what you were doing for these beautiful souls. Look how they have healed yours.

Full of hope, love and positivity!

There are very few autobiographical books that feel as raw, and yet uplifting as this one. There is real life in this book, not just self help quotes. I cried, but i understood the meaning and emotions behind what I was crying about. Cherish this book which is spoken by one gloriously broken man who provides a universal amount of hope in this world

Loved it!

I finished this audiobook in two days - absolutely loved it. Niall is a gifted writer - he makes you feel like you are exactly in the moment with his descriptive writing style. He’s also a wonderful narrator. I will recommend this to family and friends, especially those who may need a little lift.

Niall & Crew are Selfless

Everything from the way the book was written with the timelines and stories, along with the narration, deserves five stars. I pray for guidance, monetary support and community support for his mission.

Your book is saving my life

Your calming voice has been my lifeline as I lay sick in bed with covid. I’m incredibly depressed and it’s you and your mission that are giving me the strength to survive. It has given me hope.

Hope

Niall is an amazing, real individual who has truly found his passion in life. If we could I do that!!

Amazing, heartwarming, heartbreaking

I loved this book so much was amazing! Well written and touched my heart on so many different levels. Made me want to be a better person.

Inspiring and touching

What a beautiful true story about a flawed man finding his true calling and saving countless dogs on the streets of Thailand! I didn’t want this book to end and I truly hope this is the first of many! I’m already waiting for the next installment and the movie!!!

Dogs best friend

I've followed Nial's story through twitter, YouTube, and Instagram for the past 6 months, so I thought I knew his story but with this book, I learned of how he started this mission, his story before there was Hope, and the individual stories of certain dogs. I must say that I cheered on Rodney, Hope, Jumbo, Moriah, McMuffin, Dereck, King Whacker, Beyonce, and so many others. I've cried for Giuseppe, Snoop, Angel, Tyson, and still can't stop crying for sweet Tina. This book sheds light on the hard life of street dogs and what Nial is doing to change their lives. He is the dogs best friend.
