From Horror To Hope: The Story Of Hero

We Wish You Could Have Met Hero. After All, You Saved His Life.

His story is just one example of what YOUR support has achieved and continues to achieve every day.

We first heard about Hero when a local lady contacted us. She had found Hero lying in a corner behind a building. He had been brutally stabbed in several places. He was bleeding profusely and had crawled into the corner to die.

Hero is a symbol of all the dogs we rescue that urgently need your support. Will you please CLICK THIS LINK to help? http://bit.ly/Save-Another-Hero

By the time Animal Rescue Officer Khun Sanae got Hero to the shelter, his legs were so badly swollen that the vets struggled to take a blood sample. His knife wounds were infested with maggots and he had septicaemia.

Despite his injuries, Hero was starving and wolfed down a whole can of dog food in seconds. We realised this brave little boy was going to fight for his life.

In addition to his knife injuries and the resulting septicaemia, Hero was diagnosed with blood parasites and mange, but needed to finish his septicaemia treatment before being given any other medication.

As time passed, Hero�s transformation was gradual but steady. His knife wounds were treated daily and slowly started to heal. His fur began to grow back and Dr. Su gave him regular body scrubs for an hour and a half at a time, to remove dead skin and matted fur.

Hero continued to eat well and started to put on weight. His regained strength meant he could be started on medication for his blood parasites and mange. The light came back in his eyes.

Hero got a second chance at life and his rescue alone makes him one of the lucky ones. However, his story doesn�t end there.

This brave little boy captured the heart of a woman named Sissy, who lives in the US. Sissy got in touch and told us she wanted to provide Hero with his forever home.

It is now just over a year since Hero left Soi Dog and flew to his new home in Maine. We�ll admit that we cried. Included towards the end of this album are some of the photos we have received from Sissy of Hero at home.

Hero�s new life in the US is a world away from that dark corner he crawled into to die, but it was only made possible because of people like you.
