Photos From Soi Dog Foundation's Post

Can you explain why someone slashed me with a knife on my back and left me alone to die? I don’t understand what I did wrong, and don’t think I ever will. My name is Daran and I have been alone on the streets of Thailand my whole life. No one has ever cared about me.

It is a hard life for street animals like me. I have had to scavenge through bins just to find small pieces of rotten food to stay alive. Some people are very unhappy about street animals like me being around. I have always been friendly to them, but they are scared of me and shout at me to go away.

One day I found myself in danger. As I was searching for my next meal, I was brutally attacked. The pain was unbearable but I was so scared I fled the scene. Days later, a kind man saw me and noticed the large open wound on my back. It was already infested with maggots and infected. He contacted Soi Dog knowing I was in danger of succumbing to my injury.

The Soi Dog Foundation hospital was a place I was not used to being so I was obviously very scared, but also relieved as I knew they were trying to help me. I have since made a full recovery and am ready to find a home. The memories of my attack have left me a bit unsure, but the volunteers have worked on gaining my trust back. Once I get to know someone, I come out of my shell and enjoy going out for a walk.

I dream of a home I feel safe in and a family who will help me grow in confidence. Do you think you could help a dog like me? I would be forever grateful.
