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.

This book is phenomenal. Couldn't put it down. Niall and company does not disappoint with these inspirational tales of all the best girls and boys, folded into one of the greatest love stories of them all. Like so many others around the world, I was immediately captivated by Tina. Her comeback story, her beautiful soul, literally everything about her. The very best girl 💕
I'm a rescuer and with 15 years of full time passion and effort saving dogs, I recognized so much of what was happening in these stories. The truth is that we cannot adopt and rescue ourselves and pets out of the crisis today - spay and neuter is the only way to make a dent in it. The transparency in physical and mental health conditions combined with the power of unconditional love from dogs is what makes this a great book and an inspiration for all of us.
Love this book. Who couldn’t love this book?
Beautiful book
Picked up Niell’s posts on X. He truly is a Saint, saving countless dogs in Thailand. I have not yet had a chance to read this book … because my husband has been hogging it and he loves it. I know I will too!! Niell’s just the GOAT !!
