Presenting HarperCollins Publishers Hope - How Street Dogs Taught Me the Meaning of Life by Niall Harbison. In this heartwarming tale, Niall shares how the street dogs of Thailand saved him, instead of the other way around. Niall, a former advertising company owner from Dublin, moved to Thailand after selling his business. But his addictions to drugs and alcohol almost took his life. It was during his darkest moment, lying in a hospital bed, that he realized he needed to make a change. That’s when he found his purpose in life—to save and care for the street dogs of Thailand. With every rescue, Niall has a story to tell. McMuffin, a sweet and gentle dog with many tumors was hours away from death before Niall nursed her back to health. King Whacker escaped a vicious attack and now rules the pack with his strong and brave demeanor. And there’s Rodney, the adorable dog with big paw and puppy eyes who has captured the hearts of millions around the world. Niall’s goal is to help 10,000 street dogs, and this is his inspiring story.
