This should have been on the national news internationally - it's stuff like this that reminds people that there is good in the world too. Well done all to the villagers who put out the distress call for help for the dog, to the chaps who hiked for hours to retrieve him, to the Vets who saved his life and to the restaurant owners who adopted him ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bfchau]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU EDEN! Your kind words mean a lot. Sean and Ross are amazing people and I know them both personally. They continue to do animal rescues in Taiwan today. Sandy is doing well. If you’d like to see some recent pictures or videos of him, please feel free to reach out to me. I’d be happy to share.

Stealing someone's dog?? Yea, so beautiful

[@bfchau]

@@robertedwards5553 Nobody stole anyone’s dog! Let me clarify, Sandy was a stray dog living deep in the mountains of the Taroko National Park in Taiwan. He stepped on animal traps set by the aborigines who try to catch wild boars with snares. Hikers found him injured and on the verge of death. These kind hikers contacted Sean and Ross, well known animal rescuers in Taiwan. Sandy is very lucky to have been rescued by Sean and Ross, two truly amazing human beings. I adopted Sandy 5 years ago and he is doing well today. He’s a very healthy, loving, affectionate, and energetic pup. If you’d like to see some recent pictures of Sandy, let me know and I’d be happy to share.

[@user-sf9td6in3q]

I’m so glad you’re here to help. Here in Taiwan we have A LOT of stray dogs and no one wants to help them bc people only like the small and cute ones. If you go visit the country side, you’ll see tons of stray dogs and most of them are dogs like this one, here we call them mountain dogs. And some places even eat them. I’m trying my best to save them especially feed them whenever I can, but me being under 18, still in school, living with my strict family and have close to no money of my own, it’s really hard to find a place for them to stay. Especially when im not even allowed to go too far from home. If any of you want to come to Taiwan, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE donate to shelters and please feed a stray dog whenever you see one. And don’t forget to give them some love too. That’s all they ask for😔

[@mirella7792]

Ava Lockwood Thank you for helping out the animals where you live! Maybe when you get out of school you can start an organization to help animals in need and bring awareness on how to help the animals in your country! You have a beautifully kind loving heart! :) Never lose it! Thank u for sharing your thoughts with us! If I ever visit Taiwan someday I will feed the homeless animals and give them lots and lots of love and attention. Your a good person for caring so much Ava!🙌🏼 May God Greatly Bless you! Peace and Love! 🙏🏻💗🕊💗🙏🏻💜🐕🐈🐘🦍🐓🐐🐂🐎🐖🐏🐃🦒🐅🐙🦀🐬🐋🦅🦇🦉🐒💜

[@daisycocoa2557]

Ava Lockwood ...don’t be sad. Do what you can. It is hard now but these things change fast when people start to care. Just the fact that you care shows that things are changing in your area. You may not meet the people in your life that care about the animals, but there are others that care around you near or far away somewhere. You can write papers in school about what you see and what you think should be done that brings attention to the situation. You can locate and visit shelters near you talk to them. You can contact world wide humane societies or animal rights groups. Tell them where the problem is without saying your real name as your parents may not want you to get involved. Just tell them what you see. Be the ears and eyes for them, they may know someone near or far away that will come in and help.

Cheesy thought from watching so many dodo videos, but these things constantly amaze me with the power of human beings to go out of their way just to help an animal. They're not doing it for money or fame or anything. These dudes hiked up a mountain for hours just to go rescue this dog and then hiked all the way back down, took care of the dog, and made sure he got a new home. I'm so glad that people have the capacity and even the instinct to go out and do things that don't benefit THEM at all. They just do it to help another living creature and I think that's awesome.

[@RenegadeTimes]

ReZaHydra- I am not a fan of killing but I am totally on board with not becoming a victim. I am armed in my home. Hopefully I will never need to use it on an intruder but that is simply up to the man who decides to try. I am not pro military as I know far more than the average human being about that. I am suspect of trusting cops at this juncture as having a close friend who it a retired cop said the standards for police has dropped dramatically and we who are paying attention have seen the rise in police abuse. Sexual harrasment included. When they decided "No child left behind" they lowered the standard of achievment. How'd do you think that played out across the board. I do not honor murderer's of the streets nor those working for the state. The men in this video and those out there like them with compassion, sympathy, tenacity and integrity recieve my admiration. The true heros among us.
