I'm thinking about Alba all the time at the moment. As always, I find it almost unbearable to think about how these little creatures end up in such a state at the hands of human beings, so I try not to. In a way, she seems to represent so much that's wrong with how we treat the world, and all its inhabitants human and non-human. So I'm grateful to hear that you've had so many kind and caring responses, and I wanted to thank you and the team for being there for her. We all desperately want her to thrive! 🤍

Oh Laura, I feel the same. I could not have expressed myself any clearer than you have here.

I wake up in the middle of the night, thinking, hoping and praying for Sweet Alba. My thoughts are always for Niall, our hero and the savior of all of these 4-legged lovelies of Thailand.

May the good Lord continue to stretch his loving hand over Niall and also to Sweet Alba. She deserves some happiness and good health for lots more years.

I follow you on all your socials, and I agree with the person who said that they need to know Alba is ok daily. I’ve followed you for a while and been invested emotionally in all dogs that you’ve rescued but for some reason this little girl has resonated with me deeply, as apparently she has for others. I’m praying constantly for her to make it and I weep with every post you send out. I know that whatever happens she’s safe with you and Hank, and that means everything. Thank you for sharing with us and for doing the Very Hard Things to take care of these precious animals. You’re right, their lives are important. Their innocence, their strength and resilience, are worth all that we can do for them. 🐾❤️🐾❤️

So beautifully stated Carla! My days have also been filled so often with thoughts of this beautiful Sweet Alba. Niall is doing the Lord's work. After all dog is God backwards.

Praying that He will bless this Sweet Alba with contining good recuperative health and happiness ahead. Niall could certainly enjoy some of that happiness too. ❤️✝️🙏

As soon as I open my eyes in the morning I check to see how is Alba and I have a sigh of relief to see that she is hanging on and wagging her tail. I wish I could hold her gently in my arms to give her hope and strength. I hold my dogs and i whisper in their ears Alba's story and my dogs are sending her a lot of positive vibes and strength. Thank you so much Niall and friends for doing all you can for such a beautiful soul full of resilience. Love her. Merci 💓.

Alba has a quiet strength she shows in her tail wags and in her eyes, I am praying hard that she will see many more sunrises and get better day by day. The work you do, Niall, is good work as John Lewis said of the work for civil rights, I think of this in that same league. You are leading the fight with Alba and Tina for those without voices, the rights of all those dogs who are in situations of poor welfare - and sterilising dogs who are feral is absolutely the right answer to ending so many dogs winding up in this condition. It is good work, righteous work. Thank you.

Crying happy tears reading this update today. Alba, much like the very beloved Tina, has struck a cord with people. There’s genuinely a worldwide collective desire for little Alba to live 🥰 I prepare myself for the worst news every day particularly in the first few days but my heart bursts with happiness when I watch the reels of this beautiful little girl, her tail wags are just the best 🥰♥️🥰 💚🤍🧡

Although very frail, she really is a beauty. There’s something so gentle and trusting about her, especially given how hard her life must have been. She’s a special little dog. Lovely to see her tail wags as she eats and gets stroked at last. Seeing big soft Nurse Hank watch over her makes my day too. Great work, Niall.

Alba is on my mind the moment I get up and, I anxiously check the news on your site. She signifies beauty, resilience and a will to live. Thank you for all you do for her and all the other wonderful dogs, past and present and wishing you well for the future to maintain the strength you need, mentally and physically to look after all these beautiful creatures. Good luck and am thinking of you all.

Thanks for this Niall! I cannot imagine how hard this must be. I’m so glad you can help us all see the positives in these cases. Love to you all!

I'm exactly the same. My first move on the phone is to tap on Neills page for all the updates. Especially Alba at the moment! She's a survivor and deserves care and love ,as all the dogs !!! And of course also the Carers !!! You're doing so much, work with kindness 🥰❤️👌🙋‍♀️

Before going walking every morning at 6am I check your post to see if Alba is still with us. Cannot believe a human being could live with seeing a dog in such an awful condition. Can only hope karma will get them. With the love and treatment she is getting from you guys she has the best chance of making it. Stay strong Alba and you Niall

Thank you Niall for finding the extra push to take the time to update here and express your own thoughts - Alba has indeed brought people together just like Tina and so many before her and doubtless to come into your care - ❤️❤️❤️ routing everyday for you Alba - keep yourself in check too Niall as you say the emotional and mental toll must be enormous. Everyday you and the dogs make my day Niall just can’t express how much I think of you and the team and all the dogs at HD ❤️🐾
