@NiallHarbison Was your BlueSky account deleted? There seems to be an imposter there with no posts, but the account I followed seems to be gone.

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

The thing about dog lovers is that you can spark up a conversation anywhere in the world about our beautiful 4 legged friends and we all share our love for them.

I was lucky enough to spend 5 minutes with @LewisHamilton today and being socially introverted I just went for the dog chat. It’s funny watching him for a while he was super friendly to everybody but on corporate mode. As soon we were introduced we chatted about dogs I could see everything else fade away. It’s the same as talking to someone on the streets of Thailand who loves their dog or on a beach in Ireland where I’m from. Dogs bring out the best in us all. Just 2 guys talking about how much they loved their dogs.

The general summary of the conversation was that dogs and animals in general are better than humans 🥰

I was so lucky today to see behind the scenes at @MercedesAMGF1 and see how a world class operation works and I just watched and learnt so much. It might be F1 but I was looking at systems and people management and global reach and thinking about what we could do with @wearehappydoggo . I was dreaming a little but that’s what days like this are for. Sitting in the garage watching a pit stop with a team of 40 in the garage isn’t too dissimilar to a busy dog hospital I guess in terms of pressure and teamwork.

People might look at my last 2 days and think “ah he’s got a few followers now and that’s what he wanted to do in the end”. The opposite is true. I changed my flight home while at the track today so I could get home 3 hours earlier flying back tomorrow. I miss the dogs and am so desperate to make change for them. I feel slightly guilty for being away but also inspired and recharged.

I can’t wait to get the flip flops back on and the bike loaded with food in Thailand and help the dogs who need it most. This was a lovely lovely experience and a badly needed recharge but my world is the dogs and I’m aching to get back now.

Not one of the dogs will believe me when I tell them where I’ve been or who I’ve met when I get back. And that’s the beauty of dogs. They won’t care either. They’ll just want a belly rub and be full of love.

Have a lovely Sunday 🥰🙏

A lot more on trying to capture mum tomorrow and the puppies settling in on my insta here…

https://t.co/B8ruKgLn4p

A follow there is greatly appreciated 🥰🙏

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

The rescue has been 8 days in the making. It’ll probably take us another 1-2 to get mum.

Humans haven’t been kind to them so no wonder they are dubious.

Not giving up until they are all safe. Good progress but more to do 🥰 (10/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

The three puppies are all safe with us now. They are absolutely petrified but they had their health checks and all their medicines.

They wouldn’t have survived much longer in the jungle even with mum being a superstar. They’ll all decompress quickly in the coming days (9/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

We worked really hard to try and catch mum but she was just impossible to get.

It’s a bit sad taking her puppies but they are old enough now. Our plan is to come back tomorrow to dart her or give her sedatives. She’s done all the hard work and is well fed (8/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

It took some tricky catching but we got all 3 of them eventually and made sure there were no more.

Normally mum would have had more puppies but it’s possible with the weather they didn’t make it (7/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

This was the first one we found. Unusually they were all super quiet. We’d walked past them so many times on previous visits.

This little boy was terrified but he was happy to come with us in the end (6/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Today we got our lucky break. The puppies had been heard and spotted. Local fruit pickers in the area who are migrant workers guided us there.

The rain had been horrendous. (5/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

I’d been going up for 4 days to bring her food. She won’t let me touch her but she was eating about 6 portions. Enough to regurgitate for the puppies.

She was too smart and wouldn’t go to them until I had left no matter how long I waited. (4/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

7 of us went back up and found mum. We scoured the jungle for 2 hours trying to find them but they weren’t there.

We were especially worried as it’s tropical monsoon season here. Huge rains.

We even got the jeep stuck… (3/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

I first spotted her 8 days ago on a mountain pass when I was driving with little Amalfi.

Its a known spot for dumping dogs as it is remote but I guess people know there is also traffic passing over the mountain (2/10)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Some rescues are so complicated. This one has taken me a week so far and I’m only half way through it.

This mum had been dumped in the jungle because she was pregnant.

This is the complicated but rewarding story of saving her and her puppies (1/10) 🧵

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

I only knew Tina 6 months from start to finish but the book is a story of true love and how one dog or person can try to change the world.

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

The memories of Tina will never fade. She taught me how to live life properly

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

She was the best girl there ever was. The dog that has already changed 100,000s of dogs lives by inspiring me.

I’ve been working very hard late nights to write this book.

📚 You can pre order here…

I poured by absolute heart and soul into this and every single penny I make will go towards her hospital. A pre order helps so much.

It wasn’t easy as I miss her so much but I wanted to do her proud 🥰🙏

[Gideon Neptune @GideonNeptune]

@AreMond2 Send him our love.

Ironically - this gent was so preoccupied with my ovaries he neglected to realize I no longer had my uterus.

The battle to have it removed was another example of the patriarchal misogyny that still exists in medicine. I was treated as an incubator:

Lastly - please don’t demand to know why someone doesn’t have children.

It’s none of your business.

I don’t know why these types of questions and remarks are deemed socially acceptable - but they shouldn’t be.

My body - my choice.

My body - my business.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

We are more than our wombs. More than our ability to be someone’s wife or mother.

We are people with hopes, dreams and passions that may or may not involve children - and being childfree in no way makes us “less than.” /12
