The good news is we’ve managed to save his face. The vets believe it will continue to close. They will also do a small procedure and maybe some skin graft to close it fully. Probably the hardest rescue ever but we’ll get him back to his beautiful best eventually ❤️ (7/7)

Our team swung into action again and we darted Apollo. He clearly doesn’t want to be with us but he needs his Chemo to cure his cancer. It will be a 6 week process and we will have to keep him very very secure (6/7)

We were stunned to get a call from the lady who has fed Apollo for years on the streets. He had traveled 10 miles across the island via the jungle to where she fed him. He was at home with his pack in his area. (5/7)

Apollo was in isolation and started getting worked up wanting to leave as he started feeling better. One day he bit me in panic and nearly escaped. 2 days later same thing happened with another team member and he did escape. We lost him for a week (4/7)

Our medical team worked for weeks. We found out it was a treatable cancer. It was a huge team effort and we started to see huge progress but then it all went bad… (3/7)

He is a wild street dog. It took us a week to catch him as he was so scared. We got him just in time. An injury on his nose was being eaten alive by maggots. I didn’t know if there was much we could do… (2/7)

We rescued Apollo 7 weeks ago. To say it has been complicated would be an understatement but we have some unbelievable progress now… (1/7) 🧵

My confidence and self worth haven’t been great lately and I just wanted to say thats ok so other people who suffer with depression or anxiety know that it’s ok to feel like that. I’m CEO of Happy Doggo and most people in positions like mine have to hide stuff like this. Most people in all positions In life do actually. It’s really hard to admit you don’t feel the best about yourself. That’s why I just write it down as I feel because maybe it’ll help someone. Between our team, partners and everything wrapped up in what I do there are probably 100+ people who rely on me. Add in social media, donors and everything else and that’s a massive happy facade to keep up. I’ve learnt though that it’s ok to say you are not ok. At the moment I’m going through the motions. Still working hard and trying my best but I feel a bit worthless. No self worth at all. I also have imposter syndrome. I know I can jus read the comments here or look at the dogs saved and I should be happy but it doesn’t bring me anything. I look in the mirror at the moment and can’t even really look at myself. No particular reason or spark for this. As people who suffer know it just comes in a dark wave like a fog. I could easily share some happy dog photos and smile and pretend I felt amazing. But I’d rather be honest and try to help others. I have untold amounts of support and good luck that many of you dont. So if you're feeling down or a little rough right now, that's okay because so am I, and it's absolutely fine to say that. Have a lovely weekend and be kind to each other ❤️

Senator Wyden found JPMorgan Chase failed to report over $1 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein. He asked Treasury Secretary Bessent for the records. Bessent refuses. DOJ is blocking the files. Treasury is blocking the money trail.

This is Kharkiv. 15 km from the frontline. Still one of the most alive cities I know.

Italy’s defence minister confirms our reporting today that Europe’s biggest naval powers won’t begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz until the conflict ends: “No war mission. No entry into Hormuz without a truce and without an extended multilateral initiative.”

Four years of Miss Mzinga. Rescued in February 2022, this little orphan was a hard-won success story. Keepers like Peter (seen here) devoted themselves to her care, day and night, to shepherd her through her fragile infancy. Peter also took the second clip just last week – you'll see, Mzinga is already reaching great heights and often looks out for the younger herd. When newbie Alia was left behind as the herd moved on last month, kind Mzinga chose to stay back with her like the "big sister" she is. Despite all she has overcome, Mzinga's story is just beginning. To learn how you can support her journey back to the wild through an adoption, visit: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/mzinga
