This Japanese man gave up his Ferrari and Company to fund a dog shelter after his pet saved him from taking his own life 🥹 A 54-year-old man named Hirotaka Saito shut down his company and sold his luxury car to open a shelter for dogs. It happened after his own pet saved his life. Saito sold his Ferrari to buy land and build Wansfree, a shelter where dogs are free from chains. It now houses 40 dogs and eight cats. He hopes to raise funds and expand the shelter to 300 dogs by 2028. Years ago, during a financial crisis, Saito tried to end his life. His large dog blocked the door and stopped him from leaving. He realized the dog understood and was stopping him. This changed his mind, and he chose to live for others. He began rescuing aggressive dogs in Japan. Despite being bitten often, Saito patiently showed them love, never giving up on any of them. He started the Wansfree rescue center in Yaizu. It cares for dogs that bite or act out due to past abuse. The shelter is free and supports dogs that most people find too difficult to handle.
