I randomly stumbled upon Niall's Instagram account almost a year ago (I recommend that you do as well, @niall.harbison). Every day since then, I have followed his adventures. Sometimes, I specifically log in to Instagram or Twitter just to see what's happening in Thailand. When Niall mentioned that he was coming out with a book, I immediately purchased it (all proceeds from this book are donated to build a hospital in memory of Tina). This story really got me. I don't know that a book has ever made me cry so much. I cried so hard that my dog tried to comfort me, which made me cry harder. It was honest, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. Even if you don't follow the dogs online, any dog lover could appreciate this book. If you do follow the dogs online, you will love this so much. The work that Niall does is really just incredible and I really loved listening to his book on audio. Everyone should read this!

P.S. I'm so, so happy that his publishers let him add the extra chapter in about Tina at the end. RIP, sweet baby girl.

Niall's story is inspiring and heartwarming. He writes as he talks. It's not challenging read, nor are there many new ideas presented. But if you follow Niall 's work, you'll like this book.

Truly awesome guy. I've been following him for a while now. Every day I wake up to the dog updates and I check again before I go to bed. Great and easy read. I like his style of writing and appreciate that all proceeds will go to Tina's Hospital for Dogs That Aren't Doing So Good. Well done, Niall

A straightforward, brutally honest story of addiction and rebirth. Niall's mission to save Koh Samui's street dogs and how they in turn saved him is a book well worth a read.
