There are many stories that have a sad beginning but end up “happily ever after,” and we all like to read them. Yet, a few of them end up seemingly sad, but leave a smile on our faces as well as a huge impact.
A man named Niall Harbison, a founder of Happy Doggo, had the chance to live just such a story. However, that day, when he met an emaciated stray dog chained up on the street, he could not even dream that he would experience something special with her.
At that moment, he was only thinking about how to help this poor creature.
Miserable Life
When Niall saw a poor chained-up dog, whom he later named Tina, his heart broke. This helpless being was literally skin and bones, which was not a surprise considering that she wasn’t able to move, let alone find something to eat or drink.
Aside from her extreme malnourishment, Tina also suffered from a terrible skin condition, so much so that her fur was almost nonexistent. Because of this, Niall wasn’t even sure what breed she was at first. Only later, he discovered that she was a Golden Retriever.
To make matters worse, according to a TikTok video posted by @happydoggoniall, Tina was used as a “breeding machine” throughout nearly her entire life. That, undoubtedly, left many scars both on her body as well as her soul.
