My life five years ago is unrecognisable from the one I lead now.
In May 2014, I booked a trip to Sri Lanka for 1. The beaches, sunshine and friendly locals were delightful. However, the only 2 for me was the street dogs. Their soulful eyes 3 me as if asking for help. One dog, I called Tom, 4, appealed to me. He was 5. I asked several local vets (兽医), but despite me offering to 6, none would agree to treat a street dog, because they weren't viewed as 7, which shocked me and I didn't know what to do.
Back home, I couldn't get poor Tom out of my 8. I was desperate to make a real 9. Why not go to Sri Lanka and start 10 these animals? I had some savings, I thought I could 11 for a year, help some dogs and come home. I sold my car and booked my 12 for October 2014.
Landing in Colombo, I 13 straight for Talalla, where I'd met Tom. My first 14 is Joy, who had been bitten by another dog. I 15 her up, and bandaged her. No one had ever seen a bandaged dog before! But I felt so happy to have 16 something when she went back onto the 17, now wagging her tail.
In the blink of an eye I'd been 18 in the country a year, then two—and now over five years have 19. Sri Lanka is my home. Up to now, I have helped around 12,000 street dogs. People have described me as 20, but I get as much back from these dogs as I give them, and I feel so lucky.
