The city of Bali is full of stray dogs. Many shelters and clinics try to help them and save as many as possible, but they are often overwhelmed. That’s why it’s so important for people to do something as well, like not ignoring wounded animals on the streets and helping them out, if they can, of course.

That’s exactly what this good Samaritan named Aaron did. He saw a wounded, sad and lonely dog on the side of the road and didn’t just drive by. Thanks to Aaron’s kindness and compassion, Homer gets to live a full and happy life in his new forever home. Homer learned to trust and love again, beat cancer, and is now a fluffy, happy pooch.

“Nobody stopped for him. I’m so sorry to bring this story. I don’t like to have to post it as it breaks my heart, but it is the reality here in Bali… If you are squeamish, don’t read on, but I promise this will end as well as it can.”

The dog was dangerously near the streets and very scared of humans

“Driving on the bypass I saw this dog stuck in the central reserve, just sat there. I stopped, desperately worried he’d get hit by a car if I didn’t help. I enlisted the help of some local lads from a tire shop and we managed to spook the dog back onto one side of the road.”
