THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Most people think I save dogs, but really they saved me.
Niall Harbison is a dog hero based in Thailand. He spends his days feeding, caring for and rescuing the many street dogs he comes across. With every rescue there’s a story. Like the sweet gentle McMuffin who was found with many tumours and hours from death, only to be nursed back to health. She now lives with Niall and is a popular member of the pack. Then there is King Whacker – who escaped a vicious attack and is now ruling the nest living up to his name as the king of the all good dogs. And who could resist the puppy eyes of little Rodney, the beautiful dog with big paws who is melting millions of hearts around the world.

Originally from Dublin, Niall was the owner of a successful advertising company. After selling it, he moved to Thailand where his addictions – drugs and alcohol – almost got the better of him. One day he woke up in hospital, close to death, and realised that something had to change. And that was what spurred him on to start saving and helping street dogs. His aim is to help 10,000 street dogs.

This is his story.

‘Hope is a lovely book about someone who has been lucky enough to find his true purpose in life’ Daily Mail

‘…hope in the unlikeliest of places’ Daily Express

‘It’s a gentle poignant read’ Irish Independent

5.0 out of 5 stars Dogs are Angels
Reviewed in the United States on 10 December 2023
This book was incredibly fascinating to read. I actually follow Niall on his social pages, so I knew many of the stories featured in the book, but I ended up learning so much more about his life and the beginnings of his amazing work. I actually bought the audio version as well so I could hear and be fully immersed into his story. I have to confess that it took me almost two months to get through the whole book, not because it was hard to read, but because I could barely get through a page or two without shedding tears-both happy and sad. It’s such an emotional journey and ultimately teaches us all to be kind to dogs, as they are truly angels sent down to help save us from ourselves. I would encourage anyone who is able, to please consider donating in support to his wonderful cause!!

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Un precioso libro para regalar estas Navidades!
Reviewed in Spain on 18 December 2023
Recomiendo totalmente este precioso libro.

No solo narra una maravillosa historia, sino que también transmite un profundo mensaje de amor, de resiliencia, de fe y de esperanza.

"Hope" no es únicamente una magnífica lectura para los amantes de los perros, puede ser apasionante para cualquiera, pues es un gran ejemplo de superación personal.

Además de dar a conocer más profundamente el mundo de los perros y los vínculos que pueden establecerse entre ellos y nosotros e inspirar el respeto, la amabilidad y el amor que merecen estos bellos seres, es un relato acerca de cómo conseguir vencer dificultades y de la maravilla que supone encontrar el sentido de la vida para uno mismo. Asimismo, puede ser especialmente una gran lectura para todas aquellas personas que padecen algún trastorno emocional.

A mí me ha encantado: “Hope” es un tesoro que ha llenado mi corazón y mi mente de buenas emociones, preciosas enseñanzas, valiosas reflexiones y hermosos sentimientos.

Lo recomiendo fervientemente. Es un regalo estupendo para hacerse uno mismo o para obsequiar a alguien. Además, las ganancias obtenidas en la venta de “Hope” se destinan para construir "El Hospital Tina para perros a los que no les va tan bien".
