A man who's dedicating his life to rescuing street dogs in Thailand after a brush with death has been updating pooch lovers with a touching story about a very ill dog whose life hangs in the balance - with followers hoping she will survive. Niall Harbison, a recovering alcoholic who's originally from Ireland but now lives in the Far Eastern country, lives with around 80 dogs and plans to one day help 10,000 street dogs a month.

He previously told MailOnline that he vowed to change his life after being admitted to intensive care following a drinking binge sparked by depression and anxiety. Harbison spends thousands of dollars every month on keeping his dog sanctuary, Happy Doggo running, alongside crowdfunding via his social media platforms, with donations helping to pay for veterinary care of the dogs that come his way.
His Instagram account has gone from just 800 followers two years ago to 1.2million today - with fans keen to see content on how he's transforming the lives of the dogs he's coming into contact with. He explained how he began rescuing street dogs after he almost lost his life to alcohol abuse. 'I started the mission after ending up in ICU in hospital. I nearly drank myself to death because I suffered from anxiety and depression. I spent three days there and when nearly dying I vowed to change my life and do something meaningful.
