The story dated 3 years back.
Ringo was found with 4 puppies in a field. He was spotted by some school children who came to report to me. They brought me to the site and there and behold were four tiny puppies. There was no mama dog at all. Later I was told that mama dog met with a very unkind fate after she fell into the unkind hands of unkind humans. It is too sad too narrate the truth so I will spare that. Ringo had been a good father and protect the tiny ones. Passers by would leave food for him and the young ones. A few of us managed to nab the puppies and got them rehomed. I took two and one went to a doctor who took the pup for his daughter. The pup name is Pearly and I hope I still can find the photo. Another pup was rehomed to one that stays in my neighbourhood and the name is Money. Two other pups were taken away by another family. This leaves Ringo alone. I continued to feed Ringo for many weeks. One day, he spied and followed me and found me! So I had to bring him to a safe place where there is a make shift shelter. Everyday for two years I fed him and rehomed him. 1st place, he did not like, so I had to bring him back. 2nd place, was to an

elderly couple in a very big bungalow. They loved Ringo so much. Ringo was too proud and stayed under the big mango tree even under rain and shine. He did not want to eat his food and kept Uncle and Aunt Nga so worried. They left the food (chicken rice and good food) but Ringo ate only a little bit only. Aunt Nga called me to take back Ringo as they worried about Ringo’s 2 weeks of “hunger strike”. I called my co-rescuer, Yen and she sent another rescued dog – Patches. Now Patches is with Uncle and Aunt Nga to this date.Ringo is very happy to be back and so does all the people that stays around there. Ringo has a big big field to run and to patrol. He is the official guard dog there and his company are some stray cats that I go and feed every evening.
Lesson to learn in rescue world: Do not undermine the school children. They saved 5 dogs. Do not be dishearten if the rehoming does not work out well, it was meant for another dog and Ringo is happier in its former place and I get to see him vice versa everyday. Here is the picture of Ringo in his vast place .
