Summary

A street dog named Snickers rescued from a Thai jungle after a year on the streets is adjusting to life in a safe home with other rescue dogs. Over her first 48 hours, she bonded with another dog named Teddy and quickly learned to play fetch, showing resilience and a natural capacity for kindness despite her difficult past.

    This was how I first discovered Snickers up in a jungle shack here in Thailand. After a year on the streets she has been with us for 48 hours safe. Today she was learning how to be a normal dog without any worries about survival… (1/8) 🧵

    She starting bringing me a daily gift at about 4 months old. I don’t know where she learnt the kindness. I guess she was just born with it 🥰 (2/8)

    It’s not easy to integrate a dog into a pack. I’ve put her in with 5 soft and sick girls who are all fairly calm. Also there was the biggest softie of all Teddy who was back visiting for the day. He’s also still a puppy so he said he’d intro Snickers to some games (3/8)

    Snickers was a bit lost for the first 24 hours just quietly hiding trying to blend in. Like a kid on the very first day of school. She quickly latched on to Teddy. You can actually see Teddy showing her and encouraging her here (4/8)

    Snickers has never played fetch in her life. As a street dog she was too busy avoiding dangers like big trucks to ever be able to relax. It only took her about 10 minutes of Teddy teaching her to learn how to bring the ball back. A beautiful moment (5/8)

    It’s always so hard to tell which dogs will hit it off as friends but these 2 just clicked instantly. Teddys family are away for 3 days so he will be back tomorrow as well. They were both exhausted but Snickers says she can’t wait for tomorrow already (6/8)

    Snickers says it was all a bit worrying at first this big new world. She’d never been outside the jungle before so this was all new to her. She’s in with 3 legged Candy, Marshmallow, Coco Chanel, Butterscotch and Teddy who all had horrible starts in life. A happy gang (7/8)

    Little Snickers has come a long way not only in the last year but also in the last 2 days. Tomorrow will be leash training and meeting some more humans and maybe even going up on the website for adoption. One of the best little girls there ever was 🥰 (8/8)
