Some puppies begin life surrounded by people who can’t wait to watch them grow. Others begin life wondering whether anyone will stop to help. Toby belonged to the second group. He was only five months old when someone abandoned him outside a small local warung. Weak, severely malnourished, and barely able to stand, the tiny…

Some neglected dogs are found wandering the streets. Others never leave the place where they are suffering. Their pain remains hidden behind the walls of a home until someone finally notices that something is terribly wrong. That was the reality for a gentle dog who would later be named Disney.
