His story shows us there are some truly great humans out there! Highly recommend grabbing a box of kleenex before hitting play.

Ol boy was born on the streets. Like many street dogs, he had a number of health problems – ticks, wasting, infections and possible cancer.

When a rescue team took Ol Boy in for treatment, they found him laying in his own filth and unable to move. His weakness, however, wasn’t an accident.

Even after treatment, Ol Boy was in a lot of discomfort and had little time left. He did, however, want to die naturally and feel the love and warmth of a home for the first time. So the rescue team granted his wish and let Ol Boy experience something he never had before – love.


Members of the team stuck by his side, giving Ol Boy the care and companionship he had longed for. He had to be given water, as he was too weak to get himself up to drink. The team stood vigil for him, along with some of the other dogs in the home.

By 2am, Ol Boy sat up and had a drink of water for the final time. He finally passed away peacefully at 4am.


Before he died, Ol Boy had shown a beach to his communicator. Upon his passing, the team Ol Boy worked to fulfill his final wish. Ol Boy was cremated and spread his ashes along the beach – where he could finally run free.

A big thank you to the rescue team who allowed Ol Boy the chance to experience the love and understanding that all dogs deserve, even strays.

    It's a shame he got the love he needed so close to the end, but at least he had that and did not die alone in the street. In the end he found some dignity and did not cross the rainbow bridge alone.

    To the kind people who gave him that, know you will see him again in another lifetime.
