    _ 
    Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.  
    It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand. 
    When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more. 
    He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail. 
    From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped. 
    This is her story. 
    For fans of Craig Borlase (A Mission Without Borders), Dean Karnazes (Ultramarathon Man), Alex Tresniowski (Saved), Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me), and Noel Fitzpatrick (Dogs and Their Humans).

    This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome, dear reader, to a journey through the annals of time, where the threads of history weave together to reveal the remarkable tale of Emperor Yao. As we embark on this adventure, we shall traverse the vast landscapes of ancient China, unearthing the legacy of a man who stands as one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, a luminary figure whose virtues illuminated an era long past. Imagine, if you will, the distant mists of antiquity, when empires were yet to be forged, and civilizations were in their tender infancy. In this age of wonder and discovery, Emperor Yao emerged, leaving an indelible mark upon the tapestry of humanity. Our journey commences by peering through the mists of time, into the heart of ancient China. This storied land, replete with emerald valleys and winding rivers, was a cradle of culture, innovation, and aspirations. Here, amidst the rustling leaves and flowing waters, Emperor Yao's story unfurls.
