Wesley White, a photographer, was on a business trip to Belize and was eager to capture the stunning island through his camera lens. Despite having minimal leisure time, he was enthusiastic about making the most of his trip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the initial day of his trip, he opted to kayak to a minuscule island located in Thatch Caye. Upon reaching the island, he observed a famished canine meandering towards an abandoned fishing hut. Despite being skin and bones, the dog was amiable. “I glimpsed his tail wagging out of the corner of my eye,” Wesley recounted to The Dodo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wesley shouted out for help but there was no one in the fishing shack. He realized that the dog was in a critical condition and needed immediate help. Therefore, he carefully lifted the dog into his kayak and paddled back to his hotel. He knew that if he didn’t intervene, the dog’s health would continue to deteriorate until it starved to death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Upon arriving at the hotel, Wesley immediately sought assistance for the starving dog. Fortunately, the hotel staff and guests came to the dog’s aid, providing him with food and taking him to see a veterinarian. Unfortunately, Wesley was unable to spend much time with the dog as he only had a limited stay in Belize, with just 36 hours until his departure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The veterinarian stayed in touch with Wesley and informed him that the dog was on the road to recovery and would soon be placed in a foster home. Following two months in foster care, Wesley arranged for the dog to be flown to Dallas to be reunited with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
