Niall Harbison @niallharbison.bsky.social · 20d Sonny's old family abandoned him and he waited forever for them to come back home, but they never did. After we built him back up and got him healthy, he now has a new family, and as you can see, he could not be happier. This beautiful boy fully deserves

Those people deserve to be in prison for the rest of their lives-- maybe then assholes would stop abandoning their pets!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
He looks amazing! I can never imagine how anyone could do this. Fantastic to see he has the life he deserves now. 🥰
Nothing makes me happier than seeing these turnarounds, except cuddling my own little ones, which I am going to do now ❤️🐾
My boy must know when I watch Niall's videos as he routinely gets subjected to hugs after I've watched them. Rescue lurchers make the best co-workers-from-home.
♥️🐶♥️
My deepest thanks 😊
Such a beautiful, happy baby. Thank you for giving him the love and companionship he deserves. ❤️.
humans who abandon their animals are selfish and horrible and there should be a registry available to all, about animal abandonment and that such people should never have pets again.
God bless you
Another joy to see a waggy tail & a happy face. What a difference you have all made to Sonny’s life - rescuers, providing care to build him up & his family. Thank you all 🌹
There’s a special place in heaven for you and others like you who are committed to this work!❤️
Thank you for rescuing Sonny. He looks like such a happy boy now. This broke my heart. Dogs are so loving, I do not know how people can be so cruel. 💔
Thank you for love and kindness!
❤️
Niall, 👍❤️
How can people do stuff like this. So horrible

Bless you for bringing him back to the living.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So many dogs are miserable and languish in county shelters. Thank you for taking one in and posting this inspirational reel.
Dogs are the best friend 🧡 🐕💕
♥️♥️♥️♥️
His old family should be in jail for animal abuse.
How fantastic, thank you!❤️❤️
oh soooooo sad
Thanks, Niall. A tremendous post. All my love to Sonny and his special parents with golden hearts. They understand and act. We need more people like your new family. Enjoy life and love, Sonny.
GOD BLESS YOU NIALL !
Dogs are so forgiving......💕💕
I never understood ppl who abandon pets. It's awful. They don;t understand what happened why you left or why you don't want them any more.
Happy life ❤️❤️❤️
It's so good to see his happy ending.
After my heart broke for “old” Niall, your video of “new” Sonny mended it, and I can’t stop smiling and thinking about how you turned his living hell into Nirvana! Good , good boy Sonny, such a wonderful turnaround with a lovely, lovely home and family!
He found himself a beautiful slice of heaven. Sonny is happy and safe
It always kills me to see how ashamed dogs look. The fault isn't theirs.
This is love.🐾💕
some people are born with no souls. kindness is everything. thankyou.
❤️👍
Thank goodness for people like you!
Our boy, Larry, says Hi. Glad to see he's got a loving family, too. Larry has lots of stories to tell Sonny about life on the street in New Mexico.
Sonny, so happy you found a loving family.❤️
So grateful to you for all you do.
May Karma pursue those people forever. What a wonderful dog! Blessed be the rescuers. 😇❤️
Well done!
I don’t understand how a family can abandon an affectionate animal that depends on them for their survival.
I can never have too many happy stories with Happy Doggo endings. Thank you guys for all you do for our little furry friends. 🤗
People who abandon animals bring out the worst in me!😡😡😡
Seeing beautiful Sonny so happy gives me unbelievable joy! Just brilliant 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lucky boy
It’s so amazing how they totally transform into such beautiful Doggo. I think not Niall you and your team must be able to see what they’re going to look like thank you. You are Earth Angels!😇
Damn. Poor Sonny. He looked so sad at the beginning. THANK YOU for saving him, nursing him back to health, and finding him a home. We should all be so lucky. ❤️✨️
Thank you 😊
What a sweet boy! Glad to see Sonny having his day in the sun!🌞 Bless you 🙏 ♥️
You’re amazing thank you
THANK YOU for another wonderful success story!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Horrid people x2000. Hope you found them for prosecution for animal abuse. Needs to stop.
I can't imagined the confusion and emotional hurt Sonny experienced. He doubtlessly gave that family his total love and devotion.
So glad he recovered from the trauma of abandonment!
The Sonny video is definitely one of my faves.
wow you really cleaned up the place
Awwwww❤️
I’m not crying💕🙀
I hate people…
May all dogs get their happily ever after
There’s a special place in the deepest part of Hell for people who abandon their pets.
Happy Tails.
💯💙💯🤗💯🙏
God bless you!
❤️🙏 Thank you for all you do for Sonny and the others like him. 🙏❤️
Thank YOU 🥰🥰 Is old family needs to rot on HELL for eternity Thank YOU 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
🥰🐾 Rescue dogs are the best!
I really don't understand how anyone could abandon a Dog, cat, Horse, human or any kind of animal (except insects... No thank you)
Living his best life, as he deserves 🥹
There is a special place in hell for those who abandon their pets.
You have a heart I’m so glad you got that dog
a life of snoozles and car rides and beaches and friends and puzzling cats!
Not the same dog, you people are exhausting.
Why do humans just abandon things, especially their own children I’ll never understand.
I am overjoyed for Sonny! Thank you for caring! 💞
Seeing the “before” picture is so incredibly sad. I hope they prosecuted the people who just left Sonny. “Kudos” doesn’t seem appropriate, but I don’t know what else to say to the people who saved him. Obviously a wonderful dog. Hope he’s happy & healthy. Handsome devil, too!
Moving to Thailand. You are the dude I want to work with..........................
💨❤️🙏
Thank you and karma for those bastards who left him 😡
great work his forever home
Another well done for you and the team
What a wonderful ending for sweet Sonny!
Oh, thank you for showing that. Tears have appeared!! So effing happy for him! 😎 I will never understand why people who DON'T LIKE DOGS have them and give them miserable lives. WTF?? Why?
Absolutely amazing! ❤️
to see them playing with a toy gets me every time. From surviving to thriving!
Loyalty, that's why I love dogs. 🐶🥰
There is nothing better than seeing a former outside dog on a plush, cozy couch or bed!
You healed a broken heart. You are earth angels.
Wonderful
Did his family abandon him or were they deported by ICE without any chance to take care of their dog, like happens to more families and their dogs?
My gosh that last scene ♥️. We adopted a rescue dog 2 yrs ago who, we came to see, had huge trauma in her past. It was sad and hard. But we all loved each other. Very lucky I’d learned lessons from Niall - time, reassurance, affirmation. Love. She is well now - and drifts off just like Sonny 💜
HUMANITY
Dogs are so faithful they’ll wait forever for their humans to come back for them, luckily for Sonny someone else took him in and gave him a chance to live with better humans than his previous ones. He’s living his best life now ❤️
He's beautiful. ❤️
Stop showing the before. Concentrate on the after. Many of us are carrying enough sadness already. Please think about the audience before posting.
Hope the ones who deserted Sonny got hit with Animal Cruelty charges with a big fat fine
If we can only do this for the kids in Gaza, but that fucker in Israel is stopping us
Niall Harbison is responsible for more happy endings than Disney. Bless him for every one of them.
what a perfect puppy i love him
He’s a gorgeous boy… who could want to be harmful to him? 🐕❤️
There is a special place in hell for people who abandon their pets.
🙏
Beautiful boy is right! Well done. Keep.spoling that little cutie pie. 😻
❤️
❤️❤️🩹🐾🐾
❤️🐶
Yaayyy, Sonny!! Woohoo!
Anyone who abandons an animal should go to prison! 🤬
Sonny is living his best life and I am so glad he was able to adjust so well to his he new family. Beautiful boy. 🦴❤️🦴
Sonny's story broke my heart. To see his unconditional love betrayed in such a cold and brutal way was unspeakable. I felt so sad for him and how he must have felt. He *so* deserves all the love he has now. I hope he lives for years and years in this very happy place. ❤️
You are an amazing human being, Niall. If everyone were like you this world would be a much better place for all
Look at gorgeous Sonny go, so full of life, so playful. He got his much deserved Happy Doggo blessing, I love seeing him so happy in his forever home 💖💖💖
So happy for him! Thank you for all your work.
Living the good life that Every Good Boy deserves.

You are a beautiful person , thank you so much for the work you do. Joy you bring to these poor angels.
A life so beautiful, even in dreams he couldn't have imagined it. My heart is soaring for Sonny's joy! Yay for Happy Doggo and for Sonny's lovely new family. Miracles and magic bloom from seeds of love and kindness.
What is wrong with people?
I could never abandon, abuse or neglect my furbabies, I love them too much and they're like my children. So glad Sonny has a new and better loving family and home
I absolutely hate people who do this too a beautiful animal!
