Trip Reports - Photo report of trip to Taiwan to rescue six puppies

3 months ago, I had a trip for rescuing six puppies from Taiwan to the United States. Then, good things happened. I got chances to do VDB. I not only got free tickets but also got free Chicago tour. I believed that the good luck was from the puppies. (not from the "coins" :p)

Interesting. I work with an animal rescue here, but hadn't heard of one that crosses international borders before.

Thanks for the link to the photos.

I'm very curious as to how expensive tickets for a longhaul international flight could be considered value for money when it comes to the lives of animals. Surely the money could have saved far more local animals and done proportionally better good close to home?

I'm sure there must be some reason behind this - are the tickets donated thru airmiles or something? Even so..

Looking forward to hearing the justifications.

Thanks for sharing! There are plenty of absolutely fantastic photos in there! I take it you really know what you are doing with a camera!

Now that's a trip report. Cute puppies and lots of food photos! ^

The rescue group does not purchase tickets for people to bring the animals to new homes in the US. People who are traveling to San Francisco anyway agree to fly with the animals.

Simple put what an awesome idea for saving animals.
