John Dalley (m): It’s actually given both of us a purpose in life that was maybe lacking. We both thoroughly enjoy what we do despite the fact that we do work at it seven days a week.
It gives you a feeling of fulfillment to know that you’re making a difference in helping these animals.
HOST: Welcome, wonderful viewers, to Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants. Today, we’ll visit Britons Gill and John Dalley, co-founders of the Soi Dog Foundation, a non-profit charitable group that improves the lives of homeless, neglected and abused dogs and cats on the island of Phuket, Thailand. The word 『soi』 in Thai means side street or alley.
Besides operating a nearly two-hectare facility with a shelter and animal hospital, the Foundation actively works to reduce the birth of kittens and puppies that would end up homeless through its spay and neuter program.
