Photographer rescues dog from a deserted island and gives him a second chance at life

With only 36 hours left until he leaves Belize, photographer Wesley White found himself during a tugging situation that afterward changed two lives. One was his and therefore the other was the dog he found stranded on alittle desert island.

Wesley, originally from Montana was on a business trip to Belize. He managed to squeeze in some free time in between so he decided to travel kayaking to an inhabited island shortly faraway from the resort he was staying at in Isala St.Dangriga.

He received the tiny island, and docked near a mangrove swamp for a few shade. As he was documenting the breathtaking view of the pristine water and sky around him, his eye caught the figure of a thin animal making its way towards him.




It clothed to be a dog, severely emaciate and malnourished. the small survivor still managed to wag his tail at Wesley despite having lost all of his furs, with ribs protruding his wounded skin. Perhaps he was finally happy to ascertain a person's after having to survive alone call at the center of nowhere.

Wesley was stunned on where was the dog from and the way he ended up there within the open ocean. quite that, he was devastated at the condition of the poor dog. It didn’t take him long to form the proper decision. He placed the dog in his kayak and went all the way back to Thatch Caye Resort.

“When I brought this dog back, i actually had no idea how it had been getting to be. At best, I told myself, I’m getting to take him home and he will live safely in Montana with me,” he shared.

Back at the resort, Wesley gave Winston (that was the name he gave the dog) a much-needed meal. Winston must are starving because he ate it all up so quick and went on to require a nap.




Wesley let him rest before transporting him to the Stann Creek veterinary hospital during a boat. the skinny dog was examined and located to be infested with mites. He was dehydrated and emaciated. Thankfully, his organs were still healthy despite his condition.

“We would be grateful for all the assistance and that we will still publish updates on the progress of this brave Canis Minor ,” he wrote on his GoFundMe page asking donations to hide the expenses for Winston’s recovery.

The next morning. Wesley had to return to Montana leaving Winston behind with an important heart. because of the generosity of kind people, Winston’s whole shebang was purchased and he was placed in care at the Placencia Humane Society.


Then the day Wesley was expecting arrived. Winston was approved to visit Dallas, where Wesley picked him up from.



“It only took him a couple of moments to smell me and recognize me, i feel what happened on the island was etched in his memory,” he recalled of the time they met at the airport.


Now, almost a year later, Winston is not any longer the thin frail dog that he was. He lives with Wesley and his two other dogs, Bell and Anna. He has two best friends and a person's companion who gave him a second chance at life.
