00:00Photographer discovers starving puppy on remote island and saves his life
00:11Traveling can obviously be a whole lot of fun
00:13But it can be a bit stressful if you're traveling for business when this man found himself in Belize for
00:19a photography job
00:20He was grateful to get away for a moment to enjoy a picnic
00:23Grab your tissues because what he saw certainly wasn't a picnic. In fact, it brought the man to tears
00:30In December of 2018 Wesley white was traveling in Belize for business with very little free time on his hands
00:36Wesley was looking forward to kayaking to a tiny island in thatch K
00:41When he arrived at the island, he noticed that there was a puppy walking into a deserted fishing shack
00:46Out of the corner of my eye. I saw his tail wagging Wesley said during an interview with the dodo
00:52Sadly the dog was starving to death and would soon perish if Wesley didn't do something to help
00:58My heart exploded out of my chest. He was just waiting for a human to show up
01:03Wrapping the little dog in a pair of swim shorts Wesley put the emaciated dog into the kayak
01:08Well on their way back to thatch K Wesley realized he had less than two days left in Belize
01:13Which meant he had almost no time at all to find a home for the puppy?
01:18Wesley figured if worse come to worse he could bring the dog home with him
01:22Bringing this dog back. I really had no idea if this was going to work out like my heart wanted
01:27it to
01:28At the best. I was like we'll get him home. He'll end up back in Montana with us
01:33Fortunately the employees at the hotel were more than willing to help
01:36Not only did they give the dog a nice meal, but the bartender also located a vet's office on the
01:42mainland
01:43After bringing the dog whose name is now Winston to the vet Wesley found out that he wasn't in too
01:49bad a shape
01:50Winston was found to be infested with mites emaciated and dehydrated
01:54But otherwise his organs were healthy wrote Wesley on Instagram
01:59Sadly Wesley was leaving Belize and only had one more chance to see Winston. It was like giving up my
02:05little puppy all the sudden Wesley said
02:08After Winston received treatment
02:09He was placed into foster care with a woman who kept in contact with Wesley the whole time
02:14Meanwhile, Wesley made a GoFundMe account to help raise money for his new friend
02:19After a month the vet gave his approval for Winston to travel by plane to Dallas, Texas to reunite with
02:25Wesley
02:25They would continue traveling by car from Dallas to Montana
02:30Wesley wondered if the little puppy would remember him is
02:33Even going to remember me well
02:35It takes him just a few moments of sniffing my feet and sniffing my pants
02:39And I think that whatever had implanted on his brain as far as memory just came up
02:44Now that Winston had been reunited with Wesley. He seems to be thriving
02:49Mr.. Winston weighs 36 pounds now 24 pounds heavier than when I found him in December
02:55Having three dogs is a little wild, but I'm loving it wrote Wesley in a post on Facebook
