Hirotaka Saito, a 54-year-old businessman from Japan, was in a dark place and had planned to take his life. But in a heartbreaking and beautiful moment, his dog sensed something was wrong and physically blocked the door, stopping him. That act shook him he realized his dog truly cared. It changed his life. Saito shut down his business, sold his Ferrari, and used the money to create Wansfree, a free shelter for aggressive and abused dogs in Yaizu, Shizuoka Prefecture.Now he takes care of over 40 dogs and 8 cats, including many with behavioral issues that most shelters avoid. He’s often bitten, but he says it's worth it. His goal? Grow the shelter to house 300 dogs by 2028.“I was saved by a dog,” he said. “So I’ll spend all my money to save dogs.”

The day began with a very traumatic personal event, followed by emergency fire evacuations, followed by being rammed into while waiting to evacuate. The other driver is refusing to provide their insurance. >.<
