This is the incredible story of how an abandoned dog who was scared of human contact learned to love again. Prue Barber, the founder of the dog rescue organisation “Mission Paws’ible,” found the puppy that would later be named Murphy on the side of a busy road in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
A skeletal dog who was limping and shaking on the side of the road had an incredible transformation after he was rescued.
The abandoned puppy was found cowering in terror in Bali, Indonesia, and the animal wouldn’t allow humans to come close.
Ms Barber, 40, from Melbourne, had already started rescuing dogs on the holiday island, which has tens of thousands of stray dogs and cats as well as pets – although some of them are kept in horrifying conditions or just left to wander.
She’d helped out at an existing dog charity before starting to rescue animals herself.
An Australian woman who made a desperate effort to save a street dog has started a charity that has helped hundreds of dying strays.
Prue Barber, 40, made the move from Melbourne to Bali with her boyfriend Linus Dean, 43, after a visit inspired her to rescue abandoned dogs.
This innocent girl was found lying in a gutter in Bali, starving, half-dead. Her mouth was taped shut, and her back legs were tied together with a shoelace.
Like so many others, Mo was the victim of the illegal dog meat trade that still operates in Bali. Unlike so many others, Mo was considered lucky. It is believed little Mo fell off the back of the dog meat catcher’s bike and scuttled into a drain, where she hid for two weeks. Thank God.
Michi may look like a gorgeous, cuddly teddy bear, but she didn’t always look this way. When we found Michi, she was wandering the streets of Bali with a life-threatening and painful head injury.
Share the Love is a heartfelt interview series celebrating the everyday heroes behind Bali’s animal rescue movement. These are the solo rescuers — ordinary people doing extraordinary things — who give their time, love, and limited resources to save animals in desperate need.
Through honest and emotional conversations, each interview reveals their personal journeys, the animals they’ve rescued, and how Mission Pawsible’s support has helped them keep going. It’s raw, real, and deeply human — a reminder that The Pack Challenge is built on love, community, and the power of people who simply refuse to give up.
