It\u2019s February 15 and Florian Biela is on his way to work when he spots a dog in distress at the side of the road. \u201cI thought some\u00adthing was wrong with him,\u201d he recalls. Without further ado, he gives the dog some\u00adthing to drink and real\u00adizes that the golden retriever urgently needs help! Biela decides to look after him and takes him to the vet. \u201cHe was diag\u00adnosed with multiple issues, including a narrowed urethra, bladder stones and a tumor. The smallest problem was a skin infec\u00adtion which left him with bald patches all over his body,\u201d Biela says looking back.<\/p>\n

Da Tou was not doing well at all when Florian Biela found him.<\/p><\/div>\n

After numerous exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtions and a five-hour oper\u00ada\u00adtion, the patient is safe for the time being. But the vet bill is equiv\u00ada\u00adlent to almost 3,500 euros. To cover this consid\u00ader\u00adable sum, Biela and his friends set up a fundraising campaign to secure the golden retriever\u2019s medical care. After two weeks in the veteri\u00adnary clinic, the dog is allowed to go to his new home: with Florian Biela. Today, the poor animal from back then is called Da Tou, which means \u201cbig head\u201d in Chinese: and it really is big compared to his other\u00adwise slender build. Da Tou and his master are insep\u00ada\u00adrable \u2013 and passionate two-wheeler fans: \u201cDa Tou is rather a quiet dog, but he does love to ride along with me on the scooter!\u201d says Biela. The 34-year-old always has had a soft spot for dogs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s nice to see how your work gives animals a better life.<\/p>\n

Da Tou\u2019s story is sadly all too common. That\u2019s why his owner has been campaigning for street dogs in China for four years. He now works with like-minded people from Shanghai Animal Rescue. \u201cThis is a German network in Shanghai that also runs its own shel\u00adters for dogs. Around 120 dogs are currently housed there,\u201d explains Biela.<\/p>\n

A large part of his \u201cmission\u201d consists of flying to Germany with the aban\u00addoned dogs. There are more animal shel\u00adters here which also receive finan\u00adcial support from the state. In addi\u00adtion to his work as a dog flight atten\u00addant, Biela also helps find new homes for stray dogs. \u201cI once took a husky with me on a plane and he is now living happily in Sweden. It\u2019s nice to see how your work makes a differ\u00adence and gives animals a better life.\u201d Da Tou can only nod his big head in agree\u00adment.<\/p>\n
