In 2006, while Sam Green was visiting Sri Lanka, she came across a street dog that seemed minutes away from death. She wasn't able to walk away from the dog (who she later named, Mango) and instead, got to work contacting vets and animal experts and paying for the dog to receive the medical attention it needed.
That was the birth of what would become Dogstar Foundation. An organisation that, in the following 14 years, has become one of the most innovative, impactful and expertly run dog population management projects in the world today.
Sam and Mark chat to us about the traumatic events that took Sam to Sri Lanka in the first place, their desire to want to do more to help the dogs they saw suffering, how that led to them building an organisation, and some of the lessons they learned along the way.
