Have you ever seen an animal suffering and wanted to help? That's what happened to us while traveling in Sri Lanka. This video tells the story of how saving a street dog puppy changed our lives. When we found this beautiful street dog puppy in abandoned, neglected, and covered in ticks in rural Sri Lanka, we couldn't leave him; but bringing him home to Los Angeles proved more difficult than we could have ever imagined. This is the story of our puppy Lanka, known on Instagram as @lucky_lanka, and his amazing journey from the jungle of Sri Lanka to the beaches of Los Angeles.
