Sometimes they can get themselves into tricky situations and without anyone watching over them they only have themselves to depend on.

For Winston, he was already homeless and hungry when he got himself into a situation that could have meant the end of the road.

Thankfully a guardian angel turned up to rescue him.

Photographer Wesley White was visiting the beautiful country of Belize, in Central America, on a work trip.

Surrounded by white sands and blue skies there was so much beauty to capture on camera.

Visited a remote island
The keen traveler decided to kayak from his hotel to the tiny remote island with no idea what he was about to discover.

He looked for a good spot to do some fishing, thinking he was all alone.

But instead he found an emaciated puppy lying on an unoccupied fishing shack.

He was in such a bad way Wesley knew he was close to death,

“Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his tail wagging,” Wesley told The Dodo.

“My heart exploded out of my chest,” he said. “He was just waiting for a human to show up.”

He knew he had to act quickly if he was to save this poor creature, so he wrapped him in a pair of swimming trunks and took him back to the mainland.

Wesley only had two days left on his trip and was concerned as to whether he could save him in time.
