Alba’s story began when Harbison found the young dog severely malnourished and ill, battling heartworm and anemia. Despite the challenges, Niall and his team dedicated themselves entirely to her recovery. With the help of Hank, a nurse dog who became Alba’s faithful companion, she began to show signs of improvement, bringing hope to all around her.
For 14 days, Alba lived surrounded by care and affection, experiencing moments she had never known before, such as watching the sunrise and sunset in freedom. Despite tireless efforts to save her, Alba passed away. Her death, however, was marked by a special gesture: Harbison scattered her ashes on a hill where she could “forever watch the sunrise and sunset,” symbolizing her freedom and final peace.

The Song That Marked Her Journey
In a touching video shared on social media, Harbison revealed the song he used to play for Alba while accompanying her to watch the sunrise and sunset. He encouraged people to play it at full volume and imagine Alba’s tail wagging happily, as it did until her last moment.
“I would love for people to play it and think of Alba happily wagging her tail. Her tail didn’t stop even this morning. Just happy thoughts. Hold your dogs close. Take an extra walk. Watch the sunset this weekend,” Harbison said in his tribute.
