Lad Devotes Life To Saving Elderly Dogs Who May Not Have Been Adopted Otherwise

Steve Greig is trying to make his own little impression on the world by adopting as many senior animals as possible - animals who would otherwise struggle to find a home.

For obvious reasons, people usually choose to adopt younger dogs.

Luckily, Steve has a large house. He says that every animal deserves a chance at happiness; the first time he went to adopt a dog, he purposely looked for the one who he thought had the least chance of being adopted.

He currently has ten dogs, a pig (called Bikini), two ducks, pigeons, cats and some chickens.

You can follow his story via his Instagram account which is absolutely brilliant.

Steve told The Chive: "You kind of know what you want out of life once you hit a certain age. These dogs know who they are, and it's easy to develop a relationship with a person or pet who knows who they are."
