Introducing Daihatsu

That’s who!

Updated September 5, 2024

“Who’s this precious little one?” we enquired as a tiny lamb was tenderly handed over into our care. The freshness of whom was smelt and seen in the wetness of the amniotic fluid that still shrouded their trembling body.

“Daihatsu, that’s who,” one team member enthusiastically replied, as we all dived under the bonnet to get the hypothermic baby firing on all cylinders.

With the colostrum thawed, the Bair Hugger heat blanket ready, and the navel clip and iodine prepared, our team once again operated like a well-oiled machine. This was how they had worked throughout this winter’s lambing season.

And soon, it was clear we’d revved up her spirit with love and good mechanics, for in a matter of minutes, this wee lamb was humming along. Downing that liquid gold with the speed and control of F1 racing car ace, Lewis Hamilton.

Our hearts no longer race with concern; they now race with unbridled love, seeing little Daihatsu gambolling about with her besties: Dacia, Navara, Daewoo and Renault. With their Dorset roots running through their veins and sweet-fuzzy faces, they could well be siblings; they all look so much the same.

Watching Diahatsu and her crew thrive under our care and kindness reminds us of the delicate balance of life and the responsibilities we hold as helpers and healers in this world.

But individuals they all are, and seeing their unique and sometimes quirky personalities come to the fore encourages us to zoom in a little more on their lives and our own. Seeing their lives run parallel to our own compels us to ask the question: do we have the right to so thoughtlessly over-ride theirs, simply for a fleeting gastronomic pleasure?

This stoic and heavily fleeced fellow had found his way into a construction area that abutted a cemetery. The magic of teamwork helped bring him to sanctuary.

Skoda, you see, is a sweet little lamb—the sweetest of sweet she is proving to be. She came to us as an orphan at around one week of age.

Life has a way of offering light, even in the darkest moments. And with this, Navara was found and brought to sanctuary

Think of resilience beyond measure, and chances are you are not thinking of a little lamb born without hooves.

Ducati’s journey began when a kind-hearted human heard the commotion made by his fall into a dam.

At just 3 hours old, little Buick is “exceptional by design”. And although his dear mumma may have not realised this, taking her preference and her milk to his sibling, we most certainly do.

In the soft light of a winter’s afternoon, a wildlife rescuer scanned the horizon for any sign of injured kangaroos. It was in this quiet, desolate landscape that SsangYong was found.

It is indeed a miracle of love that both were able to walk out of that dark and stormy night and into kindness, warmth and good nutrition.

At first glance, it was thought Elva was dead in a field. But Elva is very much alive today—and so too is her precious baby.

Renault’s survival is more than just a victory over adversity; it is a symbol of what can be achieved when love and care are extended to the most vulnerable among us.
