Does traveling by plane, helicopter or hot air balloon make you nervous? For 10-year-old Oscar the dog, it's a way of life. Oscar has traveled to more than 30 countries in the past 3 years, a feat many people have yet to accomplish in one lifetime. But Oscar is on a mission! He travels to save the lives of stray dogs worldwide by bringing attention to their plight. It all started when Joanne Lefson from Johannesburg, South Africa rescued Oscar from a South-African kennel eight years ago.

It's a miracle he's still even alive though. If I hadn't gone to the kennel that fateful day Oscar would have had one more day left and would have been put down.” - Joanne Lefson





According to the Daily Mail UK, Lefson said “It's a miracle he's still even alive though. If I hadn't gone to the kennel that fateful day Oscar would have had one more day left and would have been put down. When I discovered what a wonderful dog Oscar was it broke my heart to think how many Oscars are still out there and simply just don't get that second chance. I want to change perceptions of shelter dogs being old, abused and disturbed animals. Nothing could be further from the truth.”
