Among the sick pups, one-eyed mam Podenco and the little dogs, there is Bully, a four year old Bullterrier with a serious skindisease. Although his skin is totally red and looks really painful, he is the nothing but friendly.. He is big papa bear for the unwanted pups who are slowly dieing here.. He surrounds them with love and care.. It touches your hart when you see how these animals cope with the situation. They know it! They are not dumb, nor insensitive. Together with mum one-eye Bully is there for the little ones and tries to be the strong one… Mum one-eye is so depressed her little pups can’t drink, she doesn’t has the strength anymore.. Bully tries to stay positive.. It’s really hartbreaking to see… We hope we can save this wonderful dog.. Who helps him get out of the misery?? Who can give this animals a well deserved second chance?

Spring is in the air, beautiful green sceneries as in silent contrast with the misery behind the trees. Animals that suffer daily, thousands of galgo and podenco are killed despite the law that forbids these unnecessary cruelties. It continues, but sometimes there are some lucky ones, who come in our hands and have a future. Vicky is on of them………

Our car loaded with cages, an early morning to the killing station, We have gathered our courage knowing we will come back with a car of lucky sweethearts but must leave behind so many others in need.  And then off we go. Upon arrival at Los barrios we must slow down as the road is damaged by the heavy rain. Hobbly bobbly we approach our destination. Suddenly a brown contrast in the green fresh gras….. a small head that is pointed our way. No doubt there was a podenco out there. Would she come? I sushed the dogs and we looked for our sandwiches to offer……. The small tiny thing was wagging gently her tail in hope and approached, oh yes she wanted to come, her life was saved………

It is a small girl, 1 year old maybe. Both paws show the marks of the cord that had hang her. Her body a skeleton, clearly she had only little time left to survive on her own. A head searching comfort in your arms, despite everything she has been through she is just good and friendly, gratefully eating the beef we offer.
