Pilar - please, please help her.



Pilar - such a sweetheart

Every time the phone rings and I see an unknown number I'm suspicious. I hestitate to answer. Should I just leave it? But you answer anway and then it begins - "We found a dog. We are on holiday. No one wans to help her. The police say to take her to the killing station but we don't want to do that because they will kill her. She is very small, barely knee high. Please will you help us?"

This sort of thing goes on all through the summer. this time it is German tourists who are staying up behind Velez Malaga, which is a serious distance from us. I explained to them that we were full, etc, that they should look for a rescue organisation in their neighborhood. Then the woman began to weep ... the crying was so bad that I thought "well, maybe we could take a little one."

And then they arrived and what do you think! This was certainly her own dog, because Pilar put her two paws round her and clung to her, trembling and afraid, she saw the whole refugio and all the dogs running towards them. This was not a lost dog and not a little dog either. She was 53 cm. The woman cried her crocodile tears - we stayed quiet! Pilar was obviously attached to her owner who denied being her owner and repudiated her!

Pilar's body language was more than clear. How can you do this? The woman walked away crying but for Pilar it was much, much worse. She was really in shock, the poor darling. Anyway, she is with us now, will have to adapt and then we'll see. She is very sweet ...

Her life has taken a different turn and the so called tourist will be somewhere on a terrace with one less problem to deal with !!!
