The misery of the Podenco ...

... the luckier dogs are saved, like the sweet little creatures in the loving care of Paky (see last post). But there's so much misery, among dogs and humans too who are suffering so badly in this dreadful economic climate. Nevertheless, there's one breed of dog who suffers even when times are good. The Podenco, a noble hunting breed. Used and abused. Thrown away without a thought - and bad as that is, it's a far better fate than some of the torture inflicted on these unfortunates.

Here are some photos sent by Fabienne - sadly this starving dog is just one among so many. Happily we found him and he's now safe in El Refugio. And we hope that with time and care he'll recover and will find his golden basket.
