Spreading the word ...

A little while ago, through Twitter, I met Sally Cronin, who lives in Madrid. She is a writer and also loves animals. She very generously invited me to write a guest post for her blog, telling her readers about A.C.E., the dogs, and the wonderful work done by Fabienne, Dirk, Ton and every single one of our wonderful workers, volunteers, adopting and fostering families. The organisation could not exist without them all. 

Reina Sofia - she could barely walk another step.

Writing the post took some time, but not nearly as much time as sourcing the photos, as they were scattered about between blogs and the databases. Sally particularly wanted to show 'before' and 'after' photographs as these show so graphically the difference A.C.E. makes physically, and even mentally too. Though a picture won't necessarily convey the change in a broken, defeated dog who arrives at El Refugio and that same dog weeks or months later, confident, happy and loved.

Love and care transformed her into this noble, beautiful creature.

I hope you will visit Sally's blog -  and read the full story.  There is also a lot of interesting material on her blog. She updates it two or three times a day and writes about her books, about health, animals and much more.
