DAMIANO and DANILA - true friendship!

Damiano

 

Danila

They were both dumped at the entrance of our Refugio.  A slightly older dog tied to a chain; he was unable to move and sat looking around anxiously. His companion Danila, was sitting beside him without a lead, and not tied up.When we were taking the older dog into the Refugio, Danila did not leave him for a moment. She continued to walk beside him and walked right into the refugio with us.

She is a very likeable dog and has a sympathetic, slightly timid character; our Damiano is much more complicated, as you would be if you have always lived in a house and then dumped to find yourself living in a cold kennel. It's not what you need when you are already 7 years old. We are trying so hard to do our best, we give them a blanket and a basket, we hug them and speak lovingly to them. We care for them and feed them  and even let them out for exercise and a bit of freedom.

But it cannot ever compare to being 'AT HOME' - what a dog experiences when he is dumped is very often underrated.  They cannot tell us how they feel, but we know and we feel so strongly with us.


They can not tell us, but we know and feel so with them .. Damiano and Danila ... two dogs ... we want so much to find someone who will take care of them forever.
