Those of us living outside Spain cannot begin to imagine the fear experienced by people fostering and adopting these beautiful dogs and keeping them in Spain. Galgos are considered vermin and anyone keeping one as a pet and walking it in the street risks being followed home, and possibly the dog stolen.
The background details of this poor galgo are now known. The dog has not been mistreated, it has been victim of a fire caused by a molotov cocktail thrown against the house of the dog’s owner. Several more galgos got hurt in this brutal attack, some of them were saved by the owners, some ran in panic away. One of them was this poor galga, The police confirm the story.
What goes through the mind of the person who perpetrates this vile murderous act? When will they be caught and dealt with?
