When I told Mo Swatek of Pro Galgo what I would like to do to the men who maltreated the dogs she is in the process of trying to heal, she replied with these amazing words, probably expressing what so many of the valiant volunteers feel.
‘It’s horrible when I see in the eyes of the new arrived galgos, to see the panic, the pain and the suffering,and it’s the best part of all the galgo saving job, to see how it slowly disappears from their eyes, and then the eyes start to shine brightly again, joyfull and happy.
Some dogs make it in days, other take weeks and a few ones even years but sooner or later they seem to manage to forget the past.’
