The galgos in Sofia El Refugio Escuela in Seville are discussing Spain v Holland on Sunday, and which team they should support. I print below the conversation as it was sent to me.
‘Spain claim their first title after beating Germany 1-0 and our galgos already know.
Well, first of all, congratulations Spain! But the World Cup Final is Spain vs Holland and our galgos have the dilemma which national team they have to support!: “Guys, let’s see, and now? Red or Orange?”
Thousands already living in the Netherlands for years: ” Orange, of course! I don’t come back!”
Those who have just arrived in Holland and even bark in spanish: “Pfff… I want to put down roots here, but my heart is still red…”
And the guys in the shelter: “Hmm, what do we do?”
“Me, i prefer Red, boy, I am a Spanish greyhound!”
“Well, we haven’t strictly a good life in Spain, guy”
“Well, let’s see, now we are not so bad, volunteers take care of us in a good way and they are spanish!”
” Pfff… listen to me: my wish it’s something like Ray, Kia, Katy, Marti or Pepi, a wardrobe full of coats and booties for snow and walking in the beach every weekend ”
“Shit!, and what we do?”
“Well, guys. We’d better say what we love is rugby”
Hope you had a good chuckle at this. And Sofie El Refugio Escuela is always looking for help and for homes for their galgos and other abandoned dogs and cats.
