I was told a story by some friends who have been in Southern Spain for a few months. They were helping to catch a podenca living rough with her puppies at the side of a road, scavenging around rubbish bins to survive. It took over two weeks to catch them, the puppies first. Unfortunately during this time, one of the puppies got onto the road and was knocked down. The driver did not stop, but the car behind did, pulled into the side of the road and went to rescue the pup. Before he could, the Guardia Civil pulled up, told the young Dutch driver he couldn’t park, taken away and fined 200 euros. They weren’t interested in the injured puppy.
It managed somehow to draw itself off the road and hide and was eventually found and taken to the vet. Sadly it died.
