From Bev Farmer – For all you Podenco and Galgo Lovers..
I was so honoured to have been asked to contribute for a book created by Marga Hendrix of Viva la Vida Foundation that shines a light on the Podencos and Galgos of Spain. I wrote two pieces: one about Tilly, my first Podenco who began my journey with these remarkable dogs, and another about how we began rescuing Podencos and the desperate situation they face in Spain.
But this book is so much more than my words.
It brings together the voices of many Podenco and Galgo guardians, each sharing their deeply personal stories of what it means to have these incredible dogs in their lives. Together, our stories form a powerful tribute to two breeds who have endured so much, yet continue to inspire love, hope, and devotion. I have read this book and you can feel, how much these special dogs brought so much joy to their famiies.
The book, written in Dutch and English, is titled To the Moon and Back. Since the launch in October 3500 euros have been donated to a number of shelters In Spain.. Wouldn’t it be amazing if through more sales of this book we could match that or even more .
Beautifully illustrated by Marga Hendrix each dog in the stories is captured with love and attention to detail.
