Holidays in Spain with galgos – what the tourists don’t see
Córdoba – beaten, strangled and left to die!
30/1/2017 – Hypatia, so we have named her. She was found the night of 30/01 in the middle of a road in Cordoba. Completely shattered to the head and with bites. She was still dragging the rope with which her assassin tried to kill her. No one wanted to be responsible for her so, despite being private, we have taken her to the vet in Puente Genil. Her prognosis is very serious. We don’t know if she will survive.
31/1/2017 – The prognosis this morning is not very good. Has traumatic brain injury, she’s treated with corticosteroids, mannitol and antibiotics and they’re watching as it evolves. She has a broken nose and refuses to eat. In spite of everything, has survived tonight. Has the will to fight.
We need help. Hypatia needs your help!

Dog Food Reviews
Here’s a link to an independent Dog Food analysis. You’ll note they are all natural mixes. I never buy from my vet or pet stores. Science Diet and Royal Canin are two which these places sell but that’s because they get commission on every sack, not because they are the best!
I’m interested to know what you readers feed your canines – how many of you feed a raw diet or feed you have cooked yourself?
