Another piece of expressive prose from the pen of Alan Brian of Pepis Dog Refuge.
DON’T BLAME ME
I have only had the dog five years, and it never was my pet,
so I have dumped it in the countryside, it will be easy to forget.
I took him to the countryside far from where he used to play,
and threw his favourite ball for him, then swiftly drove away,
he will never find his way back here, it’s much to far away.
Polar continues to behave like a naughty teenager! 1 year old this month and still collecting asbos every day and showing no evidence of any feeling of pain in his damaged hind leg.
Thank you to everyone who has contacted me with information about their experiences with handicapped dogs and with specialist orthopaedic veterinary practices, a couple of whom I have followed up.
And another poor galgo needing help, with another small shelter in Seville.
This young galga has been named “REGALO” (gift in spanish), she was found with a badly broken jaw and a severe infection. She has been taken in by the shelter La Candela Hogar Refugio near Seville and is in Malaga at a vet hospital with strong antiinflamatories and antibiotics.
‘Ariel Sarabria, our veterinary expert in trauma has operated on Regalo. He managed to implant the prosthesis and nails to knit the bone to return it to function and enable Regalo to open and close her mouth, to give her the most normal life possible.
A galgo family have been rescued by Prodeanse in Seville. There are 7 puppies, 2 boys and 5 girls and will be up for adoption, together with Iris, their stunning mother, and Noa, their beautiful black galgo. This little girl is Tania.
If you wish to be considered as a forever family, please contact Loli at Prodeanse.
The canine physiotherapist who has been treating Polar wanted an up-to-date xray of his injured leg, as she felt there was a problem with his ligaments. As the previous xrays were taken in Spain at the beginning of April, and Polar has grown enormously since then, I thought it a good idea too.
