This is "BLUE". She is a very special dog, as she "starred" on the front of a leaflet some of you may have seen.
"Blue" is amazing, how she has survived I really don't know.
I found her when I was in one of the local "Vets", I looked across the road and saw a dog staggering into the waste ground opposite.
I asked the vet if she knew the dog, "oh yes, I see her go in there often" she said. I asked if she gave the dog food or any other kind of help,
I asked the vet if she knew the dog, "oh yes, I see her go in there often" she said. I asked if she gave the dog food or any other kind of help,
"no, she is homeless, only a street-dog." Was she heartless answer. A very usual one here, even from vets.
I raced over the road in case I lost sight of the dog, but it was in too bad a way to get far. Of course it was coming home with me, I was outraged at the vets comments.
I began to coax the dog out of the garden, and onto the road, but although she was friendly she was in such a poor way she could not walk more than a few steps without stopping for a rest, so slowly we made our way along, it was a market day, very busy, and poor Blue was afraid, she had no idea where I was taking her, but she was so desperate she followed as best she could anyway.
We made it to the bottom of my road, and painfully slowly we went along, there are several cafes there, and outside one some English people were having a snack, one woman was horrified at the state of poor Blue, she gave Blue some of her food, and that seemed to give her the strength to carry on.
At last we made it home, even in her emanciated condition she was too big for me to carry, but she was too afraid to come into the garden, so I had to carry her in.
I laid her under a tree, in the shade, gave her water and went to see what I could give her to eat.
Her first meal with me was scrambled eggs, and "love dog" dog biscuites. She was ravenous, but was so starved she could only manage to eat a little.
Even now, 3. years later, she is still thin, she never seems to put on weight, no matter what she eats.
This year for the first time she had a season, at last her system is recovering.
She is a friendly shy sort of dog, she keeps to herself, but has a few "friends", for some reason any pups always adore her.
She now defends her territory, her bed and her bones, and she makes sure she is first in line at feeding time, but her pitiful life "on the streets" must haunt her.
She wound love a new bed and blankets, and some food treats, if you would like to help her please "click" the paypal donate button, and e-mail me saying what you would like her to have.
