My friend who bred puppies from her Rottweiler said to me the other day "all the pups went to 'gringo' families" apart from one which she has taken back as the Dominican family could not afford to feed him!! I told her that it was a long-term commitment if the dog went to her maid and family but she would not listen!
We acquired a GSD on Friday - totally neglected, thin, and just having been treated for screwworms (can be fatal if not treated).
Looks good eh?
His previous owner took him to Dr. Bob's in Sosua to have him put down as he no longer wanted the dog............ this was a 'gringo' owner so how disgusting is that?
The other side of the tale:
This dog is bold and beautiful, gentle but also exhuberant but when we tried to throw a stick for him to chase today, he cowered, so has obviously been beaten by sticks in the past and this saddens me a lot................. the more people I meet, the more I love my animals!
Now Alfie, he will improve from this:
Just don't tell me that Dominicans don't care about their animals as they are more than welcoming when they are offered advice - unlike many gringos it seems!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
