 
Dizzy is a prime
example of how dogs are treated by all nationalities in
Spain.
Dizzy is a beautiful
Pointer cross born August 2009 (approx) She is very friendly,
affectionate and playful. She walks quite well on the lead and
is fine in the car. Dizzy gets on fine with other dogs and seems
to love children.
She has been a
family member on Camposol delighting in the company of children,
who were obviously a large part of her life.
Until......her owners decided they didn't want her anymore. In
fairness they did put up a picture of her in a vet's window
stating her name, Dizzy, and the fact that she needed a new home
and giving their phone number.
A couple of weeks
ago she was found on the dual carriage way between D and C
causing havoc with traffic and about to cause an accident. A
member of the public came to us and asked for our help to get
her out of danger - which we duly did. A little detective work
on the part of us all revealed her name address and phone
number.
When her owners were
told we had found their dog they said they wanted nothing more
to do with her. A little more detective work ascertained that
they were in the habit of "letting Dizzy escape" hoping to solve
their problem, perhaps by being run over.
We continued to call
the number listed of the lady who was her primary owner but
always a man answered. He reiterated that they didn't want the
dog and if he had his way he'd shoot it and put it out of its
misery.
Dizzy stayed with a
fosterer over night and cried every tine she heard children pass
by.
She was moved the
next day to a small kennels where she cried and pined for days
until she became ill. At first Dizzy started making herself ill
by refusing to eat. Then she refused to drink. Dizzy was
mourning her family so much she was prepared to die. Her owners
were apprised again of her situation - their response was just
as hard-hearted as before.
Dizzy had to be
hospitalised with a vet so that she could be put on a drip to
save her life. She is now back at the kennels, eating and
drinking a little but still mourning the loss of her family and
friends - especially the children.
We are saddened to
find such cruelty on Camposol from a British family. Aren't the
Brits supposed to love animals?
Please pause and
give thought when undertaking the responsibility of taking an
animal into your home. A dog will love you unconditionally
without requiring unconditional love in return - just the love
and care you promised when you welcomed him/her into your home.
