This is a road and a ravine in Spain. on 7th September Penelope Guest, who lives nearby, heard some faint cries. She tells the story.

‘Well, it’s started…the mass killing of podencos. Yesterday I could hear tiny helps, coming from the mountain behind me. John and I climbed up as far as we could, and could see a bag hup higher. John was able to clibe all the way up, and inside the bag were seven newly born podenco puppies. Unable to bring them back up, I called a friend to bring some ropes and a pulley and we were able to bring John and the half-dead pups up.

Newly born podenco puppies – thrown over a ravine from a moving car, probably – found just alive. Seven babies, one already dead – 3 day old puppies discarded like rubbish…six babies struggling to survive.

They are now with Angie, who is experienced in feeding and weaning very young puppies. They have now been to the vet – two have serious leg injuries because of the 50 metre drop. We don’t know at this moment what other injuries they have sustained…time will tell. We need all kinds of help, money is the most important for the ongoing vet treatment and of course, eventually innoculations and sterilization before adoption.

We will be grateful for any help, however small. Paypal donations to perrosgalore@outlook.com. Thank you.’

Goodness knows what state their mother is in!
