  • Little Podenca Andaluz Lucy, lucky to survive an horrendous attack

    Lucy accident 250 4 12 2011You may remember little podenca Lucy, recently rescued from beside a railway track. She was going through the process of having her EU passport prepared when she was the victim of a terrible attack by bigger dogs which nearly killed her. The second such incident I have reported recently.

    She has umpteen wounds and stitches all over her body; she has a puncture wound almost on the jugular – a little bit closer and Lucy would not be with us. A miracle that she is.

  • Seville – Podenca Andaluz Mandarina needs your help

    Mandarina 1 300 Barbara lafrance 11 2011This little lady is Mandarina, a small Podenca Andaluz abandoned in Seville, like so many other dogs. Luckily she was rescued and taken to a refuge. Sadly after a few weeks, she had a bad idea! She got herself into an enclosure with several very large dogs, mastins, and was badly attacked. She is only 12 kilos, just the size of my little Bebe, and she was lucky not to be killed by the dogs.

    Luckily the volunteers heard the commotion and rescued her, but you can see from the photos that little Mandarina suffered badly. She was rushed to the vet clinic, fearing that she had internal injuries but, happily, this was not the case, she simply needed her wounds treating and stitching. She is now recovering at the home of a volunteer, Beatriz.
