I recently reported about two podencos in Seville which Macu had rescued from Palmete, a settlement of galgueros and gitanos from where she saves many hounds. Both the podencos had eye problems. The younger one has been named Atila, just two years old, in good health apart from not being able to see. His problem is that there are waterfalls and tumours in each eye, and if enough money can be raised, the opthamologist can restore Atila’s sight 100%. At the moment, the poor dog spends a lot of time bumping into things or just not moving about atall. The amount needed – 1,600 euros to include the operation and follow-up tests. If Atila does not have the operation, he will be blind for life.
