This pretty lady is a podenca x galgo; you can see from the trouser leg that the man holding her is in khaki. He is a hunter who is now looking for a ‘friend’ to take the bitch, as he no longer wants her. At least he hasn’t just dumped her.

Podencos – life in the hands of Spanish ‘thugs’
Whilst the plight of the podencos does not have the same high profile as that of the galgos, they suffer a similar life at the hands of the Spanish hunters, especially on the Spanish Islands, the Canary Islands near Africa and the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean.
Here, one podenco passionata writes about them.
'The reality is that the life of a podenco is in the hands of "thugs", this is the same as the life of the Galgos, adding to his miserable life also by suffering abandonment by the vast majority of Spanish society. Increasingly they share the same hardships, are also exploited for the same purposes, are just as abused, scraping by in hideouts dark, damp, crowded together, no light, no ventilation, the floor covered with dog dirt, being walk on, and occasionally being thrown a loaf of bread in order to "eat."
