Bank holiday, what a day. The weather exceptionally hot, the sky blue and the sun shining brightly. Maybe there will be time later in the afternoon to go for a walk or a swim. Until early afternoon, I was quite busy. Then late afternoon, I received a telephone call from a Swiss lady, who appeared to be a little distressed. She spoke about finding a female dog by some bins with 4 puppies. According to her, these puppies were only about 5 days old and the mother dog, had a broken leg. More phone calls but to who? I knew the local charity wouldn't help as they are struggling to find foster carers themselves. I explained to the lady that I will make some phone calls, but I might not achieve a solution, so it will be a case of passing telephone numbers onto her. Anyway, the person that I rang agreed to help, which was great news. We established the bins and all met there. For me though, it was awful. Seeing this female dog laid pitifully with her babies was heartbreaking. I was equally shocked to hear that this Swiss lady saw them the day before and didn't contact anyone. If Bank holiday had have been just another day, then these puppies and their mother would have been binned!!!!! How could someone ignore the plight of GreekSTRAYS? To give a stray any chance of survival, one needs to act immediately. The new foster person took them to the vet straight away to be examined. It was identified, that the break either happened just before she gave birth, or at some point when her puppies had been born. The good news was that the puppies were not 5 days old. They were approximately 4/5 weeks old. So some cruel local decided to dump them.
