Dogs are creatures that depend on us for survival and need our love, attention and respect; they require food and water, but they also need exercise, companionship and the opportunity to run free almost as much.
Although we wish we didn’t have to share the story of Hope, the beautiful St. Bernard, the reality is that the story is more common than people think. Lima, the capital of Peru, is home to Villa Mara del Triunfo, where a concerned resident discovered a distraught dog, chained and alone.
Allison arrived to find a small dog tied to a window with a heavy chain, completely abandoned by his guardian. It turned out that the animal had spent an entire year in this situation.
