Just another day. The Good dog is jumping around her owner, happy and excited. Hurray! A walk! Where are we going? She jumps into the car, thrilled to be going somewhere new and interesting. The car stops and the trunk flies open – Great! Where are we? Oh, how fresh and interesting everything smells! What… Hey! WAIT!!!! What’s going on!? Wait, open the car, quick, I didn’t manage to get back in! Stop! Heeey! Have you forgotten me?! Why are you not taking me!? Please, wait, I am right here, behind you! Hey!!! Can’t you see me in the rear-view mirror, wait!!! Please, take me, please, don’t go!! Please… stop… stop… And the car disappears down the road, and before anyone knows it the Good Dog has become a Stray Dog, doomed to hurt and wander alone in despair.
We admitted Santra to the shelter only skin and bones, with a strangely crooked leg and just before a season – a full set of misery, so to speak. We were really hoping to be able to fix her front leg, but unfortunately – her condition has proven to be untreatable. Her body has reacted to the break by forming a false joint, causing her great discomfort and permanent pain, according to the kind doctors at the Central Vet Clinic.
Santra became yet another 3-legged girl at the Bogrov shelter. Another one of those wonderful, kind, perfectly lovable cripples that will have to wait long months, or even years until we manage to find her a Human. We were worried that locked in a cage – this energetic, lively girl would lose her spark. But – she was lucky to be adopted just 2 months after we admitted her!
Santra was adopted by Marietta Nikolova and her amazing family! She already lives happy and loved in their home. She is being a good girl, making everyone very, very happy. She has already made a best friend – the 10-year old family Rottweiler – Lora.
Here is the letter we received from Marieta about Santra’s new life:
Hello,
I am sending you photos from Santra’s new home and life.I think Santra is very happy, she was playing with our son Marty from the very first day. She even managed to get a few games out of our old Rottweiler Lora. She is really a very charming dog. Despite missing a front leg she runs like the wind around the yard, and when we go to the mountains she is a jumping, restless ball of energy.
Santra has brought great joy to our home.
Thank you for caring for her. Thanks to you we have the sweetest and kindest dog in the world!
Marieta, Marty and Mitko
