We couldn’t think of a way to write his story without sounding racist. So, we hope you already know – we are not people who would judge a human or an animal by their color. To put it short – Negarcheto (coming from the word for a black person in Bulgarian “negar”) is a Gypsy dog. This is how they named him, this is how they gave him to us, this is his name.
Negarcheto met the train at Yana Station. On the tracks. Face to face. The outcome: minus a leg and a tail from Negarcheto.
Very few dogs would stand this pain and not bite or even growl…
Yes, we too were shocked and picturing all sorts of scenarios to figure out what must have happened for Negarcheto to be missing both a tail and a front leg, but the facts are indisputable. He was hit by a train. It ripped off his leg and tail in a blink. This is the truth.
The unbelievable comes after that – and Negarcheto being alive after a train is not the biggest surprise. What is most socking is his kindness. His joy of human contact. You cannot see it in these photos, because he is camera-shy, but this is a very gentle, sweet boy. A boy for the heart, not for the streets.
“Don’t bring him back” – that was the most certain part of the things we heard about our brave train-crashing new friend. Nope, we will not. Negarcheto didn’t survive this horrid ordeal to be put back on the tracks 3-legged.
Don’t worry, little one, we fixed you. The pain will soon be gone, be strong for a little longer…
Negarcheto is about 2-3 years old. He is a wonderful dog. He doesn’t have a tail or a front leg. But he does have a heart of gold and about 100 tons of luck.
You really cannot see it on the photos, because he is camera shy, but Negarcheto is one of the very best, kindest, most pleasing dogs in the shelter.
