In October 2006 we saw a beautiful white greyhound (Galgos) at the kennels in Corvera Spain. He had been a stray for around 6 months before being taken in by the Local Noahs Arc animal charity. He was in a bad way, very thin and full of ticks and fleas. He was dehydrated and had cigarette burns to his rear quarters and also a burn to his skull! This dog is one of those that captures your heart as soon as you meet him. He looks deep into your eyes when you stroke him, it almost as though he is looking into your soul! The poor chap was suffering with depression when we met him. He would not eat, and spent all his time in voluntary isolation, despite vigorous attempts to socialise him. He spent a further 8 months in the kennels before in desperation we were asked to Foster him as he seemed to be was losing the will to live. This 2 minute video is his story and the link below takes you to where he is now. Please rate these two videos good or bad. Lets keep these beautiful docile creatures highlighted in the hope that they are better understood and found more loving homes. They love people, love children, and sleep for 22 hours a day, need just 40 minutes of exercise a day. And have the most charming and humorous personality (when they are awake) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbmmpqWiIgM For the Harvey update & latest thrilling mix !

Harvey is so …
Harvey is so handsome! Save the Galgos! Stop cruelty to animals. Until humans treat animals with kindness they will always be less than civilized.

VERY touching video …
VERY touching video!! We too have rescued dogs … EIGHT of them and they all come from Greece, another EU country where dogs (also other animals, but dogs especially) are grossly abused & neglected. There should be EU laws which would protect all animals from abuse and where encountered, the abusers should be punished severely. They say that a dog is ‘man’s best friend’ …. isn’t it a pity that it’s not also the other way around!!

A fantastic vid! …
A fantastic vid! Our female Grey is a rescue; and she was so depressed and so withdrawn, she would even run away from us because she was scared of being hurt. But now; Almost two years on she’s a totally different dog. I think back to how she used to be and I’m still in shock of how much she’s changed.
Little Harvey is lucky to have such great owners ^_^
