We all love happy endings, but as with any story, we should not ignore the bitter beginning, writes justsomething.
Such is the story of Cala, the guard dog of a mechanic in San Jose, Costa Rica, who was pitifully tied to a chain so short that she could not rest her head or breathe properly. She was in poor condition, with wounds and malnutrition.
Fortunately, she was rescued and taken to the Territorio de Zaguates sanctuary where she is slowly recovering. But Cala faced another obstacle. Heartless people were trying to enter the shelter and feed the dogs poisoned sausages.
As a result, 16 dogs died and Cala developed neurological problems. We are happy that after overcoming the difficulties she has finally found a family who will treat her well and help her regain her faith in humanity. Discover Cala’s touching story through the pictures below.
