Last week a co-worker of mine came back from holidays in Andalucia. But he came not alone to work but with a new colleague:
He and his girlfriend had been hiking somewhere in an area where they had rented a house. They passed along some garbage cans and there was Chulo. Looks as if the poor guy knew there was the chance of his life.
Although he was very scared, he accompanied them for the hike and to the house. Juergen and Monika were flattered but also a little scared. They decided not to feed him so that there was not too much bonding and hoped he would leave for somewhere during the night.
Of course in the morning: The dog was still there. Now they first went to the supermarket buying dog food and then looked at him closer. His fur was in a terrible shape, he had fleas and worms (plus a Ehrlichiosis and a Leishmaniosis, that dogs in the Mediterranean get from ticks), he was hungry and had licked his back so much the fur was missing.
Next thing was they took him to the vet and started discussions whether and how to get Chulo back to Germany.
(Like: "You cannot save the world."vs. "But I can save this dog")
At the end they booked new flights because at the original ones they couldn't have taken him.
I am proud to say that one of the pro reasons was that Juergen was sure his boss (that's me) would accept the dog in the office until they found a better solution with more fun for Chulo during worktime.
Of course we think office dogs are very usefuland every time he comes he gets lots of cuddles. He's still under antibiotics and we hope his diseases will be completely healed but he is a cute and beautiful boy:
