X is for Xuni
This is Xuni, she is a pedigree Weimaraner. She was sold to a puppy farmer who made a lot of money from her, then chained her up in a yard and forgot about her. She was given a mango a day if anyone remembered to feed her. After a few months of this Xuni did not have very long to live when her luck suddenly changed. A persistent English woman kept visiting the farmer and telling him he was a very bad man. Eventually he told her to just take the dog and stop pestering him. A lot of generous people helped Xuni move to another country. She is slowly putting on weight as her stomach gets used to food again. She could hardly walk when she was rescued but now she can run. She is devoted to her besotted new owners, and to watch her delightedly tracking scents back and forth across open fields, whilst keeping a careful eye on her new family, is truly heart warming.

Choking back the tears here Deb...
ReplyDeleteGood story, Deb. Persistence does pay.

Oh, what a wonderful, heartfelt story! Xuni is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteA great day for Xuni when the lady first had the courage to knock on that man's door, and even better days when she continued to go back, day after day. That woman was brave, she could have been attacked or worse. And that woman has helped a living creature find her Forever Home.
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute !
ReplyDeleteExceptional photograph. So glad the future for this beautiful dog is looking up.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a lucky dog! She looks so sweet and, considering her start in life, looks to be a loving and devoted pet. I don't know in what country she was found, but that man should be locked up!

Wonderful story! Fabulous woman! ;-))
ReplyDeleteHow very sad, but a good outcome for this lovely dog. An inspiration to others to intervene when they see cruelty to animals.
ReplyDeleteWhy have a pet only to ignore it? Lucky dog to find his way to besotted new owners.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet creature, so glad she has a good life now.
ReplyDeleteBrave woman, lucky dog, sh!t pet breeder. So many animals need rescuing, like Xuni, there's no need to give money to the puppy mills.
