When we arrived at the Barragem last night we were greeted by 2 dogs who at first looked as if they belonged to a Uk group of campers having a couple of jars in the sunshine. One of the girls in the group came over to assure us they weren't and to advise they may have fleas. Both had the same reddish hair colour. The larger one being the size of a small lab, long haired and in reasonable shape, but a reddish eye. The smaller one is terrier sized but very thin. Short haired and has long stick like legs that wobble around a bit like a young foal who is not sure of standing. Her jaw is all wrong with the bite from the top meeting the bottom and she doesn't have a bark, just a sort of wailing high pitched wailing noise that sounds a bit like a hyena. She is not right.
I spoke to the group about the dogs and the women told me it wasn't fair to feed them and one of the guys walloped the small one when it started making a noise. All quite upsetting, so I walked away. That night was very cold. Around -2c and we heard the little one occasionally wailing. The next morning I said that I wanted to go immediately as I couldn't bear the whole dog situation. And all of a sudden shocked both him and myself by bursting into tears. That was it. Inconsolable. Jc went outside to pack up and noticed the single rather untidy guy in the group feeding the dogs. Jc then took a can of dog food over at my request. Me now a blubbering wreck anyway. And was told that he was a vegetarian and had given them sardines and salad for breakfast and our dog food would do for that night.
We left not knowing what was going to happen to them and hopefully some kinder souls than us would give or find them a home.
