Last saturday evening we got a phonecall from somebody who found this dog terrible wounded and alone wandering on the street. Of course we brought her immediately to MELIOS, where we took care of her leg and her condition and called the vet, where we could come yesterday.
A complicated operation was needed directly, the bone and the remainings of the leg had to be amputated untill deep in the shoulder, which was - as we already thought - terrible infected.
Vet Mr. Legos in Sparti decided to help us , because he saw how urgent the situation was and did the operation immediately. He agreed that we pay him whenever we ( hope ) to have the money, which is extremely kind of him in these times of crisis in Greece. He was touched by the affection of the dog to him and us ...... so sweet, while she must have suffered so terrible .....
We don't know what happened to her, maybe a car accident or a fox trap.
We called her Bowie, because she has - just like the famous David - one brown and one blue eye. She is treated well now in the house of Litsa ( from MELIOS) and - given the circumstances - she is quite well now. We have good hope that she will recover and want nothing more than to give her a painless future, with all the love she deserves and who knows .... maybe someone wants to adopt her.
It's an unbelievable special, brave and sweet dog and she touched us deeply in our hearts ....

"What lasts a long time will finally be good"! – says a German proverb. For years, the access road to the MELIOS shelter was impassable during heavy rainfall.
