There are days that I would reject the fact that I am
human, days that you refuse to accept being of the same species as these evil
beings that humans can be. I was especially touched by the story of Dagy, maybe
because it caught me in a bad moment, maybe because I don’t understand why
people are wasting their energy in hurting an innocent being, or maybe simply
because when I looked into Dagy’s eyes, it was just incomprehensible that a
being with such purity would have had to suffer of such horrendous abuse and
neglect.
On the other hand I also reconciled with human beings
after meeting people such as Leticia and her friend. Leticia, member of Scooby,
had been looking into the situation of Dagy since a few days, left on a piece
of farmland with an owner who wasn’t interested. Very bravely she went to talk
with S. (the owner) so he would give Dagy a more human and civilized existence,
but they already knew that for Dagy to have a better life he would have to be
far away from there. Therefore they convinced the owner to turn Dagy over to
them.
Dagy arrived at Scooby and in a sorry condition, with
a difficult to explain wound on its nose. After discussing it with the
President, it was decided that Dagy would become another member of the Scooby
family. Leticia and her friend wanted to
help in her maintenance, knowing that economics is sometimes a big
handicap if you want to help all animals you can. That afternoon unfortunately
confirmed what we all feared, Dagy tested positive on Leishmania and even
worse, we think her owner has cut off her nose.
Now Dagy is
getting accustomed to his new life at Scooby, with the care of Enrique and the
volunteers. We want to thank Leticia and her friend for everything, it is
essential to be able to count on people that brave and committed. Thanks to you
we still believe in humans.
We don’t know how long Dagy will stay with us, but we
are confident that in the time he has remaining, and we hope it will be long,
he will have a dignified life, where he will know love, warmth and care. In the
end he will know the happiness that some day somebody tried to steal from him.
For now Dagy, it is your turn to be happy.
