"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." -- Unknown

Oh noooooooooo... :brokenheart :brokenheart :brokenheart How tragic :weep

 

I am so happy that she experienced love and understanding in the last three weeks of her life... she deserved more from life, she knew goodness knows how much anguish and suffering... but at least in the last few days of her all-too-short life, she knew a gentle hand on her fur, a calm reassuring voice, smiling eyes looking into hers, and Love.

 

Rest in peace, Arwen... :gh_run2

I'm so very sorry Robyn and Kim. Arwen in the end was loved by so many and especially by her people. She carried that love with her when she left. Be at peace now sweetheart.

Robin, my heartfelt sympathies go out to Kim and to you. I read this at work and was crying so hard that I had to shut my computer down. This is utterly tragic to lose Arwen right at the beginning of her happy years. I am so very sorry. Bless you and Kim for your work with the Galgos.

I posted about Arwen, the traumatized galgo from Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert, several times. I worked with her a lot while I was there, and when I left, a very dedicated volunteer named Kim took over. Kim adopted her and Arwen went to her new home in Germany on November 25, 2011; not even three weeks ago. As happens so often with traumatized dogs, yesterday she got away. Her lifeless body was found at the train station this morning. They think she touched the electric rail.

 

Arwen had a very hard life and we'll never know the horrors she experienced. She had found a wonderful home and I'm sure her last three weeks were like heaven.

 

Please keep Kim in your thoughts. She is really beating herself up.

 

RIP Arwen. We love you.

Robin? What became of the black and white dog in the picture, do you know? It drives me to tears.

that's Martina. I think she's been adopted, but I can check and get back to you. I understand she has come a long way since I took that picture :)
