    We were returning home from a short vacation and suddenly, we saw the cars in front of us doing weird things (suddenly hitting the brakes, honking, zigzagging
  • 03
    etc). Not even one stopped though. Then, we reached the point those cars were and well... 2 beautiful BEAUTIFUL hunting dogs were running on the middle of the road.
  • 04
    My boyfriend and I were in shock. We were so affected by the sight of it. We immediately stopped at like a sidetrack on the road, and called
  • 05
    them, they were clearly exhausted and nervous. We gently grabbed them and put them in the back of our car and they immediately lay down, resting.
  • 06
    We drove to the nearest rest stop and called the guardia civil, emergency services, even a f* ing animal shelter that
  • 07
    told us we can't leave the dogs there, police must do it, but police told us they can't take the dogs, we should took them there. It was a hot mess, let
  • 08
    me tell you that. No official service was willing to do ANYTHING. An amazing couple there had a dog and they gave us a bag
  • 09
    Two corgi dogs lying on a couch
  • 10
    of dog food for the poor animals and we gave them fresh water as well. They were so don hungry I almost cried. The dogs were
  • 11
    so SO sweet, extremely peaceful and won't leave our side, they wanted comforting and caressing. Finally, a very polite and sweet team of
  • 12
    guardia civil traffic agents came (I repeat, TRAFFIC AGENTS, like they have no obligation whatsoever to do that) and checked if the dogs had a
  • 13
    microchip, which one of them had. They were able to find the owner's phone number and address, but he won't answer his phone. There was a
  • 14
    Two corgis smushed together
  • 15
    multiple accident and the team had to leave, but the central called us and told us if we please could drive to his address and check if he was there so, of course we did it.
  • 16
    Turns out the guy lived like 3 km away from where we found the dogs, so at least it looked like he didn't drove and abandoned them on
  • 17
    purpose but well, clearly something happened. On our way to this guy's home, police called us again to told us the guy finally answered his phone
  • 18
    and was waiting for us at his door. Apparently, the dogs escaped the previous night chasing a rabbit. The owner didn't find
  • 19
    them in the morning, but he wasn't worried because "they had done it in the past, they're hunting dogs and they chase
  • 20
    things and always return in a few hours". He told us he was looking for them all morning in his village... the problem is, they were on the f* ing
  • 21
    highway adjacent to the village this time and well, if they have a history of disappearing, maybe build something so they can't escape
  • 22
    anymore because they almost ded today. Protect your dogs, for god's sake. They're the most innocent creatures in this world and these
  • 23
    were so sweet, good and just pure. So well, I am mad at the owner for his lack of worry (he didn't even called police once), I'm
  • 24
    Black and white corgi and orange and white corgi walking through forest path
  • 25
    mad at the incredible amount of people that didn't have a single f ‹ when they saw them on the road, I'm extremely mad at the shelter and at
  • 26
    the police (we spent 40 minutes trying to know how we should proceed and ultimately none of them wanted to take care of the situation) and also at the town halls here in Spain
  • 27
    because they are the ones that apparently have to take care of the animals in these cases, but SURPRISE SURPRISE, they are closed on weekends, like, if you find an abandoned animal
  • 28
    on the weekend you just have to kitl guess. Animal protection laws are a bad joke. I'm extremely grateful at that couple that gave us the dog food, you are the best.

    I just wish those amazing dogs are safe and happy.
