city doggie-village doggie

my brother and his fiance adopted her from an animal protection association in Bucharest called ROBI and ever since, all they talk about is Adela. Such organizations estimate about 30.000 stray dogs in Bucharest, with a birthrate of 100 puppies per day. Authorities don't want to make the numbers public, but at least there's an Administration for the Surveillance (?) of Dogs Without Owners which also makes adoptions possible despite the obvious failure to manage the situation. in this video she's puzzled by the chicken's idea of humping that water bottle.




this is Leutzu, my dad's countryside dog that he picked up from the street. no intermediaries in this case, it was love at first sight.he really needed a new buddy around the house. our old dog there (RIP) was over 20 when he passed on last year.
the young one's name is the diminutive of his predecessor, Leu.
i don't see many stray doggies in the countryside, maybe because they are more valued there or things there just fit in easier.


these two dogs will probably never meet, but it was a pleasure for me to spend a few moments with each of them.
