Abandoned dogs on New Year's Eve - How do the Volunteers cope?

Thursday 31st December, 0830. Pedro Munoz animal shelter, Ciudad Real.

Loli says 'This is what we found on arrival at the shelter today. These three poor dogs, bound and chained and icy cold. They may have spent all night getting wet .

This has been the gift that someone gave us on the last day of the year.'

The man in the photo is the volunteer cutting the dogs free with wire clippers and taking them into the shelter.

I suppose the only good thing is that they were left outside the shelter, rather than dumped down a well, thrown into a canal, or abandoned on the motorway.
