Could you chew off your own arm or leg? Kafir tried to. Cristina tells his story.
KAFIR ( ex Blacki on internet forums ), male of 70 cm, 3-4 years and is that special galgo of endless sweetness.
Kafir comes from Mérida ( Badajoz ). He was abandoned, always looking for food and one day he appeared with a terrible wire around his hind leg. It was so tight that it created a very bad and deep wound up to the point that the leg began to gangrenate.
Kafir was in so much pain and was suffering so much that he himself began to bite himself up to the point that people saw him, saw that the leg was hanging only by a tendon.
It was impossible to catch him. Ana, a volunteer from Merida followed him day by day, left him food with antobiotics and even called him under the rain. Kafir was very weak, and only skin and bones...with a hanging leg.
When he ran he was crying so loud that only a few sensitive people told the volunteer to please catch him to give him an injection to die in peace. Kafir managed to get rid of his own leg, by himself(!) and disappeared for a few days...after that, he was so weak that Ana, a volunteer could catch him, after 3 months of desperation.
He recovered in a foster home, put weight on, and now he will finish his recovering with me. We give him medicines once a day and make him get strength in his healthy hind leg.
Kafir is extremely sweet, affectionate, gentle, grateful, calm and so happy about everything. He loves to eat and I don't know if he even loves more to be caressed. He constantly follows us with his brown eyes and whenever we pass beside him, he always wags his tail with such a force that you can hear the "tam-tam" on the wooden floor.
He is fine with all kinds of dogs, cats and children but I think he needs another dog at home for company, as once I stayed with him at home and my husband went down with my two other dogs, he began to cry.
Kafir is 70 cm big and has 30 kg of love and tenderness which he fully gives to anyone who will embrace him and say " I love you ".
