By noon on a late-May day, Tina Solera of Galgos del Sol (GDS) had already had what she termed three “cardiac arrests” related to her work of saving the abandoned hunting dogs of southern Spain. First came news that paperwork requirements had suddenly changed for the 12 Galgos—Spanish Greyhounds— about to travel overland to England to find homes. Then, there was an unexpected arrival of a truckload of dog blankets from Belgium, which needed to be unloaded at the second-hand shop she runs to benefit the dogs. But the real blow was finding that someone had slapped a flyer on the store’s entrance promoting a huge Galgo hare-coursing competition. “This is just what we are fighting against,” she said. “And people either don’t realize it or they don’t care.”
