Cristo is still a frail little chap, he was shockingly thin when he came in – also he has a heart murmur and problems with his teeth – but that doesn’t stop him enjoying life. Cristo is always pleased to have visitors and Val, who is one of our Pet Samaritan supporters, comes to see him every week. The pouches she brings him are much appreciated, Cristo can only eat soft food but he loves the attention and fuss she gives him just as much.
We were surprised when Val told us she was having her beautiful long hair shaved off in order to raise funds to help Cristo. It was a magnificent gesture of help for this little dog. Val has had lots of support, her hair has gone and through sponsorship she has raised the tremendous sum of £250 for Cristo. The operation on his mouth can now go ahead as soon as he is well enough. Thanks so much Val, you are a very brave lady – and by the way, the new minimalist hair do suits you!
