Richie is a wonderfully affectionate galgo who was found in Teruel with a broken back leg. We were told that his owner had abandoned him when he broke his leg and he had gone a year with the leg untreated. As you can see from the photo, the break had consolidated very badly. The traumatologist Xavier Totusaus, who kindly reduces his fees to help galgos in need, spent 3 hours operating on Richie’s leg. It was a very complicated operation as a nerve and surrounding blood vessels were trapped in the bone that had fused together.
We hope that Richie re-gains full use of his leg and that he finds a family that will treat him with as much love and affection as he has to give.
