R.I.P. unknown friend
Harald | September 20, 2008
The last day of our tour had a sad ending. On our way through Belgium we all of a sudden saw a dog next to freeway and stopped for him. Our worries came true. The dog, which looked like a German Shorthaired Pointer was seriously injured and escorted by the Belgian police we took him to the nearest available veterinarian in Recogne. The dog only had a simple metal chain as collar and wasn’t chipped nor did he have a tattoo. According to the doctor he was about 7 years old. The examination revealed several injuries and unfortunately the veterinarian wasn’t able to perform the kind of complicated operation which would have been necessary. We had to put him to sleep, which broke my heart. We only knew him for a short while but it seemed to be a kind dog and based on his appearance I don’t think he had such a great live. At least he didn’t have to die in pain, thirsty and hungry on the side of the road.
Credits go to the Clinique Vétérinaire à Libramont for helping us and the dog and not charging for it.
