His Father is working hard as well on the project, instilled his love of animals into his Son, and he also into his Son......wonderful...makes my heart happy...all animals deserve a chance to live a full long life, sadly many are put down, before any of that...

Happy to see that in progress, hope he keeps us updated.

This poor dog is ill but the Greek rescue just took him in. In another video, he removes that big collar from the dog.

Bless them all...poor manous...he looked very old , Debp, plus unhappy, I know he had his bed...did you think he looked unhappy?..look at his poor skin...plenty of land for the dogs, I wonder if the guy owns the land?

That has got to be a full time job, looking after all those senior dogs.

I think the Greek man must own the land. He has other big enclosures for other dogs and some cats.

Some of his volunteers come from other countries....one gal was from Germany. So I guess people can visit Greece and volunteer.

I heard there's a volcano acting up in Greece from a different rescue? Do you hear about it?

I’m happy that the senior dogs are separated from the younger ones, they need peace at that age, a bit like us,LOL.

Simon was wagging his tail, I noticed he never got up, what lovely enclosure that they have, ...good man, rescuing those dogs, did you hear that one of the seniors was found in the sea...?...seriously it makes me wonder what is in some peoples heart/ head, to abandon an animal like that...

Yes, I heard...he thought someone dumped the other dog in the sea. Very uncaring and cruel people.

I was listening to another video by the Greek man who owns the shelter. He said he never had children. He said in his youth he had his heart broken three times in a row. So after that he became a disc jockey and he just had fun he said. I guess the animals are his children now.

Wow.. he gets donations from all over the world, I wondered how he was was able to buy all that land and build all these buildings that accommodate all these cats and dogs...plus he used to live in a container, now he lives in a house.

Sounds like Abby was from the U.K.,apparently she’s had Gohan for four years now, lovely how he bonded with her, from the very beginning of her working at the shelter, taking on a dog is a huge commitment, I’m happy that it’s working for them both, he managed to sneak into her bed, LOL.

Thanks for sharing, it certainly was a heart warming story.
