dogs

Dogs are our beloved companions, family members, and even part of an essential workforce that helps people in need. Their ability to sense the world around them makes them exceptional guide dogs, therapy dogs, and rescue dogs. Nonetheless, the wellbeing of these amazing animals comes down to the responsibility of humans and the reality for many dogs around the world is harsh. 

Hundreds of thousands of stray dogs struggle to survive on the streets due to ongoing illness, injury or undernourishment. Worse still, they are often killed due to ill-conceived means to manage stray dog populations, or in slaughterhouses and restaurants for human consumption.
