Cancer Forces Him To Find A Home For His Six Dogs

Today we bring you a moving story, one of those in which we clearly see that the love exists between people and animals. Santiago, a man who due to his illness is forced to find a home for his six dogs. If it had been someone else, perhaps he would have abandoned them or taken them to a shelter, but this man is not willing. Know its history!

Santiago tries to find a home for his six dogs

Santiago is an 87-year-old man who defines himself as a great animal lover. She has always been taking care of and trying to help abandoned creatures: her six dogs, in fact, are adopted from the street. His life was calm and happy with his six furry friends until in 2016 he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Since then, he has received chemotherapy and has been going through a stage in which his strength is weakened, in which he can no longer live alone, and in which on many occasions he does not even have the strength to stand on his own. How could you take care of six dogs and give them what they need? As much as it took him to admit it, he is not in a position to do so.

In order to get families to give them “a lot of love like I have given them”, according to Santiago, he made a video that reached social networks and was widely disseminated. In the video, Santiago explains his situation and encourages families who want to adopt their dogs and take care of them as they deserve.

Results of the campaign to find a home for their six dogs

When recognized associations such as Animal Rescue Spain and celebrities such as Dani Rovira, who is in love with animals, found out about the existence of this video, they did not hesitate to spread it on their social networks and it has already reached thousands of people. What’s the score?

“This voicemail is full.” This is what you hear when you call the phone that Santiago makes available in the video. The campaign seems to be being a success and Santiago is not enough when it comes to answering calls. His neighbor Pilar lends him a hand and responds to what he cannot. According to her, she says she has lost count of the people who have called interested in adopting at least one of the six furry ones.

These results are even more surprising if we take into account that Santiago established a condition: those interested must be from Madrid or its surroundings, because even if he is forced to find a home for his six dogs, he does not want to lose contact with them and wants to continue seeing them.

According to his neighbor, they will have several interviews in the coming days. Pilar comments that she helps Santiago because he is a good man who has given his life to help others, especially abandoned animals. He assures that each of his six dogs has a story and that now it is he who needs help, so how can he refuse such a noble cause?

The great success of this campaign is such that it has led Pilar and Nancy, another neighbor who helps Santiago to find a home for his six dogs, to not reveal the town where they live, as social networks have echoed of the news at breakneck speed.

Lessons from this story …

There are many lessons that this history shows us. On the one hand, the self-denial of a man suffering from terminal cancer who thinks of his animals before himself. On the other, disinterested neighbors who help a good man in need without asking for anything in return. And what about all those moved people who want to offer their home to Santiago’s dogs?

Knowing stories like this makes us see that without a doubt there are still good people, people with a good heart willing to help and that, in the case of Santiago, as the saying goes, it applies to him that “one sows what one gathers ”. Santiago sowed goodness, and now he is gathering it in gigantic quantities. We hope that you will soon stop looking for a home for your six dogs and can leave in peace. Bravo Santiago!
