Our Sorriso di San Francesco – Rescue of Madonna and Vela
The 12-year-old Madonna, a completely run-down, exhausted hunting dog, was found not far from the entrance gate – tied to a tree. She showed all traces of apathy – from her life with her master, a hunter – who can only be credited for tying the old girl to a tree not far from our SORRISO. Unfortunately, she died shortly after.
Vela (4 years old) was given away by a hunter because she was no longer suitable for hunting and had therefore become superfluous.
