Monument To The Abandoned Dog In Galicia
Abandoned dogs are sometimes the forgotten greats of history. Even people who love animals forget about them, because everyday life and work keep us focused on other things that we think are more important at that moment.
However, we appreciate that there are people who do this work for us. This is the case of Carmen Grande, who erected a monument to the abandoned dog found in Galicia. Today, anyone who wishes can visit it.
The homage to the abandoned dog
Even though it is known as such, it is in fact a tribute to all the abandoned animals. So, smaller and in between the paws of the huge dog, there is a cat.
The commemorative plaque says like this:
Without a doubt, all the inhabitants of Moaña or one of the hundreds of tourists who pass by there every year, seeing this statue will remember that we must always care, respect and protect animals.
In Galicia there are dozens of people who watch over the welfare of these abandoned animals. As the plaque says, they welcome them and take care of them on a non-profit basis.
Other monuments to animals that are worth knowing
Fortunately, this is not the only monument in homage to animals, quite the contrary.
There are thousands of them in the world. For this reason, today we want to remind you of the best known.
Alaska
A beautiful Pitbull dog breed stands on a pedestal. He asks all the inhabitants of the beautiful country, please, not to abandon the dogs.
Located in one of the most popular and well-known areas of the country, it serves as a warning to all those who have abandoned or thought of doing so. And for animal lovers, it is undoubtedly an honor to see a monument like this.
Argentina
A dirty and stray dog, without its breed being identified, reminds all Argentines of the suffering of abandoned animals and the fact that helping them depends on us.
Canada
With a sign that says “Welcome”, inviting all who wish to adopt an abandoned animal, a small black dog rests on a marble pedestal.
His sad look and his back ears visibly express the feelings of an abandoned animal.
Barcelona
If there is one animal that shows off the poor conditions in which abandoned animals are found, it is undoubtedly this statue that is located in Barcelona.
It looks like a greyhound that is starving. With that look, perhaps the saddest you have ever seen in your life, it is as if asking for mercy.
Mexico
More or less the same happens with the monument in Mexico. An almost dying dog that struggles to keep its paws straight for walking. He asks for mercy from a country where there are thousands of abandoned pets every year.
These statues may seem at first glance something useless, but it is very likely that the conscience of more than one person who has abandoned or thought of abandoning an animal will awaken upon seeing them.
We hope that this is the case and that there are fewer and fewer abandonments.
