I said to them let dog in , or will kick you in there with it ,to these 2 lads throwing . he said something to in Spanish prob fook off something like that lol, so I hit him in the face booted the other and my younger brother just stood ready . got back to hotel latter on feck me was like hit one of them, you hit there old family ,the manger was going to call the cops, but the hol reps stepped in to calm it down . there lot of cruel feckers in that country regards dogs . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,694 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 my mother in law lived in spain and got involved in spanish rescue for dogs after seeing how shit it was over there. She found a box of new born puppies in a communal bin area waiting for the bin men to chuck the box of live puppies in the bin lorry, all the while their starving etc in the box . My dog vinny was hardly fed as a puppy and developed ricketts , he ended up breaking a leg so the owner left him on the doorstep of what is effectively known as a "killing station" for dogs . Luckily for him my mother in laws friend found him there and saved his life by taking him on and paying for his vets bills . This is him when they found the poor b*****d This is him now Hes 8 stone and 78cm to his shoulders . In a alternate fantasy universe me and him would catch a plane over to spain and chase his old owner through the town and over a cliff . But im skint and cant afford the pane fare so i'll have to make do with slagging him off on the internet 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
