Boro rescued
After back-to-back fatal train crashes sent shock waves through Spain, some good news arrived on Thursday: Days earlier, Boro’s owner Ana García issued a desperate plea to help find him after the dog bolted Sunday in the aftermath of the high-speed train crash in southern Spain that killed at least 45 people. García, 26, and her pregnant sister were traveling with Boro on the train that derailed. The trio had been traveling Sunday by high-speed train from Malaga, their hometown in southern Spain, to the capital Madrid, when the tail of their train car jumped the rails for reasons that remain unclear, and smashed into another train. The collision killed dozens and injured more than 150 people. Rescue crews helped García and her sister out of the tilted, crunched train car. That’s when she briefly saw Boro before he ran.
In the video below: Ana spoke to the cameras with a blanket draped over her shoulders and a bandage on her cheek after Spain’s worst rail accident in more than a decade. “Please, if you can help, look for the animals,” a limping García told reporters at the time, choked up and holding back tears. “We were coming back from a family weekend with the little dog, who’s family, too.” The search for Boro appeared to provide Spaniards with something to hope for amid the week’s tragedy, and ultimately something to celebrate. For days, people had rallied online to find him, amplifying Ana ‘scall by sharing video of an interview she had given to local media. Photos of Boro, a medium-sized black dog with white eyebrows, went viral alongside phone numbers for García and her family. Spanish television broadcasters and newspapers covered the search.
On Thursday, forest firefighters in southern Spain found the black-and-white pooch, and posted images that showed Ana with one of her legs in a brace embracing Boro. On Thursday, Ana had a bruise beneath her eye but, with Boro back by her side, also a smile Ana spoke to reporters. “Now we have him and we have him for all our life,” García told reporters. “Now let’s go home, buddy.” “Many thanks to all of Spain and everyone who has got involved so much,” she said. “It gave me great hope and we’ve done it.”
Lost dog Success
I can’t take my dog to the park as all the geese keep trying to bite him.
My fault for getting a dog that’s pure bread.
I spotted an albino Dalmatian the other day. It was the least I could do.
I threw a ball for my dog the other day.
A little over the top, but he looked great in a tuxedo.
I used to be in a band, we were called “Lost dog.”
You’ve probably seen our posters.
