Pepita.. a stray goes home!

I remember the day I met Pepita like it was yesterday. I sometimes worked as volounteer on a dog yard which cooperates with a dog rescue station in Kalamata. We were waiting for a new “delivery” of around 15 strays from Kalamata to give to families. A friend of mine would go with his truck early in the morning, and I would go to the yard in the afternoon, after work, with a friend and his dog.


I knew beforehand which dogs would arrive. I was torn between two dogs to take home with me. None of those was Pita. Both dogs were nice, but none was interested in me. I was a bit pissed about that but then there was this white yound dog that never left my side.  This young dog was Pepita (Pita) and she was around one year old at the time. The owner of the yard asked me why I wasn’t interested in her, and he said something I will never forget:
- It’s not always the lordling (human) that chooses the animal, sometimes it’s the animal that chooses the lordling.


So … Pita, after a hell of bureucracy, got in the car and we went home together. On the arrival at my house, she started shaking and wouldn’t stop. We went inside from the back, through the garden. The first hours were pretty stressfull for all of us. Pita had never lived in a house and was very scared to do anything. She wouldn’t walk, she wouldn’t go near anything else, wouldn’t eat anything, or even drink water. After a couple of days she started to get more self assured. All of this happened a year and a half back.


Pita is the pefect dog in any way. Very easy to take care and understands all commands after the training she got. She loves to cuddle, is very playful, and loves to go for long walks into the forrest.
Like any other adopted stray, she is very thankfull to have a home and somebody to take care of her.


I often think about how my life would be without her.. When you own a pet, like a dog, there are some restrictions to your own activities and outings, or even trips. But all than means nothing compared to the love of a dog. If I had the chance to turn back time.. I would do it again!
