My dog Bella was a street dog in Tirana when we found her. They didn´t even have a pound in the city. Instead, once a year the city would contract men to go out at night and shoot them.
That´s how we ended up with four of them living in our yard at one point. Sadly, we could only take one with us when we left and we chose Bella. They were all great dogs - healthy, smart, friendly, tough. If I could I would have taken them all.
