AS AN ENGLISH resident on the beautiful island of Thassos, I would just like to pass on some news. The animal sanctuary on the island relies heavily on donations and goodwill to feed all the animals that it houses. We have been informed today that one of the dogs, rehomed to Germany, was trained as a sniffer dog and is now in Haiti doing a wonderful job assisting in the vital rescue work. Many people wonder why someone devotes their life to the rescue of animals but when you hear of the good work that this dog is doing who can argue that these animals aren't worth saving?
