Ginger
Life can become hard for everyone and dogs are no exception. We all know that dogs are more sensitive and emotional and feel more than any other alive. Ginger was a safety dog in his time in Zambia and sometimes things become difficult and scary for her. Some of the incidents implied that ginger hides under the cars on the property for fear. The dog had desperately need some help, but nobody handed him, until a day ...
Wife
Stuck in the routine in Barcelona, Spain, Sara Ortin León needed a change for the better. Sara had always liked to go to exotic places and explore different cultures. She has planned a trip to Zambia, a country located in Africa. It is well said that"To travel makes a modest,you see whattiny placeyouoccupy in theworld. "Sara was compassionate to others and was always willing to offer his help.
An animal lover
It was the year 2015 when Sara stole Zambia. It was more than a weekly trip that we usually do, she stayed there for almost a year, devotes her time to search and save Chimpanzee in a sanctuary. Sara had two pet dogs in Barcelona namely ula and joy, it will be right to say she was an animal lover.
The sanctuary
Sara defines his time in the sanctuary as one of the events that changes his life in his life, because it was then she had met with ginger. The sanctuary was also a house for many other animals, including several dogs. Ginger was one of the many dogs who lived there. You can call it destiny, like Sara hit in the ginger when she was there.
Love at first sight
How can you not like a dog? law! I mean, is there something cute when you hug them and they lick your own face? Sara was a dog person, and it was love at first sight for Sara, she loved ginger when her eyes caught her. Ginger reminded him of one of the dogs Sara had in her family in Barcelona and started their friendship.
Mutual attraction
Talk about unconditional love and a dog will never disappoint you, ginger too, reciprocated the love she had received from Sara. It was clear as a crystal that Ginger could not have enough Sara, as she would follow Sara around the place like his shadow. Sara felt delighted with this gesture of ginger. It was only at any time where they both got one place for each other in their hearts.
Follow around
Sara's time to the sanctuary asked him to patrol around the place to briefly study the activities of the chimpanese, and when she did, Ginger made sure to accompany her. "It was like 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) there, so we had to go there and come back there," Sara said. It was this long walk that strengthened their friendship.
Cuddle
With each passing day, the link between the duo has grown deep. No matter how long they passed together, it was never enough. At night, Ginger will bend in Sara and licks her face, Sara would give her a warm hug and cuddling. They fell asleep together in the bed, "it was really great," said Sara.
Huge dilemma
Sara had now finished a year living in Zambia, it was time to go home, back to Barcelona. Sara had now grew up getting used to ginger and her company but she did not want to act selfishly. She was stuck in a dilemma, she could not have enough ginger and her heart wanted to bring the dog back with her. In his head, she thought ginger would be happier in Zambia.
Go home
It was a difficult decision to do but Sara returned to Barcelona alone, leaving ginger in Zambia. Sara was back in Barcelona, but I still did not have the impression of home, because "the house is where the heart is" and his heart belonged to ginger and his family was incomplete without her. "I wrote my thesis and I thought I do not want to be in Barcelona anymore," said León. "So I just bought a one-way ticket for Zambia and I left."
Back to Zambia
As soon as Sara arrived at the airport in Zambia, she walked directly to the sanctuary and started looking for ginger. But to his surprise, ginger was not there. She had traveled a long distance just to see ginger, and she did not go home without trying. When she investigated, she was told that"The sanctuary had a lot of dogs, the managers had to solve the problem and they sent the dogs to a different house.s. "
No dogs
He had come to the knowledge of Sara that Ginger was transferred to a mining site as a safety dog. Without further delay, she walked directly to the mining site, she bought dog food on her way and used her as an excuse to get through and feed dogs. She continued to look for a long time but there was no ginger index. In the end, she asked a local section about where the dogs were in which he replied, "There is no dog, madam."Sara was taken on what she had heard while the mining site was the only place where ginger could possibly be.
Research
Was it the intuition of Sara or it never says an attitude? She just knew that ginger was there, she fought strongly on the mining site and her efforts focused on when she attracted the most expected view. And there, ginger, under a car, petrified, as if he had seen a ghost. When Sara approached to kiss her, Ginger did not move a little, as if she did not know Sara. It bothered Sara while Ginger had never acted before she did it now.
A sad news
Sara was caught in the moment and was delighted to have found ginger. But early, she would realize that the flora was still missing. The flora was ginger sister and his companion in the sanctuary, she was also transferred with ginger to the mine like a safety dog. She then discovered that she was beaten to death. It's when a thief arrived on the site and tried to fly from gasoline, the flora caught her, she was a brave dog and she started barking with him and the thief beat her to death with a bat.
Silent puppy
Sara and Ginger had been distant lately, the separation of Sara had made the ginger vulnerable and followed on the mining site had only aggravated things for the poor dog. One might simply look at the dog and say that it was still under a trauma, as ginger would give everyone a silent treatment. Sara could not stand the thought that things would have been different if she had not left the ginger side. So she climbed an idea that would heal ginger and bring it back to life.
The moving
The ginger was literally taking a walk, Sara had ginger sitting in the car, they launched their first many extravagances of travel and therefore started the Africa Duo road from Africa. But not much had changed, the ginger was always silent and would act lost towards Sara's actions. "Ginger continued to look at the car window and stay mute" Sara said.
Together forever
As Anatole France said, "wandering restores the initial harmony that once existed between man and the universe." And who would know it better than Sara, she intended to leave for Malawi. She wanted to travel and explore Africa with ginger. Sara has composed the things that happened in the past, she would not go a moment without ginger and always would mark with her dog with her. She did not have to think twice, it's like she goes, Ginger is with her now.
Scared
Ginger was still traumatized by what she had lived on the mining site, often petrified, she would hide under the cars or vehicle she could match. Sara was worried about ginger because there was a possibility of hitting the dog by a vehicle. Fortunately, for Ginger, she found her confidence over time, everything thanks to an activity that Sara and Ginger would participate.
Jacket
In addition to Sara's Love, the only thing that brings a smile on the ginger face is padding. Sara and Ginger would often visit a lake in Malawi, it has become their thing. The place was a tourist attraction that was famous for its water sport. Sara would help ginger climbing on the paddleboard and the duo would paddle for hours. Sara certainly liked it and was amused finally to see a smile on the face of ginger.
Trek
In addition to Paddle Boarding, the duo also liked hiking in African woods. There is no side to the jungle they have not witnessed. Wildlife helps them keep calm and maintain calm. After a long hike, they often give a fire of joy and enjoy the treasure of the campsite. Sara reads ginger stories and their regular visits made them quite popular among other hikers. Ginger often receives a compliment on his smile from people.
Animal safari
Their life was certainly more than happening, there was nothing that Sara and Ginger did not do to add colors in their lives. The dog that was once scared and petrified that she would hide under a car or truck for now freely errating in the animal safari in the middle of the ruids of the lion and elephants in motion. Sara was initially frightened and shouted: "Oh, God, we are about to die." But to his surprise, the confident gaze on the ginger face assured him, "Do not worry mom," We will go well.
Just the beginning
Sara and Ginger never stuck in the rut, they still had new adventures to come their way. The trekking mountains, going to the safari and attending Lions Roar, had elephants who approach them, putting on boats and paddle, saving dogs and chimpanzees, educating school children on the right to treat dogs and what is not. While most people stop here, for Sara and Ginger, it was only the beginning of adventures that were about to follow.
Back to Barcelona
In addition to Ginger, Sara had his own family who waited for him with anxiety to return to Barcelona. Sara did not think much this time and she started packing her bag. The packaging is definitely not a task that many people like to do and up above, she had to pack two bags - one for her and the other for ginger. But, Sara removed him with a smile on his face when she was delighted to think about adding another member to her family, that is to say ginger.
Happy ginger
Even after moving with Sara, it took a lot of time for ginger to overcome his fear. For about a month, she would hide under any vehicle she could, including cars and trucks. It was sweet sweet for Sara as she was happy to be able to take care of ginger and ensure her safety, but she also broke his heart to watch ginger suffering. It was late but never, ginger again made to his previous self she was with Sara; Happy and playful.
The luckiest dog
It took time for Ginger to realize how privileged she was to have a friend like Sara. Sara always walked her in all places where she would go. Sara made sure the ginger always felt loved. They would go for long walks, playing together, Cuddle and Sara would read with ginger who helped the dog to relax, "while it may seem small, the ripple effects of the little things are extraordinary."
No dogs allowed
Traveling with a dog is not as easy, and it was not easy for Sara either. Although the heavy expenses can not be excluded, there are a dozen restrictions that one has to face while traveling with their dogs. Unlike west, the inhabitants of Africa are afraid of dogs and there were some areas where ginger became quite difficult. For example, Sara had to be very careful at the zoo, she had to make sure that ginger does not work in other animals, which is a trait of a dog. There were often obstructions while crossing African borders because of the lack of appropriate documents that could prove that ginger was not smuggled.
And much more
In the words of Sara "the dogs are amazing" and she had learned a lot from ula and joy (her pet dogs in Barcelona). But it was the ginger who influenced him and changed it for good, he made him the wild nature and taught him the way life should be. She learned a valuable lesson from her experience with ginger that life can be exactly the same as you like, and it is more than happy for this achievement.
Doggo goes to school
People in Africa do not think about dogs and they formed a rigid perception that dogs are dangerous. They often throw stones in dogs or kicks when they meet them in the streets. But "the problems of life would not be called obstacles if there was no way to overcome them." Sara and Ginger got up to the challenge, they started visiting schools and educated students so they do not fear the dogs. Many children interacted with them and gave Sara and Ginger with beautiful memories.
To be sensitive
For a dog, ginger had gone through many things in his life that did it sensitive. Losing his sister and the separation of Sara followed by his relocation had made it compassionate to others. Ginger always takes hold of other dogs who need help. For example, ginger has already spotted a dog in a street and Sara did not see it, Sara thought it was a cat and asked ginger to let go as Ginger began to push. However, it turned out to be a dog that needed help. This dog has a beautiful heart.
Travel diary
Ginger and Sara had the time of their lives in Zambia. They did not miss anything, once Sara took the ginger at one of the places of his friend and had an explosion. Sara did not know at the time that ginger could swim. He came to his knowledge when the ginger plunged into the pool instead of his friend to accompany his Sara. They were having fun and they successfully added another adventure to their travel diary.
So happy
Sara describes its decision to save ginger and make the dog from his traveling companion as the best decision she has ever made. To say that she is happy to make a difference in the life of ginger would be a euphemism. "No word is enough to describe how happy I can have to bring ginger smile, and it makes me as happy too," said Sara. She is pleased that she did not care about expenses that went through travel with ginger.
New family
It is often said that "two people is a friendship and three is a family", his arrival in Barcelona gave ginger a new extended family. In addition to ginger, Sara already had two other pets, namely ula and joy. They were Sara's family dogs. The gang of three has elapsed since the very moment when they met, they would play with each other who ran wild in the yard. A family of herself was the best Barcelona presents for ginger.
Enjoy the city
Ginger had spent the first half of his life in Zambia, for her, life in Barcelona was a brand new experience. His curiosity to discover his new homeland had filled him with enthusiasm. Unlike his life in Zambia, Ginger gets all good attention here, she is worshiped by strangers walking on the streets. She loves everything on this place, fantasy cars, large buildings, streets. In Sara's words, she is more than happy here "she stops after all the steps to feel the other dogs," Sara said.
Adventures to come
Currently, Sara and Ginger are in Barcelona, having fun with their families during the holidays. Their stay here is short because they plan a new travel adventure. However, their lives are not all about travel, pleasure and gambade. The experience of Sara with ginger gave it a new goal in life. After their return to Barcelona, Sara and Ginger took the project to save other stray dogs like ginger, who live a miserable life.
Happy together
What is supposed to be will eventually arrive. They are both happy to be together, "she is like my child," said León. Ginger realizes that she is a lucky dog for being saved by Sara; All dogs can not travel around the world. And for Sara, the meeting had the impression of having met a family member lost for a long time. May they have more adventures and trips in the future to add to their travel diary.
