Chains of Burden


                                                           


Lefki was tethered 24/7.  I was able to start helping her; - walking, straw, a blanket.



     A great point of distress for me are the chained dogs in Greece. A drive through any rural area and one can not help but notice the large number of them. They are known as barrel dogs; their only shelter from the elements is a tipped over metal barrel that over time becomes rusted and full of holes.  Barrels, however, are not the only items used but whatever the material, these structures are often inadequate.  Sometimes I see dogs chained with out any form of shelter, making the barrel dogs lucky.
