Where Did You Find Your Dog?

I saw him on the website of a local non profit association called RAC (Canine Network Support) here in Venezuela. He was waiting to be operated on after being hit by a car. He had a fractured leg and the saddest face in the world and needed a temporary home for recovery, so I decided to help him until he found permanent home…

Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.

Actually, deep in my heart I always knew it, but about 3 or 4 weeks after I adopted him ”temporarily” they called me to say that some other people wanted to adopt him permanently and in that instant I realized I couldn’t live without him. He trusted me and I couldn’t disappoint him.

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

He changed my life in many ways but to coexist with an animal was such a revealing experience that I even became vegetarian.
I finally made the connection and now all animals are in my Otto’s eyes. A small miracle occurred. His face is the first thing I see every morning and the last thing I see at the end of the day. The feeling is very simple: happiness.

We live in Caracas but we are moving to Madrid next month.

About Project Blue Collar:
Project Blue Collar (PBC) is a global grassroots movement and passion brand dedicated to promoting dog adoption. PBC is striving to tell a different story about rescue dogs – not one of pity and sadness, but one that celebrates the joy and love that comes from welcoming a rescue dog into your family. Their goal is simple: To elevate the status of rescue dogs as prized pets and inspire more people to adopt.
PBC’s signature Support the Underdog® Blue Collar is the symbol of the movement. Taking the concept of the rubber cause wristband and making it into an accessory dog collar, this symbol gets conversations going and lets dogs be the marketers of the movement. The Support the Underdog® Blue Collar gives people a way to show their “rescue pride” and tell their dog’s story. Even dogs who weren’t adopted can join the movement to show their support for rescue dogs.
To date, PBC has “Blue Collared” dogs in 11 countries and in all 50 U.S. states. PBC donates a portion of their sales to rescue groups to support their lifesaving work. Visit www.projectbluecollar.com to learn more.
