In these days of pain for Italy because of a big earthquake that left nearly 300 people dead in Abruzzo – men, women, children who lost their life, their house, their parents and now they have nothing – I saw civil protection personnel and social operators helped by dogs to try to save as many lives as possible.

Dogs are helping us. We believe in animals.

I don’t want to think that people in Malta and Gozo became so cruel with animals... once again remember... when you feel sad, when you need help... animals help you.

Stop being cruel and give them the chance to live!

Only love can change things.
