Licking the Los Angeles Times

There’s mucho tail wagging today in Mosquera, a suburb of Bogota Free Planet’s home city, and a huge sigh of relief from dog lovers too. If only they could, the 30,000 stray dogs who roam the streets of Mosquera, would lick the front page of latimes.com in gratitude. A shelter of their own to someday call home and headline news in the Los Angeles Times is the best they’ve ever done.

Bones and scratches behind the ear for all! When BFP went out to photograph some of the sad dogs who forage for feed in Mosquera last year, we were sad to see how many there were. Some of the dogs were so skinny from lack of food they could take over the runways at the next big model show. No one here wants to see Fido starving but no one knows want to do about it. Now that the LA Times is in on the act, it won’t be long before the dogs have their very own pound! More... Rodrigo Pardo is the Managing Editor of Bogota Free Planet.
