Love and destiny

After a long time and a long confinement due to the pandemic, for Fiestas Patrias we were able to visit our family who lives on the north coast, in the countryside. It is a very beautiful place, surrounded by trees and crops where iguanas, lizards, parrots, hummingbirds and, of course, cats and dogs also live.

When we arrived, one of the dogs had given birth: eight beautiful puppies came out to meet us and conquered our hearts. So, as a family, we took on the task of caring for these little creatures and their mother.

During the week we spent on the farm, the pups grew up and began to play. We heard their barking when we get up and we felt their tiny little tongues caressing our bare feet when we approached them.

From our experience we know that puppies in the mountains are also highly appreciated: many times, people even exchange a puppy for a guinea pig or a hen to have company and someone to take care of the house. So we decided to take the eight puppies and find homes for them.

Along the way, our brother Ramiro Yglesias and his family, from Contumazá, received four of the pups, and in Cajamarca we quickly found a new home for another three. There was a little macho left ...

Then it occurred to us to put a picture of the puppy on the "networks" ... and almost instantly we received a notice from Sócota (in the province of Cutervo), which is about seven hours from Cajamarca: Wilson, a child from the Community Program, wanted to have the puppy.

So we had to organize the puppy's trip. With several stopovers and many hands that took care of him along the way, the little dog arrived safely at his destination. He is now accompanying Wilson… and, as you can see, it is an extraordinary affection.
