2 Women prove to be these hounds best friends

'Having a stroll among the flowers in Texas'
Two rescued salukis, on the brink of death when they were found some seven weeks ago, have recovered and been given new homes in the US thanks to the dedication and hard work of the ‘Dogs in Doha,’ group and volunteers in Qatar and the US.
Group founder Birgit Marguerite explained that Bousa and Sanaya were found in “a very bad condition,” and that she was worried whether they would survive. “We didn’t know if they were going to make it,” she said, explaining that the dogs both weighed around 10kg, were extremely malnourished and seemed to be in general poor health.”
After having the dogs checked over, someone who saw pictures of the dogs was willing to give them a foster home and nurture them back to full health. And after just two weeks, the dogs had put on a good deal of weight and were looking much healthier.
“Both girls are fighters and we were not going to give up on them,” explained Marguerite. She contacted the Italian Greyhound Rescue group in Dallas, Texas, who arranged a foster home for the dogs, meaning all that remained was to get them to their new home.
Luckily, another friend found out about the dogs on Marguerite’s website, www.dogsindoha.weebly.com, and promised to make sure they would be flown back to the US.
An American citizen, Judy, offered assistance to Marguerite by pledging to take the dogs home to the US when she next travelled there. Last week she took Bousa and Sanaya to their new home. “These two very special dogs have been mistreated in the most horrible way by being totally forgotten,” she claimed, “with this trip to Texas, they will have the once in a lifetime chance to live with people who cherish and care for them as members of their family.”
“‘Dogs in Doha’ has been making amazing accomplishments with finding abandoned and neglected dogs loving foster homes and/or adoptive homes,” she added.
“I would like to thank everyone who has helped me get the funds together and help to send these two gorgeous girls to Dallas,” said Marguerite, showing gratitude to Starlink, Iloveqatar, Doha Vets, Qatar Pet Travel and Judy. “So many dogs get dumped here, if we had the pet passport scheme owners would be able to relocate their pets easily and a large number of these animals would be saved from this suffering.”

Hambra, very generous of you. But no thank you, I leave all that to you. Not my cup of tea.
You are welcome to get the experience.
hambra, seems you have experience....
Dogs are fully trained to act when you are undressed.
What about Kats? i can act like a Kat will they love me?
Snowyowl, for your kind information, I did not want to public it but honestly speaking almost everyday I help no matter what it takes money, emotions or time. Sooner or latter you will find me.
Speed, appreciate! What?
Don’t be a fool; dogs are more important to these people than their own parents (waiting in the old houses for them to see once a week). They will definitely find human in helpless condition such as not paid for months and have very little to eat. But they love dogs more than anything. All they have to do is visit one of the farmhouses near mesaieed.
If you act “dog” they will love you too.
hambra It was humans that almost killed the dogs, so these people helped. When was the last time you did something that cost you time, money and emotional heartache for someone or something?
work for human?
Learn to appericiate others!
Wish they would do some good work for Human too.
