One question
Who’s your favourite
Where can people donate funds to help the dogs?
now thats the biggest pack ive ever seen xD
This is the best thing i ever saw in my life ????????????
God bless them all and their caretakers!
I wish the subtitles was larger and a different color than yellow
I want to donate them 10,000$ per month for the dogs food
I know our creator JEHOVAH GOD will bless this woman for showing love compassion and a better life to his creatures. They should set a go fund me page for monetary donations to provide the dogs with medical care food and building shelter homes and adoption agencies for them. We all can have a part in showing compassion. May JEHOVAH help her always for the kind heart she displays.
I dont like people as much as I like dogs and animals but it's people like this woman that are my very last hope for humanity. People who care for animals like this have the largest ❤'s and are 100% accepted and cared about by me.
the only dogs i hate are the ones that bark at everything…even you….give me anxiety af. the little ones lmao
Jeez, sad that humans value dogs over homeless humans
I too give food to 15 to 20 street dogs but people are sick from their minds. They object my giving food. They see us by hatred.
Too bad the costa rican gov dumps the responsibility on them and them and regulates the he'll out of them sucking their $ away with no help
