This is a podcast to raise awareness for the fate of hunting dogs in Spain, especially the Galgos. You'll hear interviews with animal welfarists and 
people that stand up for the Galgos in several ways.
 Although it's not my native language this podcast is in 
English to make it more international. And it is my second podcast dedicated to the Galgo. My first podcast is called Jaspers Abenteuer. It is in German and there I talk about Jaspers journey into our life. It’s about how we became familiar with Galgos and the experiences we gain.
