The players of Espanyol, a Spanish football club, made a heartwarming gesture before their La Liga game against Mallorca this weekend. Instead of the usual mascots, the players walked out onto the field accompanied by dogs. This was part of a campaign called "Los pericos no abandonado!" which translates to "The parakeets don't abandon!" The aim of this campaign is to help find new homes for abandoned dogs.
This is not the first time that Espanyol has participated in this campaign. Last year, the team successfully rescued 11 dogs from the streets and also collected over 2,000kg of food and other essentials like towels and blankets. In order to raise awareness for this cause, every player who started the game had a dog by their side.
The fans were also encouraged to contribute by donating canned food and blankets at the stadium. Espanyol's statement regarding this initiative said, "With this action, the club wants to make a positive impact on society and raise awareness about this issue." It was heartwarming to see the players and the fans come together for such a noble cause.
One of the players, Pol Lozano, attended a press conference with his rescue dog Mango earlier this month. Mango, who is only five months old, was also abandoned and found on the streets. "We adopted him when he was just a baby, barely a month old. We found him and his brothers in a pile of rubbish. My best friend took one of his brothers and I took Mango," said Lozano.
He went on to say, "It's one of the best things that has happened to me in my life. It's important that we raise awareness for these animals who sometimes have more feelings than people. They can be a crucial part of someone's life." It was heartwarming to see Lozano and Mango together, proving that dogs truly are man's best friend.
The initiative taken by Espanyol not only helps abandoned dogs find new homes but also sheds light on the issue of animal abandonment. It's important to remember that these animals have feelings too and can make a positive impact on our lives. Let's all take a lesson from Espanyol and do our part in making this world a better place for our furry friends.
