In October of 2022, my husband and I went on our honeymoon to St Lucia. On that trip we witnessed hundreds (maybe thousands) of stray dogs that were in horrible conditions. They are seen as nuisances to the locals and do not get the care they need. At our resort, we had a dog wonder around that was very friendly and polite. She would come around during meal times to see what she could get to eat. As the week went on she began to recognize me and would follow me around and take naps in our room. One day when she was eating breakfast with us (steak and eggs) and the resort called pest control to come remove her from the property and dump her elsewhere on the island. We came to find out this is a common practice. However, I could not let that happen. We contacted a rescue to help, but they were all completely full and almost out of funds. Luckily, the founder of Bruno Project found a local woman that would "board" her until we could get her shipped to New Hampshire. A few weeks later she made it home. This dog is now Lucy, the smallest of our rescues.
