Tafari

He was filthy, his fur all covered in dreadlocks, starving, afraid, sitting on the side of the road. An empty cardboard box which he had probably been abandoned, lay next to him. He was likely a caged dog his whole life, confined to sit and sleep in his own excrements until his neglectful owners had enough of his pitiful state and dropped him off on the side of the road.

We took him in, naming him Tafari and with extensive food bribes we slowly gained his trust. One by one the dreads blinding his vision were cut but as we removed them we noticed he had milky white circles in his eyes and was often not seeing the treats we were tossing his way. Tafari had cataracts and was partially blind. He also had inflammation and a general skin infection.
Today, the skin issues are mostly gone while his partial blindness remains since doctors say that he is too old to treat. This doesn’t stop him from jumping around and greeting us warmly while keeping on the look out for more kibbles, cuddles and company. As Tafari’s Guardian Angel, you can help us provide just that!
