Aslan & Rose

He says when it came time to flee Damascus, he never dreamed of leaving Rose behind. ‘I love my dog,’ he says. ‘ I need him’. He's a nice cap and everybody will understand why he was taking his dog with him...


Sure, UNHCR is clearly addressing this message to Hunderts of Millions of pet lovers. I actually would have preferred a bit more maturity and not so much emotion: how about if UNHCR would ask the question what life is more worth, - this of drowned people in the Mediterranean or the life of all the people whose head was cut off by the criminal lunatics of ISIS/Desh. If both life are worth, so why is then the so called civilised world arming "moderate rebells" to enable these criminals to commit their murderous acts. But just don't let me open a can of worms, the lies are stinking to to sky!

I love my dog!

"Some people will ask - you have only a small bag?""Yes.""And you bring your dog?""Yes.""Why?""I love my dog!"Many animal lovers will relate to this 17-year-old boy from Damascus, Syria. And we've seen many like him carrying their animals with them on the long journey from Syria, across the Mediterranean Sea and through Europe. When forced to flee home because of war, many people would never dream of leaving their pets behind.
