Charlie was rescued from a horrible place, where apart from the existing strays, it is infamous because there are dog owners who actually drive there, to abandon their unwanted dogs, and come back without them. Apsropyrgos is an industrial suburb in the outskirts of Athens, and a wasteland. Ellie, Laura and I spent a whole day there, going around with a local volunteer who rescues, feeds and cares for dozens of stray dog. One of them was Charlie, who had just been abandoned there and was too loving to ignore.
