Santiago is filled with street dogs, they follow you home, chase cars in the streets and have their own little spot located in one of Santiago's biggest parks.
In forestal park, right by Lastarria's neighborhood there is a part of the park that is filled with about 10 dog houses. Periodically the "friends of the park" program hold adoptions here and little puppies arrive and await for someone to take them home with them. Lots of street dogs will also fill the little houses at night, keeping them warm during the winter months.
It is such a cool project that is located right in the park. I like to stop by and sometimes just hang out with the puppies. I would take all of them home with me if I didn't live in a tiny apartment with my own little doggie darling. In the pup village (as I like to think of it) there is also food and water put out for the adoption pups and the dogs who pass by the park. read more
