To open the ninth day of La Liga against Mallorca, the Espanyol Barcelona players entered the pitch, accompanied by abandoned dogs looking for a home. An initiative that the Catalan club had already carried out last year.
A nice gesture to start the weekend. At the opening of the ninth day of La Liga this Saturday afternoon, Espanyol Barcelona hosted Mallorca. When the players entered, the Catalans entered the pitch alongside abandoned dogs, looking for a home.
“It is very important for us to be aware of all this. They have feelings, sometimes even more than people,” said Pol Lozano, present at a press conference on Friday, also next to a dog, Mango , her recently adopted puppy.
Espanyol Barcelona, a follower of these initiatives
At the start of the season, the Spanish club is strongly involved in the animal cause. Since this Saturday, and until October 13, collections of blankets, towels and even food are organized. And each donor will then participate in a draw to try to win a signed jersey and a VIP experience within the stadium.
To announce the great initiative that his club is putting in place, Pol Lozano appeared at a press conference this Wednesday with Mango, his recently adopted puppy. A rather funny situation… which did not bother the young dog, who appeared particularly at ease. In front of the journalists, he remained quietly next to his master. “We adopted him when he was practically a baby, not even a month old. Keeping him was one of the best things that ever happened to me,” said Lozano who found the puppy in a trash can.
Last season, the Catalan club had already scheduled an entry of players accompanied by dogs looking for a home. In a press release, the Catalans prided themselves on having found a home for eleven dogs and gathering more than 2,000 kilos of food and different materials.
