Come and listen to a story ’bout a dog named Ginger . . .
When Doreen H. came to Guatemala on a medical mission, she had no idea she’d meet a Pana street dog and fall head over heals in love! Sound crazy? Well, here’s the rest of the story.
Doreen stayed a couple of nights in Panajachel at the end of her time in the “bush” with a human medical team. They had traveled into some remote areas of Guatemala and definitely deserved some R&R.
While out and about, Doreen met Ginger, a sweetheart of a gal dog. They spent as much time together as possible before Doreen had to pack and head back to Texas. It was an eternal bonding experience for both!
The week after returning home, Doreen couldn’t stand being without Ginger anymore. After a family discussion, it was decided that she would return to Panajachel with an airline approved kennel in the hopes of finding Ginger and transporting her back to Texas and her new home. She booked her airline ticket and emailed Selaine, Healthy Pets program director for help.
The day Doreen arrived back in Pana just one week later, she checked into one of Patti M’s apartments at around 4:30 p.m. She and Selaine met and devised a plan to locate and nab Ginger. Now, here’s the serendipitous part:
At 7 p.m., Doreen descended down the stairs at Patti’s, looked out the glass door at the bottom of the stairwell and who was waiting for her??? Right — Ginger!! There was no need to look, she found Doreen — again! These two were absolutely meant to be together.
The paperwork was completed in a few days and they were off to Texas. We’ve since heard that Ginger loves her new home and family and vice-versa. They sure look happy to us!
