Some of the volunteers struggle to communicate with the kennel help, while others gather at the end of the building to stare at the long abandoned line of rabbit hutches. Just beyond the tracks tote-board, camels, zebras and lions can be seen roaming around. It is a surreal experience. The volunteers have come too far to leave empty handed. Quiet huddled conversations begin.
Voices become louder, sentences punctuated by sharp rapid arm movements.
After what seems an eternity, the gates yawn open and the trucks are allowed in. How special each dog seems. The group of volunteers have come for nine dogs. Yes, two more. Load them up.
