Malnourished, with shattered joints from living crammed into a cage, blind in one eye and with very little vision in the other. The initial diagnosis was untreated leishmaniasis and polyarthritis. A man had rescued the Chihuahua from a sack in a dumpster. He thought it was a litter of kittens. "I called the police and reported the owner. He had thrown it in the manure, chip and all," Gallego recalls. When she went to trial, she asked the judge to consider the animal's situation in the sentence. "She just told me, 'Nothing is planned here.' I thought, how could that be, since it was the subject of the trial?" Marta remained silent. No one has reimbursed her for the more than 3,000 euros spent on Lolita, officially in the name of her abuser, who was sentenced to three months in prison. With no prior convictions, he is not required to serve time.</p>]]></description>
