Speranta means hope and that’s exactly what three generations of women are giving to hundreds of dogs in Romania.
Earlier this year, my rescue dog Vinnie donned his best bow tie and joined me at the Tea and Tails afternoon tea event at Love My Human Townhouse Cafe in Chelsea. Alongside delicious treats and a professional portrait by pet photographer Amie Barron, we were there to learn about the inspiring work of these women who have dedicated their lives to helping Romania’s stray dogs.
