Le pays se débarrasse des animaux errants… en les abattant. Cette situation s’explique par l’indifférence de la plupart des habitants du pays à l’égard de ces animaux. Mais il y a une femme qui se soucie du sort de ces animaux errants. En l’espace de cinq ans, elle a recueilli chez elle plus de 200 chiens blessés, abandonnés et affamés.

The country is getting rid of stray animals - by shooting them. This is happening because most people in the country are indifferent to stray animals. But there is one woman who cares about the lives of these stray animals. Over the course of 5 years, she has accumulated over 200 injured, abandoned and starving dogs in her home. From discomfort and inconvenience, her neighbors have sued her and have already won twice. At the moment, the heroine is awaiting a third lawsuit, the likelihood of losing this trial is known to many. But she is ready to do anything to save her dogs. Will she be able to save them? Or will they be liquidated by court order?!
