When we emigrate we leave not only our loved ones behind but also our pets who for obvious reasons do not travel with us.

In our case we had to leave our dog called "Negra" in the care of a sister, who is not of a privileged breed but was given to me by a childhood friend who did it because he didn't have enough to feed her.

From the first moment she won everyone's affection for being very affectionate and quickly learned the rules of the house, the first being not to sleep inside the house but in the backyard in the daytime and around the house at night.

She learned to eat what she could give them and it was usually one more plate of our daily food, so instead of eating only once at night she ate three times a day, no matter what kind of food, so she still ate bread, arepa, cheese, banana or cane, chicken and bones.

When I made my trip she was two years old and as if guessing what would happen that day she was in the room and put her head on the bed for me to caress her, making a face that every time I see the photo brings tears to my eyes.

I keep it on my mobile phone and I pray that she stays healthy so that I will have the chance to see her at some point.

I always send my aunt some money to buy her chicken feet, her favourite food.

"Negra" is a being of light who came to us in a difficult time and with her love she healed the wounds of many of us.

I have been looking into the legal steps to bring her to me but they are not yet within my reach.
