Meet Florcita, a brave young girl whose story is a testament to the kindness of humanity and the indomitable spirit of the innocent. Despite facing unimaginable adversity, she has emerged stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Let me tell you a tale of both despair and hope that highlights the devastating aftermath of neglect and the valiant fight to save one life. Florcita’s rescue occurred in surroundings that would make any animal lover weep. She was denied sustenance and water and discovered in a state of immense agony. The extent of her injuries became evident when medical examinations disclosed an alarming truth: her blood sugar and white blood cell counts were alarmingly low, while her liver enzymes had reached dangerously high levels.
The rescue team acted swiftly to save Florcita’s life as her critical condition worsened with each passing day. She was struggling to breathe, and dehydration caused the veins to rupture. She also had severe diarrhea infested with parasites that made her condition worse. Onlookers could only empathize with the caretakers as they watched Florcita suffer.
Despite everything, there was a glimmer of hope when Florcita managed to eat some hand-shredded chicken. However, she was too weak to even open her mouth. Her situation remained perilous as her kidneys began to fail, and her body temperature kept dropping. The caretakers prayed for a miracle to give Florcita strength and help her 7kg body survive.
Despite the tireless efforts made to save Florcita, the outcome was devastating. Her body could not fight any longer, leaving her supporters heartbroken. The news of her passing spread like wildfire, affecting all those who had followed her journey. She has become a symbol of vulnerability and loss, forever remembered by those who hoped for her triumph.
Florcita’s tragic end highlights the need for compassion, responsible pet ownership, and the protection of innocent lives. It reveals the harsh reality of neglect and abuse on the weakest members of our society. The collective grief felt by her supporters emphasizes the profound impact that such stories can have on our consciousness.

The pet I’ll never forget: Ella the puppy threw up on me, snubbed me and after 10 years decided to love me
Mum, Dad, my brother Michael: everyone in the family got more affection from our ridgeback-staffie cross. And guess whose bed she used to poo on…
I think the tone was set when Ella threw up over me on the way back from the Dogs Trust. She was three months old, rolling around on the back seat between me and my twin brother, Michael (we’d just turned seven), and wasn’t enjoying her first trip in a car. She could have been sick anywhere – over the seat, over the floor – but for some reason she decided to climb on to me first.
It was the start of a beautiful but strangely one-sided friendship. Ella, a ridgeback-staffie cross, was the perfect dog: playful, energetic, naughty and tolerant. She would let us poke and prod her without complaint, turn her ears inside-out or dress her up in T-shirts or the thick woollen poncho my Greek Cypriot grandma knitted her for the British winter. And she was endlessly loving, at least to the other members of the family. Me? Too often it was as if I didn’t exist. If Michael and I were sitting on the sofa, she’d bound up to him. If I came home after a day out with my dad, he was the one she’d jump at. If I tried to take her for a walk by myself, she’d drag her feet and insist that I fetch my brother.
To add insult to injury, about once a year she would do a poo in the house. Not just anywhere, though: she’d climb the stairs to my room and leave it in a neat pile on top of my bed.
I can’t pretend I wasn’t offended by Ella’s attitude – I loved her just as much as anyone. But it took me a while to realise that in her eyes we were both bitches fighting for our place in the pack. I read that dogs are 98.8% wolf, even yappy little chihuahuas. Ella was a definite she-wolf and my mother (she who opened the tin of dog food every night) was the undisputed alpha female. Ella could handle that fact, but she didn’t want to be the omega female. That was me.
Working out the reasons for Ella’s lack of sisterhood, understanding that her indifference was atavistic and not just casual, didn’t make me any less jealous of my brother, who always took great pleasure in the fact that Ella seemed to prefer him. But I resigned myself to the situation. And then one day (happy ending, anyone?) everything changed. I must have been 16 or 17, we’d been away for a fortnight in France, and when we got back it was me she ran up to first, whining and twisting with pleasure at seeing me again. After that it was like all those years of competition had never happened. We were best friends for ever, or at least for the couple of years she had left. Ella finally loved me.
