In his gaze we saw all the sweetness of old age.
We saw how sensitive, how vulnerable and how incredibly sweet older animals are.
The mask on his face makes him look even sadder, and he reminded us of a commedia dell'arte protagonist, so we named him Pierrot.
Pierrot is a dog that simply exists in space, does not bother anyone, does not require anything. He simply accepts what you have to offer, and his presence is so discreet that it is almost non-existent.
He has very few needs. He wants a corner where he feels safe, good food and a little human companionship, which he never demands, but accepts when offered.
For all the above, we loved him as soon as we saw him in the 8th TNR campaign, and we couldn't let him go back to the streets. Maybe there's a home for him out there, maybe not. What is certain is that he will spend his last years with respect, dignity and as much love as we can give him.
