Young people are sometimes told that a sabbatical is just an excuse to sleep late.
But for 22-year-old Caroline Riis, the reality is different. When she rolls out of bed in the morning, she immediately throws herself into the first of the day’s many chores:
– How busy we are depends on how many volunteers we have. Right now there are only two of us, so there won’t be much time to lie on the beach, says Caroline Riis regarding the teams connection from the Greek holiday island of Crete.
Behind her, a cacophony of dog barks rises as Nikos Tsikalakis, owner and promoter of the Bronx Familia Animal Shelter, returns home from an errand. His Greek boarding school currently houses 250 former street dogs, which Caroline Riis helps to look following.
Dogs that – if they had been born in Denmark – would have been someone’s pet, are exposed to atrocities in Crete that can be difficult to understand. Some are shot, starved and poisoned. Others run over, bound with chains and left to certain death if disease and parasites don’t kill them first.
