IT WAS MIDNIGHT WHEN A GOOD SAMARITAN SAW MATEO TRYING TO PULL A HEAVY LOAD OF GARBAGE UP A GRADED STREET. THE LOAD WAS SO HEAVY, HE JUST COULDN'T GO ANY FARTHER. THE GOOD SAMARITAN WAS SO OUTRAGED, HE DROVE HIS CAR IN FRONT OF THE HORSE AND CONFRONTED THE OWNER WHO WAS MERCILESSLY BEATING MATEO...IF BY LUCK, A POLICE CAR CAME ALONG AND ORDERED THE MAN OFF THE WAGON AND ORDERED HIM TO UN-HARNESS THE HORSE...WE WERE CALLED AND NOW MATEO IS PART OF OUR FAMILY...HE IS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE MANY SCARS ON HIS BODY FROM THE SUB-STANDARD HARNESS, AND FROM YEARS OF ILL TREATMENT...IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS FOR MATEO TO REGAIN HIS HEALTH...HE WILL HAVE TO BE GIVEN VERY SMALL MEALS TWO TO THREE TIMES EACH DAY UNTIL HIS STOMACH IS USED TO HAVING FOOD THAT HASN'T BEEN SCROUNGED FROM THE DUMP...WE WILL BE GIVING HIM VITAMINS AND ANTIBIOTICS TO HELP HIM HEAL.

THIS POOR SOUL HAS BEEN OVER-WORKED FOR 15 HOURS EVERY DAY FOR MOST OF HIS LIFE...NOW WE HAVE TO GIVE HIM A LIFE THAT IS WORTH LIVING.

THIS IS MATEO AT OUR SHELTER...THE EAGLE'S NEST
