I Saw A Man Who Walks With A Trolley Around Mexico Saving Hundreds Of Homeless Dogs And His Story Touched Me
A few months ago, I was driving out of the small Mexican town of Mazunte, Oaxaca, when I saw a peculiar sight on the side of the road. A man was pushing a trolley along the road surrounded by dogs. Dogs were on top of his trolley. Dogs were behind him, in front of him and by his side. Tails were wagging furiously, barks were sounding and he just kept pushing his trolley through the heat.
This is the story of Edgardo Perros. He has walked 14,000 km around the perimeter of Mexico saving injured and sick dogs! Over the last six years, he has saved nearly 500 dogs. His humility and compassion for all beings were so striking that it touched me. For example, when he finds a dog that is too injured to be saved, he lies down with it on the road so it has company as it passes on.
His selfless attitude and service to these animals and the people he meets are so inspirational. Check out his Facebook page.

Edgardo Perros is walking the entire perimeter of Mexico while pushing a trolley with dogs and helps those in need along the way
“No one helps dogs living homeless on the roads. This is where I saw their pain,” said 49-year-old Edgardo
“What hurts me the most, is not the battered, hurt or abandoned dogs. It is the person that is doing it”
“I think that what someone in this situation needs, no matter if a person or animal, is some company and even a little bit of love”
Over the past six years, he has rescued and successfully homed close to 500 sick and injured dogs
He has found many dogs that were too damaged to be rescued. “Usually, I just keep them company, until in a natural way, they rest,” said Edgardo
To date, he has walked nearly 14,000 km around Mexico. He only has 1,432 km left to travel to reach his goal
Edgardo has three dogs of his own that have been by his side from the beginning of his journey 6 years ago
This is Negro
Blanco
and Chilletas
Patuleco was born with “swimmers syndrome“ and has dysplasia which means he doesn’t have knees. He’s been on the road with Edgardo for 3 years
A three-legged master Sin Pata has been traveling for a year now, and is waiting to be adopted
A beautiful China Pong is looking for a permanent home and has been on the road with him for almost three years
Kiwi was found with a severe skin condition but is now well and looking for a forever home
Little Enzo is now healing in a clinic after leg amputation due to bone infection. After that, he will join the journey and learn how to walk from Sensei Sin Pata
Other dogs have been castrated, vaccinated and are learning to behave before they are ready for adoption
“I can’t live the rest of my life just saying ‘I traveled once around Mexico and helped dogs.’ I want to continue to work with dogs”

The most important part of this article is the Donate link at the top. You don't have to give $100. Even if you can only give $3, do it. Don't just read this article and feel good about how much compassion you have. Make your compassion count.
Thank you for pointing that out! I hadn't even noticed the link. I've gone and donated.

Please share and donate if you are able. This man touched me so deeply and I am sure you will find that his selflessness is touching for you too!
"Usually, I keep them company, until in a natural way, they rest" --- I donated.
With Christmas fast approaching, there are so many corporate cocktails I have to go to (working in relationship). I really wish they'd cancel one and donate the fund to help animals and people who help animals. Every time I mention it in a casual way (have to), I get those "you're so kind" or "we'd like to show our partners our appreciation". Nothing meaningful is done :(
Considering donating in exchange for gifts. Most people will appreciate it.

God Bless Edgardo for saving all these dogs on the streets of Mexico. :)
what a blessing for you to do that and get a good deal for the dogs
I wish more folks were helping out the stray animals and finding time to help the sick, injured and neglected dogs
This is so lovely. I couldn't do it, I'd be too upset every time I found one a home and had to leave it behind.
Met him when he was in Playa del Carmen. He made quite an impact on all of us who have met him.
Please donate, so few caring and giving people left in this world, I hope my donation helps him continue, god bless
