Sadly Rico “The Big Malakas” has been missing for nearly two weeks now, we are not expecting to see him again.
There are tales of other dogs from the village going missing recently, and still others who have been poisoned. So I guess someone is on a mission to reduce the dog population of southern Kefalonia.
Even sadder, we haven’t been able to find even his body after searching everywhere we can think of for the last week.
So in lieu of a funeral, here are some pictures of his life with us. We hope it was a happy one
