Chata Gil, a Los Angeles resident and California native, is known for her kind-hearted nature. During a trip to El Salvador to visit family, she was taken aback by the large number of stray dogs roaming the streets. Despite their appearances scaring others away, Chata made it her mission to help one particular dog that had been ignored by everyone else.
In a restaurant, a dog roamed around from one table to another to find something to eat. Despite its efforts, no one paid attention to it and shooed it away, labeling it as “ugly” without any empathy. Despite the disapproval of many, Chata decided to go against the norm and feed the dog. She faced ridicule, but it didn’t deter her from acting on her kindness.
Chata was haunted by thoughts of the dog he had left behind, so he set off in search of him. After abandoning the poor creature on the street, Chata felt compelled to go back and rescue him. However, he was fearful that the dog would be harmed if he tried to intervene.
In an effort to boost the dog’s spirits, the woman fed her once more before arranging for the pup to be taken to a veterinarian through the Miracles of Love Association in El Salvador. Upon examination, the vet found that the dog was actually in better health than her appearance initially suggested. Initially, the woman had thought that euthanasia may have been necessary due to the dog’s visible distress.
Chata reached out to the Saving Huey Foundation animal rescue group based in the US for help in rescuing a dog whom she named Sal. Although Chata planned on leaving the country soon, she made sure that Sal was safely taken care of in El Salvador until he’s fit to travel to Southern California.
The rescue group belonging to Sal has reached out to Tracy Lystra, one of the team members of Saving Huey Foundation. Tracy is keeping a close eye on Sal’s progress and footing his medical expenses via Paypal.
