Rescued - A Dog's Tale

A homeless, unloved dog, living on the busy, polluted streets

of Guatemala finds shelter and love through a chance meeting

with a traveller named Ceiba who works as a teacher in a

school located in beautiful Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.

Mani, one of the lucky street dogs, not only finds a friend in

Ceiba her rescuer, she also later finds a permanent home with

a new family to love her in the United States of America.

Mani is one of many street dogs who live in a dangerous and

unfriendly environment for dogs on the noisy, dirty streets of

San Pedro, La Laguna. There is a lack of respect, food and

wellbeing for animals like her in Guatemala. She spends her

days searching for food, shelter and love. After grabbing the

attention of Ceiba and her friend Tony at a cafe, Mani finds

herself on a boat, travelling to the other side of the lake

with her two new companions, on her way to a new beginning.

In the town of Panajachel, Mani has a new home with Ceiba and

it is there she not only receives her name but she also

becomes a healthy, happy and sociable dog, loved by the

students at Ceiba's school.

There are certainly still dangers for Mani as she navigates

her way through a new life with Ceiba. She must endure a

procedure with a veterinary doctor, survive a vicious attack

by two dogs and face the reality of separation from the person

that saved her life
