After few requests from different people we decided to organize the dog shelter visit which was super popular and the capacity got full within few hours. This event was also among 30 events by which we celebrate the 30th birthday of ESN, together with ESN VUT and ESN MENDELU as ESN Brno United.
We left Brno by a public bus at 11:13 and went to a small village called Bukovinka. Immediately after our arrival we met the owner of the dog shelter. She welcomed us and told us some important stuff about her work and the dogs. After this small presentation we met the dogs and could cuddle with them for a few minutes. The owner later put a few dogs on the leash and let us walk them out. With the dogs we spent more than an hour walking in a nearby forest. Most of the students fell in love with their dog so it was hard breaking to leave them in the shelter, but we made it and went for a bus that took us to back to Brno.
Activities with animals are always very popular, and this was no exception. The reactions were very positive from both sides, and we're hoping to organize one more visit during this semester.
