'I can't understand why Irish people don't go there to adopt or to help them': The Swedish charity taking Ireland’s unwanted dogs

Just before Christmas 50 unwanted dogs from different shelters across Ireland were taken on a long journey to Sweden.

The sound of a whimpering dog is unsettling, even more unsettling is the sound of 50 dogs whimpering in unison, both young and old, all confused as to why they are where they are.

The barks and cries stop not long after the van door is slid closed, but erupt again once opened and they can see the sunlight and several people looking at them.
