The Zuleta family found a new home in Colombia with more opportunity after leaving Venezuela, thanks to their dog.
BOGOTÁ, Colombia — It is hard to start a new life in a different country with no resources, but one exiled family's circumstances have taken a happy turn. And it started with the presence of a street dog.
After 15 years working as a technician at a state oil company and living a stable middle-class life, Zuleta found that Venezuela's extreme food and medical shortages and skyrocketing prices had turned the family's life upside down. Although it was hard seeing his children’s pain leaving the only life they knew, Zuleta said he would rather clean toilets in another country to give them a chance at a good education.
