Feven Melese cares for abandoned dogs in Addis Ababa

Feven Melese, a 29-year-old woman in Addis Ababa, is dedicated to caring for abandoned dogs, providing food and medical attention to hundreds weekly. She runs an improvised shelter for 40 dogs and works to change societal attitudes in Ethiopia, where dogs are often seen as guardians rather than companions. Melese's efforts face challenges, including public fear and limited resources, but she continues advocating for humane treatment and adoption programs.
