Tania Capelluti moved to Costa Rica to open her own yoga studio, but soon after she arrived, she found a stray dog at the beach. She took the starving pup home, nursed her back to health, and named her Kuki. But Capelluti didn’t just acquire a new pet; the experience of rescuing Kuki changed her:
“I saw the development of her,” Cappelluti remembered. “She was a super shy, scared street dog who became such a loyal, loving incredible dog. And that gave me such joy in a spiritual way.”
Capelluti teamed up with two other women and started a rescue operation that has enjoyed some remarkable successes. . . .
