Mayor Saša Mujović visited the Mihajlović family in Podgorica today, offered them support and presented them with gifts, said civic activist Aleksandar Dragićević.
The initial decision of the Capital City Inspection Department (UIP) was to take away the family's therapy dog Medo, but at the end of last week it was announced that Mujović had advocated that this measure not be carried out.
The UIP announced that they have postponed this measure until a new Decision on Keeping Pets and Abandoned Animals is adopted.
Despite that promise from the UIP, civic activists led by Dragićević visited the Mihajlović family today.
"While we were waiting this morning to see if the municipal inspection would show up to take away Danijela's dog Med (even though they said they wouldn't, we're here), I received a call from the mayor's office expressing a desire to visit Danijela, her son and Med, provide them with support and bring gifts for the holidays. Med remains with his family, happy and playful, Professor Mujović has convinced himself that Med is not evil but a happy little dog, and Danijela now believes that no one will take him away," Dragićević said in a post on the social network Facebook.
He said that a sad story had a happy ending and emphasized that we need more stories with happy endings.
"Thank you to the mayor for taking this initiative and brightening a family's day.
"Thank you to everyone who brought the story to light and stood by Danijela - together we prevented a great injustice," Dragićević concluded.
