Life was hard for Old Macdonald.

He was relentlessly driven by a group of children to whom he was forced to give “rides” and then beaten when, completely exhausted, he was unable to move anymore.

Fortunately a compassionate resident of the Robinvale, Atlantis community made a call that day, a call that would ignite a chain of events and change the course of Old Macdonald’s life forever, a call to the Cape of Good Hope SPCA.
