“From Hell to The story of Darth
Carmen: I rescued him the day he was going to be put down. I was in Madrid and he was in San Sebastián in the north of Spain. Some people from the shelter had come to my office to do an interview with a great friend of mine and I was the managing director at the time of an actress very involved with animal welfare and animal abuse. I was working at my office and Anakin was with me and these ladies came in and told me “OMG, there is a dog at this shelter (in San Sebastián) who is going to be killed because the vet at the shelter has told us that he would never ever be able to make it.” He was rescued while he was being eaten by other dogs, had been abused by his former owner. He was urinating with blood. Barbara, don’t ask me what happened. Lick: Oh my. Carmen: I raised my head from the computer and I told them “Do you know what? I want that dog. Yes, I want that dog, I am going to rescue that dog!” Yes Barbara, something inside of me told me that... you know? Lick: Yes.. Carmen: And the ladies told me, “Carmen, we don’t want to dishearten you, but we think this dog is in very serious condition and may not survive.” And I said “Yes, he will” and “he is going to be called ‘Darth Vader’ and he needs the force to heal and he will have it.” Barbara, at that time I had not even seen a picture of Darth Vader. NO, I JUST KNEW IT!
