Rain clouds gather in Brussels as I arrive at the picturesque 19th century building that houses Eurogroup for Animals. Once inside, a small cream dog named Mila stops halfway towards me before turning on her paws and running to hide behind a door. I sit on the floor and wait. Eventually she braved the length of the corridor; lithe spirit with crooked legs enhancing her grace. After a cursory sniff, she kissed me on the nose, twice, before running up the stairs.
“What a perfect way to start a meeting,” I said to Reineke Hameleers, the Director of Eurogroup for Animals, who tells me how her vegan journey evolved.
