This photo taken on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015 shows professional dog trainer Tzouli Tounta, 43 _ a former journalist _ posing with one-year-old pit bull Benny, whom she is training, in an Athens park. Tounta, who lost her job 18 months ago due to company cutbacks, after working for 17 years in major Greek daily newspapers, says she has not yet made up her mind on who to vote for in Greece’s Jan. 25 general election. After her year’s unemployment benefit payments ended, she decided to work with what she dearly loves – animals. She enrolled in a training course, and is now in the process of expanding her clientele. Tounta says she doesn’t expect the elections to bring about any significant changes, but is adamant that Greece must remain within the club of 19 European countries that use the euro currency.
