 Do
you have any pets? If so, do you feel close to them? These days, a
lot of people have pets. Having a pet at home makes your life happier.
Doctors say that keeping pets is actually good for your health. Let
me introduce a very special pet in the Philippines, and something
that it did. On June 6, a dog named Kabang met her human family at
Manila Airport again, while the whole nation watched. Where had Kabang
been?
In 2011, Kabang saved the young daughter
and niece of her owner. It is
said that Kabang leaped into the path of a motorcycle that was coming
toward the two young girls. Sadly, in saving their lives, Kabang lost
part of her own face. The accident with the motorcycle
destroyed much of her upper jaw. After that, Kabang
was taken to California, the United States to receive treatment at an animal
hospital. People in about 45 countries all over the world donated
money to pay for the medical expenses that was
estimated at $27,000.
 On June 10,
the local authorities in the
Philippines even held a car parade to praise Kabang for her goodness. It will also conduct
a campaign to remind other pet dogs of their responsibilities by making
Kabang a special dog ambassador.
What do you think of Kabang? We have to take good care of our pets
before we can hope that they will protect us from dangers like Kabang
did. |
