Pehea ʻo Iasper ka ʻīlio i hoʻopakele ai iā Maria

ʻAʻole maʻamau nā moʻolelo ʻīlio hauʻoli, akā pehea nā moʻolelo e hoʻopakele ai kahi ʻīlio i kāna mea nona? He mea ʻokoʻa iki, ʻeā? ʻO kēia ka mea i loaʻa iā Mary McKnight, ka mea i ʻike ʻia me ke kaumaha nui a me ka maʻi hopohopo. ʻAʻole kōkua nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā kau lapaʻau i kuhikuhi ʻia e kāna kauka, a ua hoʻomau ʻia kona maʻi. ʻO ka hope, ʻaʻohe ona ikaika e haʻalele i ka hale, i kekahi manawa no kekahi mau mahina i ka manawa.

"ʻAʻole au i ʻike he kumu lāʻau koʻu ma koʻu pā e pua ana i ka pūnāwai," wahi āna. "No laila kakaʻikahi wau i hele i waho."

I ka ho'āʻo hope loa e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kona kūlana a loaʻa ke kūpaʻa, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e hānai i kahi ʻīlio. Ua kipa aku ʻo Mary i ka Seattle Humane Society, kahi hui mālama holoholona a me ka hoa o Hill's Food, Shelter & Love. I ka lawe ʻana mai o kahi limahana i kahi hui Labrador ʻeleʻele ʻewalu makahiki i kapa ʻia ʻo Jasper i loko o ka lumi, noho wale ka ʻīlio ma hope ona. A ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e haʻalele. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo ia e pāʻani. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo ia i ka meaʻai. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo ia e honi i ka lumi.

Ua makemake wale ʻo ia e pili iā ia.

Ua ʻike koke ʻo Mary he pono ʻo ia e lawe iā ia i ka home. "ʻAʻole ʻo ia i haʻalele i koʻu ʻaoʻao," hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia. "Noho wale ʻo ia ma laila a ʻōlelo ʻo ia, 'OK. E hoʻi kāua!”.

Ma hope mai, ua ʻike ʻo ia ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Jasper i kahi keiki makua ʻole e kahi ʻohana e hele ana i kahi male male paʻakikī. Pono ʻo ia e hele i kēlā me kēia lā, a no kēia mea pono ʻo ia iā Maria e hele pū me ia i waho. A mālie, mahalo i kēia Labrador hauʻoli, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻi i ke ola - ʻo ia wale nō ka mea e pono ai.

Ma waho aʻe o kēia, aia ʻo ia i kahi pīhoihoi ʻoluʻolu: i ka wā i loaʻa ai iā ia kāna mau hōʻeha weliweli maʻamau, ua palu ʻo Jasper iā ia, e moe ana ma luna ona, ʻōhumu a hoʻāʻo ma nā ʻano he nui e hoʻohuli i kona manaʻo. "Ua manaʻo ʻo ia, me he mea lā ua ʻike ʻo ia e pono wau iā ia," wahi a Mary. "Ua hoʻihoʻi mai ʻo ia iaʻu i ke ola."

Ma o kāna ʻike me Jasper, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e aʻo iā ia ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio kōkua kanaka. A laila hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe pū me ʻoe i nā wahi a pau - ma nā kaʻa kaʻa, i nā hale kūʻai a hiki i nā hale ʻaina lehulehu.

Ua pōmaikaʻi kēia pilina i nā mea ʻelua. He maikaʻi loa ka ʻike a hoʻololi i ke ola a ua hoʻoholo ʻo Mary e hāʻawi iā ia iho i ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻīlio kōkua.

I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻumi makahiki ma hope, ʻo Mary kahi mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa holoholona i hōʻoia ʻia i ka lāhui.

ʻO kāna hui, Service Dog Academy, he 115 mau moʻolelo hauʻoli e haʻi. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia kēlā me kēia ʻīlio e kōkua i ka poʻe me ka maʻi maʻi, ka hopu ʻana a me ka migraines. Aia ʻo ia i kēia manawa i ka neʻe ʻana i ka hui mai Seattle a i St.

Ua ʻāhinahina ʻo Jasper i kona waha i ka wā i lawe ai ʻo ia iā ia i ka makahiki 2005 i kona mau makahiki ʻewalu. Ua make ʻo ia i ʻelima mau makahiki ma hope mai. Ua emi kona olakino a hiki ʻole iā ia ke hana hou i kāna mea i hana mua ai no Mary. No ka hoʻomaha iā ia, ua lawe ʻo Mary i kahi Labrador melemele ʻewalu mau pule i kapa ʻia ʻo Liam i loko o ka hale a hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ia i ʻīlio lawelawe hou. A ʻoiai he hoa maikaʻi ʻo Liam, ʻaʻohe ʻīlio e hiki ke pani iā ​​Jasper i ka puʻuwai o Mary.

"ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo ua hoʻopakele au iā Iasper," wahi a Mary. "Na Jasper i hoʻopakele iaʻu."
