Anjing Pemberani, Rela Mati Selamatkan Pemiliknya yang Diserang Beruang

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Klise, tapi anjing memang teman terbaik manusia. Banyak kisah yang membuktikan pepatah tersebut. Salah satunya, kisah berikut ini.

Pete, seekor anjing jantan mati dengan berani karena melindungi tuannya dari serangan beruang saat mendaki bersama. Berikut kisah Pete seperti yang dituturkan oleh pengguna Instagram @mmspets.

"Hari ini, kami kehilangan teman yang gagah berani, Pete. Tadi pagi, aku pergi hiking bersama beberapa ekor anjing kami. Karena hujan lebat semalam, para anjing itu tak mencium bau beruang yang tiba-tiba muncul di ujung jalan.

Dengan gagah berani, Pete maju dan menahan beruang itu sampai aku bisa membawa anjing lainnya ke tempat yang aman. Saat aku yakin mereka aman, aku kembali dan menakut-nakuti si beruang sampai ia pergi. Tapi Pete terluka parah.

 

Below is an account from my husband of yesterdays pack walk. "Today we lost our brave, old man Pete. The dogs surprised a black bear just off the trail while we were hiking this morning. It must not have heard or smelled us with the pouring rain. It felt threatened and turned around. Pete stepped up and held off the bear until I could get the other dogs to safety. Once I was sure they were safe, I went back and scared the bear off, but Pete was gravely injured. I was able to get him back down to the main trail and, thanks to Cathi and Kate, we were able to get him in a car and to the hospital pretty quickly. He held on like a real trooper the whole time, and he was never alone in his pain. The x-rays revealed some pretty bad spinal damage that would mean he could never walk again, if he survived all the surgeries (not a certain thing at his age). We decided it was best to let him go this afternoon. Run free Pete, you no longer have all those aches and pains of old age. You had a great 18 months with us running the days away like you loved." Please light a candle for Pete and remember that fostering and rescuing a dog can sometimes save you. Senior dogs have so much to give. Love you Petey. Save me some cheese for when we see each other again. ❤️💔❤️

Aku bisa membawanya kembali ke jalur utama dan langsung ke rumah sakit dengan menaiki mobil. Pete bertahan menghadapi beruang itu seperti polisi yang gagah berani.

Sinar-X menunjukkan beberapa kerusakan tulang belakang yang sangat buruk, yang berearti Pete tak akan bisa berjalan lagi. Itu pun jika dia selamat dari rangkaian operasi yang mana berat bagi anjing seusianya.

Kami memutuskan lebih baik membiarkannya pergi untuk selamanya. Selamat jalan, Pete. Kamu tak akan lagi merasakan semua sakit di usia tua. Kami memiliki 18 bulan yang hebat bersamamu. Kami mencintaimu."
