Cão enfrenta urso para salvar o dono

“O Peter aproximou-se e manteve-o parado enquanto eu fugia com os outros cães para um local seguro. Quando tive a certeza de que estava seguro, voltei e afastei o urso, mas o Pete estava ferido com gravidade”, descreveu o dono do herói de quatro patas, num post emocionado no Instagram.

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. ❤💔❤

Apesar de ter chegado com vida ao hospital veterinário, a extensão das lesões levou a família a ter de tomar uma dura decisão: a de eutanasiá-lo. Ninguém ficou indiferente à lealdade do cãozinho, nomeadamente Ben White, um jornalista do site norte-americano “Politico”, que conhecia a família em questão.

So our friends lost their sweet setter Pete today. He and some other dogs surprised a black bear while on a hike. Pete bravely protected the rest of the crew who got to safety. Pete later succumbed to his injuries. He was an older guy and went out a true hero. RIP PETE THE HERO! pic.twitter.com/a3W5q9DHbc
