Brandie and Kabang: The Askal Survivors
Kabang, the aspin who saved the lives of two kids, and the lost a snout in the process has come home a hero. Kabang reminds me of Brandie. Both are survivors.
Brandie was abandoned by her original owners and she learned to survive on her own, roaming the village streets, and feeding on food scraps from the residents.
Brandie, like Kabang, gave birth to 6 pups. Unfortunately for Kabang, only 1 pup survived. In Brandie's case, all 5 of her pups remained and were rehomed to dog-friendly households. Her 6th pup that was dognapped (which looked like the spotted pup of Kabang), hopefully survived as well. The pups are now as tall as Brandie.
Like Kabang, Brandie is now a very happy dog. Behave but excited seeing me in the morning and coming home from work, and during our nightly walks. She is also very behave when guests come over and she sometimes play with them. Like Kabang in her videos and pictures, Brandie loves playing as well. With her pups re-homed, I take their place in some roughhousing play with Brandie. We would chase each other at the carport, porch, up to the front and back balconies. She's at it for only few minutes as she seems to sense that I am also very busy. She would then stop and then climb on her platform and rest.
Kabang has already gained weight and looks very healthy. The same with Brandie. Even the neighbors, tricycle drivers, village guards notice it. Hindi na raw sya losyang. :D
Kabang likes being around with people. I am starting to let Brandie be accustomed to the presence of a big crowd by bringing her with me to watch the nightly basketball and volleyball games in our village sportsfest.
Brandie's future is secured now. I worry about Kabang's future for I heard that she would be brought home to her original owner, Rudy Bunggal. Rudy who is a known dog meat eater and a drunkafrd has been shown to a be an irrespensible and abusive man.
Kabang's future now with Rudy Bunggal is almost uncertain. His wife and kids have already left Rudy for they could no longer bear his abuses. He is unfit to be a husband and father. He is very unfit to be a pet owner. JR, the only offspring of Kabang that survived suffered at Rudy Bunggal's hands. His wife who left him has already taken JR in to be saved from Rudy. Rudy, for the sake of Kabang, should give her up. Dr Anton Lim should be adopt Kabang.
