Must Love Dogs

I'm not sure if all of you saw this story in Facebook. It's about a pitbull dog in the Philippines saving 2 women but it's gone viral since two days ago (I think).

GOOD DOG DOWN 

Four-year-old "Chief", an American Pit Bull Terrier, dashed in front of a venomous snake which was poised to strike at 87-year-old Liberata la Victoria and her granddaughter Maria Victoria. Shielding the women from the attack, Chief saved them but died minutes later from the snake's bite.

In Facebook, it didn't say what year this incident happened but turns out it was published last 2007 from this website - http://dogsinthenews.com/stories/070301a.php. So it's been 5 years since Chief done a heroic deed that is truly admirable and made us realized that loyalty is one of the best traits of dogs especially if they are loved. Cesar Milan's always says in his show Dog Whisperer, dogs understands us through the energy that we released from our body. Not because they understand what we are saying.

Anyways, let me share the whole story adapted from the link I mentioned above...

BARANGAY LAPASAN (Philippines) 
Mar 1, 2007

The children in the Fronteras household refer to their dog as "kuya" ("big brother"), and he certainly proved it on the day he sacrificed his life to protect the family.
On Monday, Feb. 12 at around 2 p.m., "Chief", an American Pit Bull Terrier, rescued Liberata la Victoria, 87, and her granddaughter Maria Victoria Fronteras from a deadly cobra which had entered their house through an opening in the kitchen.
Liberata la Victoria and Chief had been watching TV on the sofa when suddenly Chief jumped up and alerted her to the presence of a cobra less than 10 feet away. Maria Victoria rushed in and pulled her grandmother into a separate room, hoping the snake would leave.
But when Maria Victoria later emerged from the room, she was terrified to find the cobra poised about two feet away. Equally startled, the cobra expanded its hood and appeared to be spitting venom as it prepared to strike.
"The snake was in front of us, maneuvering a deadly attack," says Maria Victoria. "I screamed out loud to ask for help." 
That's when from "out of nowhere", Chief dashed between the cobra and the two women, using himself as a shield against the cobra's attacks. Chief then seized the cobra by the neck and slammed it into the floor, killing it.

But for Chief it was a Pyrrhic victory. In the struggle, he sustained a fatal bite to the jaw, and moments later he began gasping for breath and collapsed. The family sought the help of a veterinarian, but they were told that nothing could be done. According to the vet, the bite was too close to Chief's brain, and the venom had already spread. Maria Victoria called her husband Marlone who, stunned by the news, rushed home immediately.
Ian de la Rama, a friend of the family, says it was less than 30 minutes from the time Chief had been bitten that he "went wobbly and lost control of his organs," 2 urinating and defecating uncontrollably. Yet he still kept clinging to life.
It wasn't until Marlone arrived that Chief finally let go. 

Ian de la Rama describes, "Chief gave his two deep breaths and died. He was fighting and saving his last ounces of breath to see a glimpse of his master for the last two seconds of his life."

Ian adds that the last thing Chief did as he gazed up at Marlone was wag his tail.

MIA....No More!

Ahoy everyone! I can't remember how many times I've apologized for not blogging that much. February is one heck of a month for me. It's a mixed of happy, sad, worry and thankful memories all roll into 29 days!

For those who know me personally and who can see my FB profile, my father was hospitalized due to an almost heart attack. What seems to be a typical common cold, cough and fever led to some symptoms of a heart attack. Good thing that my mother decided to bring him to the hospital right on time. It could've been worst if they ignore the obvious seriousness of his health condition.

Processing health documents, working full-time and part-time kept me busy these past few days so Ican't blog that much but good news! My father is A-ok to go home today so our family can heave a bigh sigh of relief.

I've learned a lot of things specifically in processing documents in Philhealth. No worries, I'm going to share you my experience and the things I've learned.

For now, I'm going to do a few household chores before going out to visit my parent's house.

Enjoy the weekend and hope you still drop my blog regardless of not updating it that much as I used to.

He is 35

There’s no better time than on your Birthday to say those 3 little words I often think but seldom say… YOU'RE SO LUCKY. Hehehe! Happy Birthday to you Love :)
