Extraordinary Dog named "KABANG"

This is an inspiring, heartwarming and incredible story of a very special and extraordinary dog.

Here in ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines, a female aspin dog (a Filipino mixed breed dog) named "Kabang"  has become an instant celebrity. Many people from far different places visit the Dog that became a superstar because of her courageous and heroic deed. They come to bring cash donations, food, medicines, vitamins and to even take their photos with Kabang who lost her upper snout when she sprung to save two girls from being hit by a speeding motorcycle.

The two girls were walking across Nuñez Extension one day in December unaware that a speeding motorcycle was bearing down on them. From out of nowhere Kabang jumped onto the path of the motorcycle.

Kabang lived but she lost her upper snout, which got caught in the spokes of the motorcycle’ front wheel.

The owner  Rudy Bunggal, the father of 11-year-old Dina and an uncle of 3-year-old Princess Diansing—the two girls saved by Kabang is very proud and thankful for having an amazing and wonderful family dog.

“Some people came bringing clothes, and a little money for us. We are so thankful. We did not ask for those things, but still we are thankful,” Rudy said

“I believe she was God’s gift to us,” He added.

Korbel's Cutee Pics

Pictures of my dogs really keep us happy simply by looking at them, it feels great to see images of our dogs who looks so cute and innocent. Most of us dog lovers keep a collection of pictures of our canine pets, and sometimes we are so much overwhelmed that we loved to share these pictures to the world for them to inspire people and to appreciate the amazing and wonderful gift that nature has given.

Big Dog Meets Small Dog - A Wonderful Friendship

Big Dogs and small dogs can they get along?  Small dogs are known for having a mind set of a big dog! And because more often these baby dogs show no fear on larger dogs, they tend to be provocative, such stubbornness  leads to trouble.

Because of our human nature, we act as protectors of our little dogs, often times we pick them up and hold them in our arms above the other dogs,  so they never learn proper greetings. This  deprives the dog to learn proper social skills with other animals and people. Of course, we do need to protect them. Whenever dogs are off lead, we should super­vise them closely. For safety, small dogs can be kept on a loose lead and be picked up only when necessary.  

However, if you have well behaved trained dogs that submit and can socialize with any dogs regardless of size and breed, then introducing your small dog will not be a problem but beneficial.

Here's a video of my two dogs, Loki a 3 yr old large mixed dog and Korbel a 2 months old Shih Tzu that shows how well they get along.

Simply Amazing - "Korbel" Our 2mos old Shih Tzu

She is so so cute! What more can I say, maybe add amazingly smart because she's only 7 weeks old and she can do tricks just like a pro. They say Shih Tzu's kinda hard to train, so I wanted to find out if its true. Well, here's the outcome of the 4 days training of the so little and young Korbel.

PACMAN: The Dog I Adopted from the Street

It has been past seven months since my father died, and if he still lives today, surely, he'll be very glad and amazed to meet the neglected dog I found in the street. My dad loves my dogs so much because he finds my pets very amusing. Sad to say he missed to see the most submissive and affectionate dog I brought in his home. Surprisingly, this dog who came out of nowhere, skittish, skinny, wounded, and infested with fleas, obviously showing all the signs of neglect, appeared to be a very kind, obedient dog.

I will never forget the morning walk with my two dogs when suddenly this awful looking pooch came to follow us, he was so persistent in spite the many times I tried to drive him away.  The dog was acting like he have known me for years, he's just there trying to get my attention, he continued to follow us till we got back home. I ignored the dog and thought that he would give up and simply go away, but I was wrong. The dog stayed and slept near our gate till the next day, so I thought of asking people from the neighborhood if they knew the owner of the stray dog, unfortunately no one claims. I was saddened to realize that the poor dog has really no home and obviously hungry and begging for food. And so I took and feed him, named him PACMAN and that started the beginning of a loyal and good friendship that was really meant to be. I was thankful that I found him because he can easily be a victim of an unfriendly & cruel environment.

Besides being submissive and loving, Pacman is a smart canine. It didn't took a while for him to learn the basics of obedience training. All he asks is praise and a loving touch to his face every time he follows a command, gestures that he was certainly deprived of.

The most important thing that Pacman does besides being a pet & watchdog is a consoling and affectionate loyal companion to my widowed mother. Every morning Pacman will bunt & sit next to my mom's lap  keeping her company.



I always believe that dogs bring happiness, love and hope to people especially to those in stress and in grief.
