Melina and her terrier dog Gora had been buried in a landslide in their pickup truck. Melina began to scream and cry, until her dog came over to her chair and started licking her face. Gora, we’re in trouble! Now don’t lick me, my God, what are we going to do? She started screaming and crying again. Gora licked her again, until she calmed down and said, «Are you comforting me?» Gora barked at him, Melina took a deep breath, she again said: well Gora, you’re right, let’s be strong!.
Gora barked at him again. The dog went back and forth jumping, until Melina, Gora, are you showing me something? She saw in the back of her car a blanket, they had the first aid kit, canned food that she always kept Melina was a foresighted woman, water, a flashlight, cushions, a fire extinguisher and obviously the food for her dog Gora de she. When she checked everything, she looked at Gora and indicated, I’m afraid Gora, her dog licked her again and then barked at her. Are you afraid too, Gora? Gora barked again and Melina smiling told her: but if you are a dog with a lot of strength, look how you have helped and encouraged me, Melina hugged her tightly and after a jump she said Gora, the phone! Let’s see if we still have a signal and the surprise was when she saw that she could still communicate, she called the fire department, ambulance, highway police, her family, giving signs where she could be. The backhoe and manual work lasted two days, until they were finally safe, the ambulance took Melina away and Gora was taken to the animal hospital. A week later the two were outside, both Melina and Goran accompanied each other in their post-traumatic stress, the best way was hugging her dog Gora and Gora licking her partner that she loved so much. The loyalty, love and strength that her dog had given in such a difficult moment was confirmed. Every time Melina saw Gora she extended her arms to him and the dog ran over her, Melina said in her ear how can I not love you my Gora, how can I? not love you!
