**Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan In the spring of 2002, at the exit of the Kyoto subway station in Japan, a black and white puppy** was standing in the corner, causing people to stop**.
The Labrador Retriever in *, Koru, is an honorable guide dog who has had the privilege of being followed by a photographer for 12 years. After his death, the photographer published a small book called "Goodbye, Koru", which faithfully chronicled Koru's life.
The book was widely acclaimed upon its release, triggering a deep nostalgia for Koru. Its story has touched the hearts of countless people, many of whom have put down candy, toys and flowers as a way to express their longing for Koru.
Through word of mouth, the story of Koru has spread throughout the country, even touching 100 million people and bringing tears to their eyes.
Kelu is not a purebred guide dog, but he is gentle and has excellent stamina, and is as cautious as a "little old man". For Mr. Watanabe, who has been blind for ten years, he is not only his guide dog, but also his soul mate.
Although he was resolutely opposed to the use of guide dogs at the beginning, the difficulties of life forced him to enter the guide dog comprehensive training center. With Koru's company, Mr. Watanabe's life becomes brighter.
The prototype of the protagonist of the movie "Guide Dog Little Q" is the Kolu in "Goodbye, Kelu", although his personality is insufficient, he is actually an excellent dog suitable for being a guide dog.
Koru was recommended by the trainer to Mr. Watanabe, who will spend a few days at the center for acclimatization training. Although Mr. Watanabe accepted the offer, there was a hint of confusion on his face, and it was clear that he did not expect much from Koru.
In the beginning, Koru and Mr. Watanabe's cooperation was not ideal, and their pace was always difficult to coordinate. One day, they encountered a similar problem again, and during the break, Mr. Watanabe sighed deeply and sat down on the bench.
At this time, Koru made a surprising move, lying down with his body close to Mr. Watanabe's heels. If you compare a guide dog with a person, then a guide dog is the kind of person who is more introverted and emotionally reserved.
New copywriting: This job does not allow excessive expressions of emotion, does not allow hypocrisy at inappropriate moments, and even excretion at work is prohibited. It needs to be vigilant at all times, not only as a sight for the blind, but sometimes as a guide dog for their minds.
Therefore, when Koru, a guide dog who had been working with Mr. Watanabe for several days, showed such a gesture of dependence on Mr. Watanabe, everyone around him was shocked. Kelu's eyes said clearly: "I already know that I want to live with this person." ”
Since then, Koru has become a part of Mr. Watanabe's life.
In the days after Koru and Watanabe lost their sights, the trail became no longer frightening. Koru's guidance allowed Watanabe to re-embark on the path that had made him hesitate.
He remembered the days when he and Koru went hiking and went on outings together, and those memories warmed him. People and dogs are inseparable, and they are the best companions.
Watanabe's heart also turned from gray to cheerful, as if his world had also become brighter because of Koru. Someone once said that guide dogs allow blind people to see the blue sky again. In Kameoka City, people often see such a picture: Watanabe and Koru are together during a break, Koru leans on Watanabe's lap, tries to straighten his back to him, and then keeps licking his face; Watanabe, on the other hand, smiled and stroked Koru's head and said happily, "good, good."
But the good times didn't last long, and two years later, Watanabe suffered from severe kidney failure and had to stay in bed**. Koru was sent back to the guide dog training center, where he stayed for three years.
Koru, a loyal guide dog, has been waiting for the return of its owner, Mr. Watanabe. For the past three years, he has been waiting every day in the training center, hoping to return to his owner again and continue to serve him as a guide dog.
However, Mr. Watanabe's condition is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't even have the strength to go to the training center to see Koru. The people and dogs who come and go in and out of the training center every day are full of energy, and their faces are filled with the joy of a new life.
However, only Koru waited quietly, silently enduring loneliness and loneliness. Keru's lifespan is equivalent to 20 years for humans, and he has changed from an ignorant teenager to a guide dog in the prime of life.
One day, Mr. Watanabe told his wife that he wanted to visit the training center. As soon as Koru heard the news, he immediately became excited, and he slowly walked towards Mr. Watanabe.
Although Koru was full of excitement, it knew that it was its duty to stay calm. It surrounds Mr. Watanabe with a steady pace, wagging its tail constantly, as if to say to him, "Don't worry, I'll always be there for you." ”
Eventually, Mr. Watanabe smiled and said to Koru, "Koko, let's take a walk together." ”
Mr. Watanabe put on a guide saddle for Koru, who clings to his feet, the same as before, without any changes. They have been looking forward to this day for three years.
They walked slowly, and the two figures gradually stretched out along the road. However, this 30-metre walk became a dream they shared. Although Mr. Watanabe was content to remove the guide saddle for Koru, he passed away a week later.
Koru is a dog in heaven who has lost his old owner and the people at the training center decide to find a new job for him. Although Koru is in the prime of life, his personality makes it difficult for him to adapt to his new owner and environment.
Therefore, the people at the training center made Kelu a model dog in the promotion of guide dogs, and went to primary and secondary schools or welfare institutions to demonstrate the role of guide dogs. Whenever Koru goes to school, the children are attracted by his performance.
They will be amazed by Koru's ingenuity and even put on an eye patch to let Koru lead them through the life of a blind man. Keru looked at the children gently, his eyes already like that of an elder.
In this way, Keru became a model dog for the next four years.
In the movie "Guide Dog Little Q", there is a scene that makes people feel emotional: when Kelu was performing, his eyes suddenly moved away from the child and cast it to a corner.
In that corner sat an elderly couple, they were Kolu's "adoptive parents" Mr. and Mrs. Renjing. After he was born, he was selected as a guide dog to be trained, so he lived in the Nijing family for 8 months and spent a happy childhood.
Mr. and Mrs. Renjing have never forgotten Kolu, but they have been suppressing their longing for Kolu for many years because they are afraid of affecting the work of the guide dog. Until one day, they learned that Kelu had become a demonstration dog and worked relatively leisurely, so they decided to come to the scene to visit Kelu.
This scene makes people feel the deep love and concern between humans and animals, and also makes us realize that every life is worthy of our cherishing and respect.
Although Koru hid in the corner, he still found the Renjing couple who had been separated for 10 years. No matter what it does, its eyes always fall affectionately on its adoptive parents.
This made the hearts of the two fluctuate. So, Mr. Nishii made a decision, he would apply to the training center to take Koru home. The 11-year-old can live in his childhood home, which is the dream of many old people who yearn for their roots.
Mr. Nishii, who also happens to be at retirement age, said, "Now I can finally be with Koru." However, a month later, Koru began to show signs of illness.
Doctors said that many of Koru's organs began to fail. In the autumn of this year, Kelu's physical condition improved, and he was able to play with the other dog of the Renjing family, Fantesi.
But when spring came, Kelu's condition worsened again. This time, the doctor told Renjing, "Koru has leukemia. Hearing this thunderbolt on a sunny day, Mr. and Mrs. Renjing were almost speechless.
Two days after Koru's 12th birthday, he could no longer stand up. Its body became stiff, and only its neck could move, and it could not even inject a drip. The couple slept next to Koru every night, turning it over every two hours to avoid bedsores.
Fantesi is also in the middle gap, it seems to know that there is something wrong with Koru's digestive system, and every night it licks Koru's belly like a takes care of a puppy.
On 12 July 1998, Kelu's breathing became increasingly rapid. Turning over every two hours has also been changed to every hour, or even half an hour. Fantessy walked around anxiously beside him.
Xiao Ke, thank you, you don't need to work so hard. As he lay dying, Koru looked at Mr. Nishii and then at Mrs. Nishii. "When you go to heaven, you must remember your name, Nishi Koru. ”
The moment Mr. Nishii finished saying that, Koru's eyes suddenly brightened, and his body immediately straightened, as if he had stopped breathing. However, its eyes were still full of the look of childhood, and it looked at Mrs. Nishii affectionately, as if asking, "What are you busy with?" ”
