Heroic Costa Rican canine brings help to senior in need. Mr. Adán Pérez of Siquirres Canton
was out walking with his dog, Canela, when they passed by a precipice. Suddenly Canela
stopped and returned to the edge of the overhang and began to bark desperately. As her human
companion Mr. Pérez returned to look more closely, he found 81-year-old Orlando Arguedas
lying below, lodged between a tree and vegetation. The elder Mr. Arguedas Agüero, who lives
alone and had unfortunately been robbed while returning home from cashing his pension check,
had clung to life for three days subjected to the elements before Canela found him. Rescue
and emergency personnel were immediately summoned, and the gentleman was transferred to a hospital
in Limón, where he received treatment for dehydration and insect bites.
Our admiring salute, Canela, for your lifesaving alert and a job well done. Wishing Mr. Arguedas
Agüero a soon and complete recovery to good health and happiness.
For the canine's sensitivity and concerned loving action, Supreme Master Ching Hai is
honoring Canela with the Shining World Hero Award along with along with a US$200 gift
for vegan snacks�
