A few raindrops did not deter participants at the Hawaii Arthritis Walk on May 2nd at Ward Centers. People came out with their pooches to walk in honor of a friend or family member with arthritis. Right now 1 in 5 people suffer from the pain of arthritis and it also affects our furry friends. This was the first year that dogs were allowed on the walk and several dog groups, including the local Labradoodle Club, came out to support the cause. The 2010 Pet Expo was amazing! There were so many delightful pets and their
owners at the event. Tails of Hawaii’s petshow hair and pet tattoos were a big hit with the canine crowd. Planet U2 wowed customers with their upscale pet fashions and accessories. Hawaii Mega-Cor was one of the most popular booths of the day with great deals on Iams and Eukanuba, and introduced their FetchIt pet food delivery service. Dr. Raymond Yoza soothed dogs and their owners with his amazing resonant healing – you have to try it! The ever-popular pet demonstra-
tions wowed the crowd, especially the Hawaiian Kennel Club Puppy Match. Kudos to the Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association for a job well done. The 2nd Annual Hawaii Wiener Derby held on May 29th at the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Canine Game Day,

Jumping dogs, a huge pool of water and a jubilant crowd. Aloha DockDogs® and welcome to Hawaii! If you are unfamiliar with this canine sport, you’re missing the biggest pet craze on the mainland. In 2000, DockDogs® began as a “filler” event for ESPN. After thousands of people showed up for the event, it grew into a full-fledged dog phenomenon. Dock-
Dogs® is an accessible sport and little training is required. All you need is a fetch toy, and a dog that loves water that can jump. Big Air competitions challenge dogs to “fetch” their toy and jump far distances from the dock into a pool of water. Extreme Vertical is a high jump for dogs where they jump up to capture their toy and land in a pool of water. DockDogs® debuted at the 50th State Fair this summer and a local club has already been formed. To learn more, watch videos of the event and join the club, visit the Aloha DockDogs page on Facebook.

KEEP YOUR PET COOL

The warmest months in Hawaii are upon us with temperatures reaching over 80F degrees and over 50 percent humidity. What does this mean for your dog? They do not have the luxury of taking off their fur coat. Humans have the ability to regulate their body temperature by sweat glands located throughout our bodies. When we sweat the evaporation of our sweat cools our body. Unlike humans, dogs do not have sweat glands located throughout their body. A dog’s sweat glands are mainly located between the pads of their feet. A dog’s primary way of cooling

themselves is by panting and breathing. Excessive play on a hot day or lack of water and shade can lead to dehydration, heat stroke or even heat exhaustion which can cause death. A dog’s normal body temperature is 100.5F degrees to 102.5F degrees. A dog body temperature that is overheated will exceed 104F degrees or more! A dog that is overheated may act sluggish or confused; they will pant excessively. The gums and tongue may appear dark or bright red, they may also be sticky or dry. During this time a dog may also vomit, collapse, have a seizure, and may go into a coma. If you think your dog may be suffering from heat exhaustion seek veterinary attention immediately! In addition find shade, give your dog cool water (not ice water as this will cause constriction of the
blood vessels and hinder cooling), place cool wet clothes around their head and paws, offer your dog ice cubes to lick (do not force your dog to drink water or eat ice cubes). Here are some ways to prevent dehydration, heat stroke, and heat exhaustion during these hot months: • Always provide shade and fresh cool water for your dogs. • Provide a small plastic pool for your dog to wade or lay in during the day. Keep the pool in the shade so the sun does not heat the water. Remember to rinse the pool daily to keep clean. • You can find cooling products for dogs such as bandanas, vests, sleeping pads. • Make a delicious, cool popsicle for your dog. Place treats in low sodium beef or chicken broth and freeze. To be more creative freeze half the broth then place the treats in the container and pour more broth over the treats and freeze. • Exercise your dogs in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is not as strong. • Water your dog down with a garden hose before exercise. The water evaporating will help cool your dog. • Regulate your dog’s play. Many dogs will not stop playing fetch or running because they are warm, it is up to you to give your dog a break with fresh cool water and shade. • DO NOT leave your dog in a parked car while you run errands. On a day that is 78F degrees a car parked in the shade can reach a temperature of 90F degrees, in the sun it can reach 160F degrees!

Spare Your Pet the Spooks this Halloween By Andrew Sovonick, The Humane Society of the United States -- the nation's largest animal protection organization • www.humanesociety.org

While Halloween can be a good time for children and adults alike, The Humane Society of the United States is reminding pet owners that this haunting holiday may be too scary for your pet. Companion animals aren’t used to the doorbell-ringing, costumed creatures and general hustle-andbustle that come into our homes at this time of year. “For your pet’s comfort and safety, the best thing that you can do is to make sure that they have a stress-free holiday,” according to Adam Goldfarb, director of the Pets at Risk program for The Humane Society of the United States. “The noises, smells and people can be overwhelming for many pets on Halloween, so create a safe haven in one room of your home where he or she can quietly relax.” To help keep pets safe and happy this Halloween, The HSUS recommends the following tips: • Keep your pets safely indoors, away from trick-or-treaters and other Halloween activities.
ing but their birthday suit, but if you do choose a costume for your pet, forgo masks and make sure costumes are comfortable and do not pose a risk for injury. Decorations can be dangerous, so be sure to keep them safely away from pets. Candle flames can set fire to a pet’s fur. Hanging or dangling decorations can be an entanglement or choking hazard to some animals.
• Use fake cobwebs sparingly, if at all. Pets can choke on fake cobwebs set up indoors. Outdoors, fake webs may be a hazard to birds and wildlife. When going out trick-or-treating, leave your dog at home. Dogs can be easily excited by the Halloween commotion and a dog bite or lost dog will quickly end the evening’s fun. • Don’t forget about wildlife on Halloween, either. Nocturnal animals, such as raccoons, opossums and foxes will be out looking for food. If you come across a wild animal while out trick-or-treating, your best bet is to keep your distance (and keep your pets away from wild animals, too). And though bats are classically associated with Halloween, those in colder climates will most likely be hibernating at this time of year. Paying heed to the tips above, we can all work together to keep our beloved pets and our wild neighbors safe this Halloween.

Besides, she's much too friendly to be a guard dog. She loves to cuddle, run around, and play, like all puppies do. We just discovered that she enjoys the water. At home, she would jump in the garden hose's water streams and play with puddles. At our first trip to the beach, she was initially hesitant but quickly jumped in the water. She's full of energy and manages to put smiles on our faces even after hectic days.” ~ Sean & Judy Masaki.

It’s easy to love your pet Now it’s easy to love all animals
Dogs and owners step out at PetWalk 2009.
His soulful eyes and those sweet kisses; the way he understands you like no other; he’s there during the good times and he comforts you during the bad. You and your pet have a special bond. Lucky guy! There are many animals that don’t get to experience all the benefits of a human-animal bond. You know, the extra scratches behind the ear, cuddling in bed,
playing fetch, and eating until their bellies are full. Turn your love for your pet into a love for all animals. Let’s not forget those animals in need. There are many ways to help animals through the Hawaiian Humane Society. Donations support the Humane Society's efforts in preventing animal cruelty, placing homeless animals with families, reuniting and keeping pets with their people, and teaching children compassion for animals.
PetWalk 2010
Step out for your favorite pet charity and join us on a walk for the animals. The 20th Annual PetWalk is set for October 3 at Magic Island at 7 a.m. for supporters who have collected donations for the Humane Society to celebrate the funds raised
with their pets. To join and help raise funds, go online to www.firstgiving.com/PetWalk2010.
The Nakamura family is picture perfect at Santa Paws.
Santa Paws
Your pets, whether they are naughty or nice, can have their holiday photos taken with Santa and Mrs. Paws to benefit the Humane Society. For a $25 donation, pets can have a photo session with a professional photographer and you can take home a CD of the images. Times are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 20 and 21, and December 4 and 5.
Holiday Toy Drive
The best holiday present for shelter animals is finding a loving home. In December, donations of new pet toys are welcome at the Humane Society.

Hawaiian Humane Society’s Pet Food Bank assists pet owners with free food for those with pets in need. Pet food is always needed. Donate dry pet food – dog, puppy, cat and kitten – at Hawaiian Humane Society or at PETCO locations in Kapolei and Pearl City.

BIG LOVE
The movie Marmaduke was a huge hit in theaters, but actually owning a Great Dane is a BIG commitment. Learn more about what it takes to care for these gentle giants... By Selena Willard, Vice President, Great Dane Club of Hawaii / Organizer, Oahu Great Dane Meetup Group Owned by “Huey” Anadane’s Transpac Chutzpah, RN and “Higgins” Anadane’s Xtreme Xposure V Pi
“Marmaduke,” the most recent dog movie, released this past month might prompt a few people possibly wanting a Marmaduke for themselves. If you hadn’t had a chance to see the movie yet, Marmaduke is a Great Dane teenager that has difficulty fitting in when his family moves to a new town. He is constantly getting himself into trouble. Where this might discourage most people from wanting one just like him for themselves, those that do should consider a few things before going out and making an impulse purchase. Great Danes are BIG. Not only do they weigh up to 180 pounds as adults, they are tall. They take up more room in the house, sometimes the entire sofa, and you will need a bigger car for transportation. Kathy Berg, who at one time had three Great Danes in her small 3-bedroom house, said, "It's kind of like living with cattle--they're big." The dogs had their own room, which the Bergs air conditioned during the day to keep them comfortable. They are housedogs and insist on being with their people. A rambunctious puppy can easily knock you down or drag you down the street. Obedience training is vital as a puppy and onward throughout their adult life. Great Danes are good family dogs, known to have a gentle and loving disposition, but can easily knock over a small child. They are unaware of their size at times. These giant breed dogs can also be extremely destructive, chewing on wood (cabinet molding), furniture (entire sofa), car interiors, walls and dig holes in the yard several feet deep. I came home one day to find my entire closet of shoes totally chewed up; each and every pair was de-

stroyed. Great Danes eat…a lot. My two Danes eat a total of 16 cups of food per day! And remember, what goes in must come out…which means a lot of cleaning up. So leave those small doggie poop bags at home and pull out those grocery bags! Giant breed dogs have giant medical expenses. Kathy McClone, owned by “Cash,” can attest to this, “I have a $3000 vet bill to show it.” The breed is prone to more health issues, which can lead to expensive surgeries. Like other deep-chested breeds, they are prone to bloat and torsion, something the medical world has not found a defined cause for. This can requires expensive emergency surgery that can cost well over $3,000. Cancer, heart, eye and thyroid problems, and hip dysplasia are
also common in the breed, which is why it is important to buy from a reputable breeder who does health screening on both parents of the litter. Even regular vet care is overall more expensive than a small breed. Boarding these giant dogs is not as easy as taking them to a kennel. Many kennels do not have the proper facilities to take care of the sheer size of these guys. Nor do they do well when boarded; because Danes are so attached to their home environment they tend to be anxious when boarded out. Highly stressful situations can sometimes lead to bloat. Susan Richards, who currently has five Great Danes in her home agrees, “When we travel, we fly in an "experienced friend" from the mainland to stay with our Danes. The airfare and incidentals are far less expensive than having a pet sitter. If you use a pet sitter, like any other service, we use one that is licensed, bonded and insured.” If you still think you want one of these fun loving dogs, be sure to do your research before committing to the breed. The Great Dane Club of Hawaii is an excellent place to start learning more about the breed. The club offers advice and information upon request. You can contact the Great Dane Club of Hawaii to obtain information about Great Dane rescue or reputable breeder referrals. At all costs, avoid backyard breeders, online brokers, puppy mills or pet stores, who work with poor quality bloodlines, which might have genetical health issues. A backyard breeder is one that sells for profit, advertising in newspapers, online classifieds, and to pet stores. Reputable breeders are those that perform health screening tests on both parents of the litter (and show documentation), produce quality dogs, breed to better the breed and not for profit, and offer lifetime support throughout the life-

time of the puppy. Susan and Putt Richards have had as many as seven Great Danes in their home. These have been a combination of personal Danes, foster and rescue. "We strongly feel that if you open your home and heart to a Great Dane then it becomes a moral responsibility to assist in Rescue. There are too many people in the islands who breed and sell puppies for profit and then absolve themselves of any responsibility to the pups and owners. They either depart the islands or are not responsive to the owners. This is where we come in through rescue and education and it keeps us very
busy!” There are many Great Danes in need here in the Hawaiian Islands. Many have come from less than desirable homes and many from homes who do not understand the cost of relocating with their Danes. Shipping costs to the West coast can exceed $2,000.00 alone. Most Great Danes need a specially made kennels to accommodate their sheer size. One family was looking at $7,000.00 to 12,000.00 ship their two Great Danes to their new duty station. Contrary to what some folks believe, this cost is not reimbursed by the military. If you are someone that is already owned by a Great Dane, check out the

Meet Buddy
To pet parent Liz Rizzo, Buddy is not really a dog, he’s mostly human. Buddy does a lot of things that humans do, but with canine flair. This 10-year-old Golden Retriever opens doors, shuts drawers that are left open and basically is Liz’s right hand, well, dog. Seven years ago Buddy came into Liz’s life as a rescue dog. His previous family had raised him since he was a puppy, but like all dogs, he got bigger. A lot bigger. Buddy is a larger Golden Retriever from the Lake Tahoe area
that was specifically bred for snow rescue. Liz is happy he outgrew his family and is grateful that he is in her life now, be can’t imagine what she’d do without him. More than merely a canine companion, Buddy is a licensed service dog under the Delta Society, a human-service organization dedicated to improving people’s health and well being through positive interactions with animals. A Delta license is the best of the best in the animal therapy world and extremely hard to achieve. When Buddy went to obtain his licensing, there were 100 dogs in his class -- he was the only one that passed. He now helps Liz daily with stability and mobility. Buddy’s gentle spirit and calming nature work hand-in-paw his daytime doggie therapy job at St. Francis Hospice. As a therapy dog, he visits these terminal patients weekly, bringing joy and comfort at that difficult time. Buddy seems to know where he’s needed and guides Liz to the patients that he needs to visit, almost as if he knows what’s happening on another level. Liz and Buddy also volunteer extensively for at risk groups, specifically homeless men. This marginalized group that live in the shad-
ows of our society have problems ranging from drug addiction to mental illness, and are often challenging to assist. Buddy is able to connect with this group and his calming nature is transferred to them as Liz and other volunteers try to support them in other, more traditional ways. Buddy become a local celebrity as the inspiration for Liz’s “Ask Buddy the Dog” column on Oceanic Time Warner Cable’s website. Somewhat retired from writing, Buddy now assists Liz with her current blog as the Honolulu Pets Examiner on examiner.com and his adventures are often the subject of her posts. Not one to be tied to party lines, Buddy has high-powered political pals from both parties including Governor Linda Lingle. He has met President Obama seven times and has a presidential photo album documenting their encounters. While President Obama was searching for a dog for the first family, he commented to Liz that he would love to have a beautiful dog like Buddy. Liz replied, “He’s willing to be your dog, but the deal is you have to take me to the White House too.” Needless to say, both Buddy and Liz are still here in Hawaii. Fixtures in the Kailua Community, you can also find Liz and Buddy at nearly every local pet event. Says Liz, “He’s my soul mate.”

Cleo. Photo submitted by Mindy Wilson.
After graduating from Veterinary School, I adopted a great Kitty from my local shelter; that was over 15 years ago. Statistics show that he is part of a growing population. In the USA the percentage of cats over 15 years of age has risen from 5% to 14%. A medical condition that I see in my aging patients (as well as in my Kitty) is a disease called Osteoarthritis. It is a chronic degenerative disease that affects any joint, but most commonly this is found in your catʻs hip, elbow, shoulder, and stifle (knee). This medical condition occurs because the cartilage in the joint is damaged. The damage occurs either from a traumatic event or wear and tear, which increases in cats that are obese or when the joint is abnormal from birth. The purpose of the cartilage is to act like a shock absorber therefore decreasing joint stress. Damage to the cartilage causes inflammation to occur which leads to damage of the underlying bone. The cartilage contain no nerves, so if your cat is showing signs of pain, the damage to the underlying bone has begun. Cats have a personality that often hides the presence of orthopedic (musculoskeletal system) problems. However, one of the first clinical studies done to determine the prevalence of osteoarthritis in the feline
18
hawaiipetmagazine.com
population revealed degenerative joint disease in 90% of older cats. The clinical sign of lameness in cats is very uncommon. To diagnose this disease will require teamwork - owner participation, radiographs and an orthopedic examination performed by your Veterinarian. Owner participation includes documenting changes in activity (ability to jump, height of jumps, playing, sleeping), grooming habits (matted fur, nails overgrown, urinating or soiling outside the litter box), and temperament (avoiding human interaction, hiding, dislikes being brushed). Once the diagnosis of osteoarthritis, has been confirmed, it is important to realize that there is no cure, but it can be managed. Our goal is to control the clinical signs, decrease pain/discomfort and slow down the progression of the disease. Your veterinarian may chose a treatment plan based on the scientific literature, expertise, and/or
circumstances that are unique to you and your feline friend. The plan would include: Client education to discuss the progression of the disease; the need for adequate rest, a sensible exercise program, physical therapy, proper weight management, nutritional therapy, pain management (anti-inflammatory drugs), and complementary therapies (acupuncture, massage). Veterinarians have found that this “multimodal approach” (several approaches combined) produce better results than any single therapy. Our feline friends are living longer due to a variety of factors such as health care, nutrition and lifestyle changes (more indoor only cats). Getting old is not a disease (yet at times it can challenging); it is important that we pay attention to older cats, feed and care for them appropriately, and observe them closely so we can continue to have them as a part of our family for as long as possible.

Brian & Zeus
An excerpt from Brian Kajiyama presentation at “Unleashing Abilities: The Genius of Dogs” on July 28, 2010, sponsored by Honolulu Magazine. It was 1:15 in the morning and I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed. Zeus was on his bed in my room sleeping. As soon as he heard my chair moving, he looked up to see what I was doing. When he saw I was in the bathroom, he immediately got up and proceeded out of my room. Where do you think he was going? He was headed to find my mom, who could have been anywhere in our house Not a minute later, Zeus walks back into my room with my mom following him This would set me up so that I could have assistance getting into bed for the night. This is just one example, out of many, demonstrating the genius of Zeus. I did not need to tell Zeus to go find my mom, he anticipated that I would be needing assistance, probably from associating my prior actions and having requested that he go find my mom before. Aside from calling my mom, Zeus knows over 90 different commands which are all delivered through hand signals, as you heard in that short video segment. It has been said that body language speaks volumes. This cannot be more than the truth, especially when it comes to the communication that takes place between Zeus and I. Zeus is a great reader of body language. For instance, the other day I was not feeling very well, so instead of being excited and wanting to play, Zeus was very mellow for much of the day, synchronizing with my actions, which meant sleeping. Granted Zeus sleeps a lot, but on this given day he slept more than usual. Aside from sleeping, Zeus loves playing ball outside. I would say he catches the ball just as good as the players who play for the University of Hawaii's baseball team. He knows where I will throw the ball just by looking at the position that my chair is facing. If I turn my chair to the right, Zeus knows that the ball will be thrown in that direction, to the right. And if I am facing Zeus straight on, he knows that I will throw the ball so it bounces off the wall behind him. Each night, I have Zeus retrieve my shoes and socks that I will use for the next day. I just need to give him the command once and he will proceed to pick up all four
Brian & Zeus after the presentation
items, the 2 shoes and the 2 socks. As much as this so called experiment is thought to be amazing or groundbreaking, and as much of the credit should go to Mo Maurer and the great people of the Hawaii Canines for Independence, Zeus and I view our relationship as just a normal way of communicating. Dogs communicate through body language when they are out in the wild in their packs. This makes our relationship rather ideal since Zeus is simply using natural instincts. It also speaks to the idea that the best relationships can occur when two individuals actually keep quiet and listen to each other. Not only listen to each other, but take an active interest in what the other is trying to communicate. Besides knowing that Zeus is ready to enable me to be more independent at any given time; meaning he has the capability to perform tasks that could help me later in life, even if I might not necessarily need him to do certain things now. Besides having that comfort, I would say Zeus has taught me many lessons through
his unique genius. The first lesson has been the concept of how to be a friend who demonstrates un conditional love. Zeus demonstrates this unconditional love each and everyday. He performs actions that help me not because he expects any grand payment. Rather, he helps me because he chooses to help his buddy just because he has developed this mindset that he will do anything that he can in order to help me. If you really think about it, how many of us will do things for friends at a drop of a hat and roll your eyes, thinking must I really help you again?! I keep rather late hours since I find I do my better work at night, and as a doctoral student, there are nights when I need to burn the midnight oil. Zeus will be right there by my side, ready to help me should I need anything. Well almost anything, as he still has not mastered writing papers. Not once has he given me the look that implies, “not again, can you just let me sleep?!” The second lesson is that I need to take time to stop and enjoy the little things in life. As mentioned, Zeus loves to play ball outside. I could be doing work at my computer at home in the afternoon, Zeus will come up to me with this look that says, “forget about that paper for now and let's go play.” And there are times when I'm thinking, “There's no way I can afford to take time to play,” but Zeus will remain very persistent, especially when he knows he is correct. And I would say he is correct nearly all of the time. So I will stop what I am doing and will go outside and toss the ball around. The look of happiness that Zeus has when he is playing; that look makes the sacrifice of my time and energy all worth it. Along these lines, I take Zeus for daily walks around the block or somewhere in the community. He has this tendency to stop when he sees flowers and will try to smell them. And it’s not a case that he needs to use the bathroom, but rather its a case of him communicating to me, yet, again. Communicating a simple message: “See, I can take time to smell the flowers so you need to do the same.” >>> continued on page 22

In a society where we run off the notion that we should have done something a minute ago, Zeus turns that paradigm upside down. By this I mean, Zeus does not work off of a set schedule. He easily goes with the flow and does not get terribly excited if something doesn't happen at a given time. I have a routine of waking up each morning and checking my e-mail messages. During this time, Zeus understands that I am doing work and he will not come up to interrupt me, and he usually just lays down quietly. He does the same when I might spend a day at the office working at school. He knows that when I go into the office, it is not a time to play so he will lay down quietly in his spot, and he will patiently wait for me to finish what I am doing. That brings up lesson three, how to be patient. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of patience, but Zeus has taught me that I still have a lot to learn in terms of being patient. Zeus will literally wait for me to finish doing what I'm working on, be it listening to an exciting lecture in class, or if I am delivering a most riveting lecture, he will lay patiently. He has this uncanny ability to decipher when I'm working on something that isn't negotiable, versus when I might be working on something that I could take a break from. I would venture to guess that he deciphers this through my body language. I have been told by more than a few sources that a dog is a so called “chick magnet.” Well, I've had Zeus for just about 2 years now and we have not attracted any chicks. So perhaps, just perhaps, his magnet is broken; or he could be teaching me another lesson in patience. I would say it is the latter. Finally, I came across this quote by saint Francis of Assisi. “God requires that we assist the animals, when they need our help as each being, human or creature, has the same right of protection.” I feel like this quote sums up how I view my partnership with Zeus. Zeus helps me be more independent and listens to me, so in turn, it is only fair that I look out for his well being and listen to him as well. This can be seen as true communication in action, as Zeus is a genius, who helps to unleash all of my abilities!

Shower, a former resident of Oahu now living in North Carolina, comes back to Hawaii twice a year donating her time, using her own supplies and performs vaccinations and de-worming treatments solely for the dogs K9 Kokua assists.

area. One source of comfort, however, is their animals. More tents have dogs outside than those who don’t, and only one organization is dedicated to providing help to the 160 or so dogs living there. Founding member of K9 Kokua, Kale Lyman has been doing this work since 2003. She became compelled to do something after driving home from her job at Diagnostic Laboratory Services (she has since left her full-time job and now devotes her time exclusively to K9 Kokua) each day and seeing dogs in desperate need of help.

Veterinarian Ann Showers and K9 Kokua Founder Kale Lyman assess the health of a homeless dog living on the Waianae coastline.
“I love the things K9 Kokua is doing. They help us out a lot. They are there when we need them. My dogs would not be healthy if it wasn’t for them,” said Harley Kane, who lives along the coast with his two dogs Girlie and Princess. Both dogs received spay/neuter services and emergency medical care from K9 Kokua. Dozens of the people living on the beach praise the work of K9 Kokua. “A lot of times, I might not have money to help my dogs, and that is where K9 >>> Continued on page 26

Kokua comes in. They are a savior to our dogs; just so great” said Kaiwi (who asked not to use her last name). Enlisting friends, other nonprofit organizations, partner vet clinics, pet stores, and other groups, the team goes to the beach several times a week, passing out food and toys, offering advice, and providing other much-needed veterinarian care. The team also emphasizes to the homeless the importance of spaying and neutering the dogs, greatly reducing the number of unwanted animals. Often, this is the only way these dogs will ever have the chance to receive lifesaving medical services. Lyman’s cell phone is always on, ready to help a dog that would likely die without the group’s support. The dog owners trust the K9 Kokua team, and know they can call at any time day or night with an urgent situation. K9 Kokua receives no funding from the state of Hawaii for this courageous effort, and relies on a grassroots movement of donors and supporters. Often, when the state does offer shelter for the homeless, they are forced to leave their pets behind. And many homeless stay on the beach so they don’t have to give up their dogs. Mostly, the animals are given the best care the homeless can afford. Many dogs have housing with fresh food and water. Most are tied up, to keep them from running into the congested, traffic-ridden highway, but the dogs are constantly at their owners’ side, and it is clear these animals have formed a lasting bond with their caretakers. In this circumstance, the tethering serves as a safety precaution, with most owners living outside with the dogs. K9 Kokua does not provide a handout. The volunteers don’t want the homeless to become dependent. Rather, they are a resource for the animals when the residents need it. “We don’t tell them which days we’ll be out so they know they are ultimately responsible for caring for their dogs. We do ask them to contribute for vaccinations. It is more symbolic that they pay us what they can, so they understand they must also do their part,” said Lyman. “Even if they can only afford $5, it is the gesture that we seek. We will still provide the shots if the owners do not have any money, but we are trying to help them become more independent and accustomed to including their dog’s needs in their budget. Owning a dog is a huge responsi-

bility, and we do not exist to be the sole provider for their dog,” Lyman explained. The owners love their animals and are happy to see volunteers from K9 Kokua and share what having the volunteers on the beach means to them. In turn, the dogs perk up when the crew arrives and are very familiar with having them on the beach. K9 Kokua needs volunteers, donations, fosters for homeless pets, and supplies to continue their mission. Their website, www.k9kokua.org, contains story after
story of animals and families they have helped and the many partnerships that have been formed as the result of their hard work. Day-to-day updates on the dogs are featured on Lyman’s Facebook page under Waianae Bullys. “My dogs are my life. I love coming home and seeing them and K9 Kokua has helped me so much in keeping the dogs healthy,” said Frederico Edrozo, whose two dogs are receiving spay and neuter services, along with free transportation to Animal House, a vet clinic in Ewa Beach.

Cesar’s Tips:
How to Introduce Your Dog to Your Baby
By Cesar Millan. Learn more at www.cesarsway.com.
Kawela and Robbie, getting to know each other.
Our dogs are very in tune with us, so with an event as monumental as a pregnancy, your dog has already sensed that something is up. But just because she has picked up on the new feelings hanging in the air, doesn't mean that she understands what they mean. Here are a few tips for preparing your dog for the new arrival. Focus on leadership. Nine months is more than enough time to work through most issues and establish yourself as the unwavering pack leader. Smooth out any small problems you may be having. Break her of unwanted habits. If necessary, hire a professional to work with you. You will appreciate the work you put in now when you bring your newborn home to a calm, well-behaved dog. Be aware of your energy. A pregnancy affects the entire household. You may feel excited, anxious, or worried. Remember, your dog will mirror your emotions. Claim your baby's scent. Bring an item that contains your baby's scent, such as a burp cloth, from the hospital before bringing home the baby. During this exercise, it is crucial that you set clear boundaries. Challenge the dog to sniff from a distance, while you are holding the item. By doing so, you are communicating to your dog that the item is yours and then giving permission for the dog to sniff. "This new item belongs to me, and you will need to follow my rules when around it." This helps start the process of creating respect for the baby. Establish boundaries around the nursery. I recommend starting with the nursery off-limits. Condition your dog to understand that there is an invisible barrier that she may not cross without your permission. Eventually, you can allow your dog to explore and sniff certain things in the room—with your supervision. Then you decide when she needs to leave. Repeat this activity a few times before the baby ar-
