Arrival Story:
Jingo was a stray that showed up at a construction site at quitting time. He stayed there with his companion Molly. When we discovered this pair, we worked hard to gain their trust and to feed them. One day, Jingo disappeared and stayed away from his evening feeding for two days. We feared he had been hit by a car. When he did appear 3 days later he was in terrible shape and we knew we had to accelerate our rescue plan. We rescued Jingo that night and stabilized him at our home until he could be seen by our vet. What we learned from the vet's examination was that Jingo was brutally attacked by a human perpetrator that beat him with a pipe, stabbed him 3 times and broke his pelvis in 6 spots. We think the perpetrator stomped on his hips in an effort to crush and kill him. Jingo was less tha 24 hours away from dying. He had a massive infection raging in his knife wounds and he smelled like rotten flesh. Xrays also show he has been shot twice with a BB gun. But these BB pellets are old wounds but also a sign that he's been abused many times in his life. Jingo has been at our home in rehabilitation since November 2006. (SIDE NOTE: Molly was rescued shortly thereafter. She lived at our local shelter for 2 months and was adopted by an American couple that live on a huge ranch. She is doing very well in her new home!)

Bio:
UPDATE/January 11, 2007: Jingo slipped on wet tile outside while it was raining and re-fractured his pelvis. We are currently managing his pain with medication and confining him to small quarters to help his bones knit together again. It's like starting over from square one. So frustrating as it was our goal to move him out to the side yard soon. But for now, he remains in a small pen.

Forums Motto:
Fall down seven times, get up eight.

COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE:
MEXICO

I Have a New Fenced In Yard

Written by: Jingo

Two nights ago, my new family released me from my quarantine pen and put me into the side yard. Half the yard is divided so that I have my area away from Oso. He is too rough with me and likes to jump on my back and with my bad hips and all, my parents just can't let that happen. So I now have my own space where I am free to roam around. I have the safety of my crate but I pulled my towel out and I'm sleeping on it on the ground near the gate. Oso comes out and he visits me. He is tolerable through the picket fence. We sniff each other and wag tails. Oso has tried to dig under the gate several times. But my Mom put an end to that. She stuck bricks where Oso was digging and now she puts him on a leash so he cannot reach my fence. He just sits in the yard looking at me. I lay near the fence gate looking at him. This is our routine now. Rejoice - as I, Jingo the Invincible is no longer held captive in the small pen. I have been given my own land on the East Side of House! Behold! God is Good!

Love, Jingo the Invincible XOXO

Mom taught me a few things tonight. I'm so smart I caught on pretty quick. 1) If I don't calm down, she won't approach or pet me, 2) that I'm suppose to make my bottom touch the concrete when she says, "sit" and 3) I need to have my chest touching the ground when she says, "down". If I don't comply, Mom says, "no", then retreats from my quarantine area. If I do comply with her commands she rubs my ears and my chest. I love affection and I'll do anything for love. So, "sit", and "down". I get it! I can do that! If that means more belly rubs I'll do sit and go down any day!! WOOHOO! Is it really that simple??? Mom said she's coming back out to work with me tomorrow. I can't wait!

Love, Jingo the Invincible

 

And Just When You Think It Can't Get Any Worse...

Yes, the Little Black Man of Inside the House ventured into the West Side of House and pee'd on my food bowl. Can you believe it?! He sneaked into my side earlier today and my Mom shoo'd him off but tonight, he entered undetected by the humans that control his whereabouts. And he did it. Because trust me, I would never pee there or on my bowl. Now do you see why we are at odds? I mean, get this, my pelvis is broken and I'm sitting over here trying to heal and this crazy black dog pees all over my eating area. I am pulling my sword and declaring WAR! War against the Little Black Man of Inside of House!!!
