Caring for Our Brave and Loyal Canine Friends
Dogs show their noble qualities and work miracles by risking their lives to save humans out of unconditional love. Trained search-and-rescue dogs, with their acute sense of smell, swiftness and agility, often serve on the front lines locating people missing after natural disasters, lost children, injured hikers and others, being ready at a moment’s notice to bravely endure the elements and save lives. Many people around the world were deeply moved when they viewed TV reports about these intelligent canines locating trapped victims in the aftermath of the 911 tragedy in the United States, and the Sichuan earthquake in China, despite the danger they faced. Regarding canines’ loyal service to humankind, Supreme Master Ching Hai says the following:
The dogs walk in the sharp, broken glass or anything like that, even chemical leaking or anything, or germs or danger. These are precious dogs. They have been trained for years. And they’d even lay down their life for anyone at command. You have to protect those dogs.
To show Her loving support for our loyal canine friends and their
human partners, Supreme Master Ching Hai has generously contributed approximately
US$80,000 to more than 75 search-and-rescue centers in 21 countries. Her
loving gifts have been delivered by our fellow initiates, who have also
produced programs featuring the training and work of these noble rescue
teams. To watch these programs, please visit www.suprememastertv.com.
