The pain of his trainer: "Kaos had the gift of saving lives"

The last goodbye to Kaos, Kira, gave him silently. He found the precise point where his companion had been buried. She is lying next to her. And he remained motionless. Not a cry. Neither a complaint. Determined not to move there. When, after pretending caresses, Fabiano Ettorre, he managed to bring her back home, next to the little Cora, a tawny puppy and black ears that the two had had two months ago, she s'. squatted in a corner and did not want to eat or drink anymore. "It was incredible," says Fabiano. "It broke my heart to see her because she wanted to be near him for a while."

The hero of the dog

He was born in Rome, 3 years and a half ago, Kaos, the dog hero of the earthquake. In a breeding of German shepherds. But at 45 days his mother stopped caring for him. Too early for weaning. The breeder, a friend of Fabiano, had confided to him the fear of not being able to survive. "We looked at each other, and I thought," Let's try. How are you? It went well. Slowly, he became bigger and smaller and less fragile. Indeed. In reality, he became a dog with a scary force and a great desire to live. He was everyone's friend. Everyone was partying. It was nice. Patient: From my little girl she rode like a pony. It will be difficult to tell him that he is gone. Nobody can believe it. He was killed by the people he saved. "

Trainer and Volunteer

Fabiano has a bar and a construction activity, but he is also a trainer and volunteer in a search and rescue badociation." Kaos training had started on the ruins from the Aquila.These pebbles, the collapsed walls and the dust that still invade Sant & Eusanio Forconese, the hamlet where Fabiano had moved just to have more space available for his dogs. "Search," said his master, and he went up and down on the ruins, slipped between the stones and under the pieces of wood, entered the doors, sniffed everywhere and finally found the person hidden.

Amatrice [19659003] But the first appearance on the field took place at Amatrice, on the night of August 24, 2016. "When I heard the first shock I immediately understood what I would have found" , remembers Fabiano. "In less than twenty minutes, we were already there. It's time to get dressed and take the dog's equipment. Kaos had a natural predisposition for research. There was no need to explain or exercise. He had a gift. The ability to always see when you were in trouble, almost asking with your eyes if you needed help. He was good from the start. "

Among the ruins

As soon as he arrived in the ruins of the destroyed city, he had not spared himself." He had jumped beams and dug under the roof tiles slumped on the ground, jumped stones, inspected each hole and at the risk of his life had slipped between the collapsed buildings looking for someone to help.He had done so to find people buried.He had barked and warned that someone was there, but in two cases it was too late, but with Kira and his master he had remained ten days, and he had continued digging, rescuing, helping. Until the legs hurt.

A faithful friend

He had recently given a decisive help to find a missing person to Roio Who could have him with him? "I do not know . He would have died for the others ", Fabiano despairs that Kaos sent a message via Facebook recommending him:" Do not feel the hate for those who did that, even if tomorrow will need help, be superior and that you will look in the eyes that you are his Savior. "And he added," We have seen so much. Many help you. And for many, we have not succeeded. You worked day and night when it was served. You have been a faithful friend. We shared and shared the house, the sofa, everything. Run my friend, run, do not stop, one day we will kiss again. You have left an impbadable void in the hands of a nasty person … continue your work up there continue to look lost, to save lives! Hi my friend ".
