Our Habibi Bear Pups are Heroes in the Making!
If you are part of the lucky crowd who has a Habibi Bear puppy, you know just how special these little guys and gals are! Not only are they cute, cuddly, friendly and fluffy, they are born and bred to be compassionate and caring, loving and brave. These amazing dogs are wired to be tuned into their humans and their environment, because we at Habibi Bears breed for temperament and purpose first, and looks second. And our efforts have paid off tremendously. We get letters and emails all the time about how well our pups fit into their new homes, a testament to our assessment method and breeding practices. But the biggest pay-off is that we have had a few amazing anecdotes related to us by families about pups we are proud to identify as Habibi Bear Heroes!
Life-Saving Companion
These are wee pups who have saved their family from imminent disaster, as in the case of Super Pup Habibi Heroine Honey, whose insistent and on that particular evening, unusual bark, let her dad Mike know there was something amiss in their home. Honey was a Hannah’s Heart gifted dog, through our non-profit organization to a local family. Honey became the apple of her dad’s eye and it was their bond and her unusual behavior on that particular night that tipped her dad off. When Mike went to investigate, he discovered a gas burner that had been left on that was filling the home with deadly invisible gas. Paramedics and emergency crews who arrived to help notified Mike that a mere 90 minutes more would have led to the demise of the entire family without Honey’s vigilance and warnings.
River the Snake Charmer
Not to be outdone, there is also the case of Super Pup Habibi Heroine River, who while outside with her mom in their backyard garden, stepped in front of a deadly Copperhead snake and took the hit for her mom, saving her from a vicious bite and mortal danger. Brave little River, only one year old, kept fighting for her life for 48 hours, refusing to let death take her from the family she loved so much. River quickly became the vet office favorite, and the techs were fighting to hold her during her grueling battle, as she managed to fully recover to the huge relief of everyone involved with her astonishing and courageous story.
Introducing Titan
We are pleased as punch to recognize and give a big round of applause to another one of our extraordinary dogs. We proudly introduce Super Dog Habibi Bear Hero Titan, who made a valiant attempt to alert his mom and family about a tragedy unfolding at their neighbor’s home next door. Titan, instead of cuddling with his mom at their usual time of day, was frantically and desperately barking in an abnormal and agitated manner, trying to get her attention.
When a walk around the home didn’t reveal anything unusual, the family took Titan outside, to see if he would calm down. Instead, he became more animated and insistent, even to the point of slipping out of his harness to break free and run to the neighbor’s house just a few doors away. Imagine the family’s surprise when they discovered several rescue vehicles and an ambulance carrying out a very ill young man on a stretcher. Sensing the distress and turmoil in the area, Titan had been trying to warn his family about the out of the ordinary events taking place. “Titan’s empathy and loyalty make him exceptional,” his mom Dina relates, and she is very “proud of his compassion and intuition.” We would like to thank his mom for sharing another story about how the bond that you create and cultivate with your Habibi Bear pups is the magic ingredient that causes them to blossom and shine brilliantly in this nebulous world, like little beacons of love and hope for all to see.
