Banzai is now five years old. He was found by a Good Samaritan who contacted a
JCCARE representative and asked if we could take him. He arrived with a terrible
case of demodectic mange, was dirty and terribly skinny. And less than one year
old. JCCARE took care of his medical problems and his foster mom took care of
his poor scared heart by giving him lots of love and playtime.
We adopted Banzai to help us with another Chin who'd spent his life in a puppy
mill and had no idea how to be a Chin. Banzai literally dragged him out of his
basket and insisted that he play, go outside, eat, and even check out the humans
in the place. He succeeded beyond our hopes, for which we will be forever
grateful.
Today, Banzai, having passed GAP II, is studying to be a rescue dog. Now before
you run off and do this with your little blunt-nosed furlove, know that he can
never actually do this work due to his size. He's learning these skills to keep
his busy little mind happy, and he delights in showing them off! Banzai also has
two bad knees that throw off his gait and limit jumping and other such active
pursuits, but we find him things to learn that don't hurt those knees.
