Bogdan Krivolapov is 13 years old. He lives in the settlement Dergachy of the Kharkiv region. He has a big and friendly family – two sisters and a brother. When Bogdan was just a baby, grief came to their house. The boy was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Doctors didn’t leave him any chances to live. But Krivolapov family didn’t obey destiny. They beat cancer. Belief and kind people helped them. Bogdan is sure that the pet is involved in his recovery, the dog named Dick.
“Mother says that when I was in resuscitation, the nurse couldn’t understand whom I was calling, what “Dick”. And I called the dog, – Bogdan tells. – I couldn’t leave him. He waited for my arrival, and we could be together again. Dick was presented to me for my first year birthday. He was a real friend, grieved very much while I was in hospital”.
Bogdan overcame a dreadful disease and recovered. His loyal friend Dick met him at home.
“I still remember how he rejoiced and licked me from head to toe. We played, walked, dragged branches – it was his hobby – Bogdan remembers – And then Dick died …”
It was a hard commotion for the boy. His father, Valery Nikolaevich, tells that it was a great loss for all family, Dick was everybody’s favorite.
“I consider that it is impossible to raise in children responsibility, love, the compassion without pets and especially without a dog. We were going to take a new dog, of course. Bogdan wanted very much the new friend was similar to his Dick, and that was a boxer. We promised him several times but there were no opportunities, – Valery Nikolaevich tells – Bogdan decided to write the letter to Feldman Alexander Borisovich. Our family often comes in Feldman Ecopark and there we found out about his Breeding kennel. Bogdan asked a doggie from there. He was answered, and the dream came true – we were presented the Spanish Alano!”
Now Bogdan has a new loyal friend, and the Krivolapov family has funny and cheerful favourite, and also reliable though yet small defender. “The Spanish Alano is a very interesting breed. Dog is even-tempered, quiet and strong. Grows up rather big in size, but remains easy and mobile, – the keeper of the Santa House Feldman Breeding kennel Vadim Mataradza concults the new owners of a thoroughbred puppy. – It is possible to keep both a dog in a flat and in a private house. This breed is very devoted to the owner, adores children, likes to play, but in an extreme situation will protect them to the last breath. The Alano (translated from Karachay “”, “relative”) truly have Spanish nature – bravery, nobility and aristocratism”.
What name to choose to a new Spanish “relative” the Krivolapov family will decide together on a family meeting. They gave names to their children in such way. It’s a custom in their big and friendly family.
