For many of us, our four-legged friends are a source of comfort, humour and friendship. We chatted to three North Coast locals about their dogs and the role they play in their lives\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

THE INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLER<\/strong>
\n\"\"Loca is definitely one of our community\u2019s most well-travelled hounds. Although she now lives her best life chasing crabs on Ballito\u2019s beaches, she had a sad start nine years ago in the island nation of Taiwan. A six-week-old Loca was found alone near an ancient temple at Fulong Beach, whimpering and cuddling her lifeless brother who had been struck by a vehicle. Peter Kowalski, a Canadian studying sea turtles in Taiwan at the time, took her in.
\nBut how did she end up on KZN\u2019s north coast? Well, it turns out Peter was lucky enough to meet both Loca and his South African wife, May, at the very same beach! Unfortunately, getting Loca into SA was a major challenge due to strict animal importation regulations. A great deal of time, money, stress, and logistics were involved, including couriering a sample of Loca\u2019s blood on ice from Taiwan to Johannesburg overnight. \u201cWorth every minute and cent\u201d, says Peter.<\/p>\n

Loca is a \u201cTaiwan earth dog\u201d, a mix between Taiwan\u2019s indigenous hunting breed and whatever happened to be wandering the street when she was conceived. So\u2026 a Taiwanese street dog. Despite Loca looking like your typical African street dog (or \u201cAfricanis\u201d) at first glance, Peter and May often get stopped on the promenade by locals asking what breed Loca is. True to her Taiwanese hunting dog heritage, Loca\u2019s favourite treat is braised pork rice, with her cunning nemesis being the vervet monkey.<\/p>\n

THE LOYAL COMPANION<\/strong>
\nJenna Eaton, a Ballito-based teenager with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), has a special bond with her dog Tiggy. Early last year, Jenna\u2019s mom Paula found out about the benefits that an autism support dog could provide and submitted an application through the South African Guide Dogs Association. \u201cThe organisation has a very thorough process of matching dogs that are in training, and once a match has been identified, the family goes through extremely thorough training to take on the support dog,\u201d Paula explains.
\nA few months later, the family received Tiggy. \u201cThe trainer felt Tiggy was a great match for Jenna, especially in the role of autism support as opposed to her fulfilling a traditional service dog role,\u201d says Paula. \u201cThere are also age limits to receiving support dogs, so getting her this soon has been a blessing!\u201d
\n\"\"Since receiving Tiggy, the family has learnt a lot as she goes everywhere with them. \u201cWe have to think through all our movements and holiday plans to ensure she is included,\u201d says Paula. \u201cShe comes with lots of responsibility to maintain her training and ensure she fulfils her role. Of course, she also needs her free time and exercise too. She has become intertwined in our lives and has been a beautiful addition to our family.\u201d
\nJenna and Tiggy\u2019s relationship has grown immensely over the past year. \u201cWe are extremely happy with the companionship that Tiggy provides our daughter,\u201d says Paula. \u201cBeing an autistic teenager poses challenges with social abilities, friendship circles and the lack of diverse opportunities and experiences that her peers experience. Tiggy brings her much comfort, love and companionship. We believe this is a fundamental human need and are eternally grateful for this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE RESTAURANT MANAGER<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been to Jimbo\u2019s Burger Bar in Ballito, you would have met Vato, the friendly four-legged restaurant manager. Sadly, Vato recently passed away, but he still holds a special place in his owner James Harvey\u2019s heart. A rescue AmStaf, Vato was five months old when James adopted him. James was going through a break-up and staying at a friend\u2019s house when he saw Vato up for adoption. \u201cI thought, what are the chances they\u2019ll choose me? The blue-eyed boy had hundreds of applications. They came for a home check and chose me to be his dad.\u201d Originally called Rocky Blue, James changed his name to Vato, which means dude in Spanish slang, as soon as he picked him up. \u201cI very rarely went anywhere without him,\u201d says James. \u201cI always referred to him as my soul dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

James\u2019 bestie spent most of his time at the restaurant. \u201cHe mostly headed up guest relations,\u201d jokes James. \u201cHis important role was to check the customers were happy with their burgers, but he did tend to hang around certain tables a bit too long!\u201d
\nThe AmStaf breed is often misunderstood as a fighting dog. Vato, however, was anything but aggressive. \u201cHe was very social,\u201d says James. \u201cHe would sit next to me all day and paw me until I tickled his chest and tummy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
