Name : "Goku"
Breed : Chinese Sharpei


 Goku is a male Chinese Sharpei. He is now 6 months young. He is under the loving care of my girlfriend (Thanks that she is also a dog lover) at Bacoor, Cavite. Goku is an "adopted" dog. Here is the story how I adopted little Goku.

A friend of mine, Ms. Cristela Wu, one night, phoned me asking if I want to adopt a Pure Breed "with papers" Chinese Sharpei. Because it is unusual to give somebody a purebred "papered" dog to anybody specially a Chinese Sharpei, I asked why? Is there any problem? she answered yes, there is a problem. The pup is blind. When I heard this, my hearth suddenly stops beating for few seconds and without much thinking I accepted the offer. I ask why he is blind? My friend told me that the pup have an entropion. Their vet checked the puppy and said it is already blind. And the owner/breeder (her sister Rita) cannot stand seeing this poor puppy suffering, She offered it to me and only to me. Inside my mind, I know I can still do something or even try to do something so I accepted the offer. After that last conversation, I decided to pick up the puppy. My GF Irene with his brother-in-law Bobby accompanied me. When Irene and I saw the puppy, I felt differently. I fell inlove with a very deep of pity inside my hearth. The pup is so cute with those overlapping wrinkles but with closed eyes. He is also very very quiet, a typical of a blind. In short, I take him home with me that night.

The following morning, I bring Goku to my vet (Dra. Sicam) to check him. I am very very happy that my vet told me that there is still something we can do! She said that she will perform "tucking" procedure wherein the loose skins in his eyes will be "tucked". So I agreed and my vet told me to pick him up later in the evening. The evening comes, I got really excited to see how the tucking goes. I am delighted to see his both eyes for the first time! so, I took him home with the largest smile in my face.

After weeks of medications, his eyes is fully functional and Goku becomes a whole new pup that transforms from a very timid and quiet to a very lovable and active pup!

He is now doing well with Irene. How Goku got into Irene's hands? one simple answer - Irene fell inlove with Goku and ask me if she can have Goku and with her promise that she will take care of him, I did not hesitate and I did not regret it. at least twice a week, I able to see and play with Goku in Cavite. You can see that he is very happy and pleased on who he is right now.

I hope you learned something in this true to life story of Goku.
