- 3:06Speaker 1: saving animal hero. Jack Hannah, Welcome to crime Stories. Tell
- 3:14Speaker 1: me your thoughts on animal heroes. Why do they go unsung. Well,
- 3:19Speaker 1: you know, you know, we're all in the media, and
- 3:22Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times the the media likes
- 3:24Speaker 1: to talk about negative things of the animals, when you know,
- 3:26Speaker 1: it's just news. People love animals since the beginning of time,
- 3:30Speaker 1: uh As I tell people, you know, I don't know
- 3:32Speaker 1: what the prehistoric wolf looked like and things like that,
- 3:34Speaker 1: but is things developed over the thousands, tens of millions
- 3:37Speaker 1: of years whatever, Then those animals became, you know, probably
- 3:40Speaker 1: the food source for many many people, cave people, whoever
- 3:43Speaker 1: was alive then, and of course those animals became uh more.
- 3:46Speaker 1: The word I use habituated, which means used to people.
- 3:49Speaker 1: I mean, you look at Diane Flossy uh a New Virtues,
- 3:52Speaker 1: a friend of mine, and I have a home in
- 3:53Speaker 1: Rwanda right next to Mountain Girls where soon I have
- 3:55Speaker 1: a home there for two miles from the grillers live.
- 3:57Speaker 1: And you look back at history, whether grillers were post
- 4:00Speaker 1: they were hunted for body parts and for food and
- 4:01Speaker 1: things like this. Um so as as cultures developed throughout
- 4:05Speaker 1: the world, way back from who knows, tens of thousand
- 4:07Speaker 1: millions of years ago, cultures developed, and that's what I
- 4:10Speaker 1: tell people. I have a saying real quickly touched the
- 4:12Speaker 1: heart to teach the mind. So when when I go
- 4:14Speaker 1: into these countries all over the world, the film and
- 4:15Speaker 1: not just a film to talk to him about, you know,
- 4:18Speaker 1: taking care of conservation animals like the birds. They might
- 4:20Speaker 1: eat too many other this and that, and you talk
- 4:22Speaker 1: to them about their lives. First, the people and then
- 4:25Speaker 1: you can help the animals. I've always learned this over
- 4:27Speaker 1: the years of forty five years of doing this. Did
- 4:29Speaker 1: I go in to help people first and then in
- 4:31Speaker 1: turns helps the development of the animal world. So that's
- 4:34Speaker 1: what I do a great deal of. With me is
- 4:36Speaker 1: the renowned Jack Hannah, the director emeritus of the world
- 4:41Speaker 1: famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and host of Jack Canna's
- 4:45Speaker 1: Into the Wild and Wild Countdown. Jane Valez Mitchell, I
- 4:50Speaker 1: will never forget, Oh man, I miss you so much.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Jakes Mitchell, I will never forget. I think it was
- 4:57Speaker 1: youring top mom, Casey Anthony. We were all down in
- 5:00Speaker 1: Orlando and everyone was going to go out to dinner
- 5:04Speaker 1: one night and we ended up at what was that
- 5:08Speaker 1: place anyway, It was a steakhouse, and I thought that
- 5:14Speaker 1: Jane the Les Mitchell was going to jump out of
- 5:17Speaker 1: her skin. She By the time it was all over,
- 5:20Speaker 1: I was afraid to even have a bowl of spinach. So,
- 5:23Speaker 1: Jane Les Mitchell, why is this so important? Well, you,
- 5:29Speaker 1: if we love animals, don't eat them, don't wear them.
- 5:33Speaker 1: My belief system is that they're not commodities, they're not
- 5:36Speaker 1: things for us to use. Their individuals who were entitled
- 5:39Speaker 1: to their own lives, and that they have so much
- 5:41Speaker 1: more in common with us than they have separating us.
- 5:45Speaker 1: The animals that have central nervous systems, that have high hearts.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Here's anybody as a dog knows, dogs dream, so do pigs.
- 5:52Speaker 1: So we have so much in common with these animals.
- 5:55Speaker 1: And the truth is what's killing them, And by killing them,
- 5:59Speaker 1: were killing ourselves with heart disease and cancer and many
- 6:03Speaker 1: other diseases. So there's a way now to live, and honestly,
- 6:07Speaker 1: we can't sustain it, Nancy. Animal agriculture is the leading
- 6:10Speaker 1: cause of greenhouse gases, more than all transportation combined. It's
- 6:15Speaker 1: the leading cause of habitat destruction, which makes it a
- 6:18Speaker 1: leading cause of wildlife extinction. Why because we're seven and
- 6:22Speaker 1: a half billion people on this planet, but we killed
- 6:25Speaker 1: sixty to seventy billion animals that eat a lot of food,
- 6:28Speaker 1: so we have to destroy a lot of forests to
- 6:31Speaker 1: create crop land to feed sixty to seventy billion animals.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Many for me, a lot more than leaders. Jane Belas
- 6:37Speaker 1: tell me about Jane, that's your news. Yes, thank you
- 6:41Speaker 1: for asking Nancy. When I left HL lynn Um, they
- 6:44Speaker 1: had graciously allowed me to do one animal story a week.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I don't know if they knew what they were getting into,
- 6:49Speaker 1: but I was able to cover many, many stories that
- 6:53Speaker 1: normally don't get national coverage. Jane, Can I just tell
- 6:56Speaker 1: you something? I would pass Jane in the hall and
- 7:00Speaker 1: should say, awesome writings Nance, And I'm like, Jane, you
- 7:03Speaker 1: gotta stop with the plastic bags. Okay, we know they're bad.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I know they're bad. I don't think they realize that
- 7:10Speaker 1: you're getting in a lot more animal stories. And I'm
- 7:13Speaker 1: so proud of you. Jane unchained dot com. Thank you,
- 7:18Speaker 1: And it's as social. It's a digital news network for
- 7:20Speaker 1: animal rights. We had almost sixteen million views on Facebook
- 7:25Speaker 1: this past year. We just added it up. Yeah, okay,
- 7:29Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen. You and Jack
- 7:31Speaker 1: Hannah to a very special guest joining me right now, Dory, Natal,
- 7:37Speaker 1: I am looking at a photo of you, Dorry, and
- 7:44Speaker 1: the story that you have to tell is incredible. Thank you.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Tell me what happened, Dorry. Welcome to crime stories here
- 7:53Speaker 1: on Serious XO, tell me what happened. I'm sure Jack,
- 7:57Speaker 1: Hannah and Jane Blaise are not going to be surprised,
- 8:01Speaker 1: but I bet our listeners are. Go ahead. My son
- 8:04Speaker 1: was diagnosed with type one diabetes when he was too UM.
- 8:08Speaker 1: It's an incurable, non preventable lifetime disease. UM where his
- 8:13Speaker 1: blood trigger. We have to inject into when multiple times
- 8:16Speaker 1: in the day just to to keep him alive. UM.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Without that, we prick a finger every two to three hours. Okay,
- 8:21Speaker 1: wait a minute, Wait a minute, it's just so much,
- 8:23Speaker 1: so fast. I always say I'm drinking out of a
- 8:25Speaker 1: fire hydra. I can't take it all in. Your baby,
- 8:28Speaker 1: your baby boy. I have a boy and a girl, Jack,
- 8:31Speaker 1: Can you believe it? Jane, I actually have children, my
- 8:34Speaker 1: life long dream. And I'm miserable because I could just
- 8:37Speaker 1: see him walking out the door to college, and how
- 8:39Speaker 1: do they know Mommy's going back to school? So I
- 8:43Speaker 1: my my daughter just had their twins, so their birthday
- 8:46Speaker 1: parties are now they have to be separate. Misery. My
- 8:49Speaker 1: daughter had to spend the night party and one of
- 8:52Speaker 1: her little friends has diabetes and she has a monitor.
- 8:56Speaker 1: It went off all during the night, and I was
- 8:58Speaker 1: so afraid I would do something wrong. I kept reading
- 9:02Speaker 1: the moms text message instructions and oh, I was so worried. Um.
- 9:07Speaker 1: As it turned out, it was not, you know, hard
- 9:10Speaker 1: to do it all, but it is very you have
- 9:15Speaker 1: to do. You have to stay on top of it.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I did it one night. You are telling me you
- 9:20Speaker 1: give your son injections throughout today just to keep him alive. Yes,
- 9:26Speaker 1: that's that's um. The thing that I think a lot
- 9:28Speaker 1: of people don't really understand about diabetes is that type
- 9:32Speaker 1: one diabetes especially is a twenty four hour disease and
- 9:37Speaker 1: you I am trying to be a pancreas for him,
- 9:40Speaker 1: and it's a very hard thing to do. And when
- 9:42Speaker 1: he was very little, he couldn't tell me how he
- 9:44Speaker 1: felt if he felt off. Um, So we decided to
- 9:49Speaker 1: research all the technology, all the technology. We have a monitor,
- 9:53Speaker 1: we finger prick. But then we started we are an
- 9:56Speaker 1: animal lover family, and we dectarted to pay a minute
- 10:00Speaker 1: guys go online, and you've got to look at the
- 10:02Speaker 1: picture of what she's talking about. There's her beautiful baby boy.
- 10:06Speaker 1: He's asleep with a coverse pulled up. There's a diabetes monitor.
- 10:11Speaker 1: There's stuff sitting on the like a little pack folded out,
- 10:14Speaker 1: a medipack. You see her hand holding. The monitor has
- 10:18Speaker 1: fifty seven on it. And right beside it, it's a
- 10:21Speaker 1: dog that looks a lot like my little fat boy,
- 10:23Speaker 1: a little black dog looking up at the picture. And
- 10:26Speaker 1: this is on Facebook. Now go ahead, we I'm looking
- 10:29Speaker 1: at the picture right now. Tell me what happened. Well,
- 10:33Speaker 1: it was a typical night before bed. We always tested
- 10:36Speaker 1: his blood sugar, We calibrate his monitors, and then we
- 10:39Speaker 1: go to sleep. I set several alarms overnight and there's
- 10:43Speaker 1: many things that can wake me up, either my the monitor,
- 10:47Speaker 1: my alarm clock, or Jedi. And the amazing thing about
- 10:50Speaker 1: Jedi is he's been with us for five years now,
- 10:53Speaker 1: ever since my son was three. Is he consents the dog? Right,
- 10:58Speaker 1: Jedi is my son's dog, and my son's name is Luke. Oh,
- 11:01Speaker 1: my stars, I get it. The English like this dog. Okay, Jane,
- 11:07Speaker 1: you have to go online. We're we've we've posted this
- 11:10Speaker 1: on crime online dot Com. You gotta say this dog Jane,
- 11:13Speaker 1: no stealing anymore pants. Okay, back to Jedi, go ahead. Um.
- 11:17Speaker 1: So we're Star Wars family. So Luke loves named him Jedi,
- 11:22Speaker 1: and um he has, as Luke calls him, magic powers.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Jedi knows when he's going to drop or go. His
- 11:30Speaker 1: blood sugar go high about twenty minutes before the meters
- 11:33Speaker 1: um and sometimes the meters take a long time to
- 11:36Speaker 1: catch up. But Jedi um, they're still researching the actual chemical.
- 11:42Speaker 1: But Jedi can smell the changes in Luke's body. And
- 11:46Speaker 1: that night he um was laying on my feet. And
- 11:49Speaker 1: his alert at night is to jump off the bed,
- 11:52Speaker 1: jump back on the bed until I wake up. And
- 11:55Speaker 1: so that night I was asleep, everything was fine. I
- 11:58Speaker 1: had tested his blood sugar like I do every night,
- 12:00Speaker 1: and I had an alarm set for midnight but or
- 12:03Speaker 1: midnight and three, but it was between those alarms, and
- 12:06Speaker 1: yet I jumped up off the on the bed. It
- 12:08Speaker 1: took me a minute to wake up because this is
- 12:10Speaker 1: every night. And then he laid on me and I
- 12:13Speaker 1: got up, went to the kitchen like I always do,
- 12:16Speaker 1: got his kit tested him and he was fifty seven
- 12:20Speaker 1: and Um, which means I immediately had to wake him
- 12:22Speaker 1: up and give him have him in Jess. Glucos. What
- 12:27Speaker 1: does that mean? It means, That's what it says right there. Yeah,
- 12:31Speaker 1: the typical we all need glucose in ourselves to keep
- 12:35Speaker 1: our bodies going. It's the fuel for our bodies. And
- 12:38Speaker 1: typically most people run between seventy and one twenty that's
- 12:42Speaker 1: how much glucose they have in the South, and below
- 12:46Speaker 1: seventy it starts to become dangerous. Um, you can have
- 12:50Speaker 1: a seizure, you can go into a coma. UM. Luke
- 12:55Speaker 1: feels miserable when he's low. It's he says, it feels
- 12:58Speaker 1: like a stone sink into the ocean. Um. It's the
- 13:02Speaker 1: body shutting down because it doesn't have enough glucos and stars.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, let me just take this in a
- 13:08Speaker 1: moment with me. Is Dory, who you can see the
- 13:12Speaker 1: photo of her little baby, her angel in bed has
- 13:17Speaker 1: Type one diabetes. You have it for life, and it
- 13:22Speaker 1: can cause a death. Your body starts to shut down.
- 13:27Speaker 1: I'm looking at this shot of this beautiful angel and
- 13:32Speaker 1: he would not be alive today if it were not
- 13:35Speaker 1: for the dog Jedi. And I'm looking at your post
- 13:39Speaker 1: and you say, I've had already given him a glucose tab.
- 13:43Speaker 1: What else could I do? There's nothing, So in that moment,
- 13:48Speaker 1: I'm waiting for his blood sugar to come up like
- 13:50Speaker 1: I've done a thousand times, and I'll do a thousand
- 13:52Speaker 1: times more. And I feel so alone in a world
- 13:57Speaker 1: that doesn't understand what someone will Type one diabetes goes
- 14:01Speaker 1: through on a daily basis. And then that moment I
- 14:05Speaker 1: see beside you as this mom is standing there looking
- 14:09Speaker 1: down on her son, wondering what's happening, and there is
- 14:12Speaker 1: Jedi right beside the bed. Yes, I mean, I am
- 14:18Speaker 1: so moved if you could see this photo. So tell
- 14:22Speaker 1: me again, what did Jedi do to make you get up?
- 14:25Speaker 1: You'd already given him is you'd already taken care of
- 14:28Speaker 1: your baby? What made the dog? How did he get
- 14:31Speaker 1: you awake to get in there? Um? He doesn't stop,
- 14:35Speaker 1: he gets he lays on me, he'll nudge me, he'll
- 14:39Speaker 1: palm me. Um, he will do whatever it takes to
- 14:42Speaker 1: get my attention. We've been working with him for years
- 14:46Speaker 1: and he alerts multiple times a day. So for this
- 14:49Speaker 1: particular one, he was not giving up until I woke
- 14:52Speaker 1: up and you know, we're tired, and so sometimes I
- 14:55Speaker 1: looked at the meter and I the meter said he
- 14:57Speaker 1: was okay. So I didn't immediately jump, but when he
- 15:00Speaker 1: didn't give up, I got up and Um. There have
- 15:04Speaker 1: been several instances where he's found, he's alerted, and Luke's
- 15:08Speaker 1: been thirty or forty and I don't some of those
- 15:12Speaker 1: who would have been UM, but I know that Luke
- 15:17Speaker 1: is healthier and happier, and he's here today because of
- 15:21Speaker 1: Jedi helping me do everything that I need to do
- 15:24Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day to keep to keep Luke,
- 15:27Speaker 1: you know, happy and here, and Um, Jedi is is
- 15:32Speaker 1: always there for me. Um. It's an extra companion and
- 15:36Speaker 1: extra layer of support to help take care of Luke.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And I'm forever indebted to him. To Jack Hannah, director
- 15:43Speaker 1: emeritus of the world famous Columbus Zoo and host of
- 15:48Speaker 1: Jack Hannah's Into the Wild and the Wild Countdown, Jack,
- 15:53Speaker 1: when a baby boy says, Jedi has superpower, he has
- 16:00Speaker 1: magical powers? How how does it happen? How do they
- 16:05Speaker 1: do that? How does a pet do that? You know,
- 16:08Speaker 1: listening to what you're saying, getting you together, what everyone
- 16:10Speaker 1: is saying so far real quickly if you got a
- 16:12Speaker 1: second our daughter Julie, who lives with us, it's forty
- 16:14Speaker 1: two years old at the age of two and a half.
- 16:17Speaker 1: One of the worst forms of the team you can
- 16:18Speaker 1: imagine in the world in nineteen seventy seven. So he
- 16:20Speaker 1: rushed her uh down to St. Jude Hospital at that
- 16:23Speaker 1: two year old age. We're noxural at that time, by
- 16:24Speaker 1: the way, and they told us she would not live
- 16:26Speaker 1: twelve hours. So we got her barely there and not
- 16:29Speaker 1: a twelve kids are floor. Everyone passed away except she
- 16:32Speaker 1: and a little boy. Now Julie back to the animals,
- 16:35Speaker 1: was used for research. She had radiation to brain along
- 16:37Speaker 1: with another boy. There's only two that survived by the
- 16:39Speaker 1: twelve kids today. Of course that was one building in
- 16:42Speaker 1: n seventy seven. Jude has thirty today. So I'm saying
- 16:45Speaker 1: that my daughter Julie, along with the other boy, gave
- 16:48Speaker 1: their lives. Julius has had her last brain tumor two
- 16:50Speaker 1: years ago. She's forty three, lives with us. We continue
- 16:53Speaker 1: to have tumors with thank god, so far all of
- 16:55Speaker 1: them have been She lives with us and not that
- 16:58Speaker 1: uh there cancerous, but she's been just she survived what
- 17:02Speaker 1: I'm saying to you talking about animal world, what you
- 17:04Speaker 1: are doing. If you look up, there's a list and
- 17:06Speaker 1: I don't know where it is, of how many diseases
- 17:09Speaker 1: would it be measles, chicken pox, go down to about
- 17:12Speaker 1: forty of them. You'll see how the animal world literally
- 17:15Speaker 1: saved human beings by research. I'm not I'm not. I'm
- 17:18Speaker 1: not for inhumane. I don't like animal research become the
- 17:22Speaker 1: slamming dogs and animals and like that against rainshields to
- 17:24Speaker 1: test cars like they used to do. You. No, I'll
- 17:26Speaker 1: fight that against every every day. However, when it comes
- 17:29Speaker 1: to animal research for humane by the way, I said humane,
- 17:33Speaker 1: all right, when my own daughter or the other human
- 17:36Speaker 1: beings are being used. The animal world literally has saved
- 17:38Speaker 1: many of us. And one of the hardest things for
- 17:40Speaker 1: me to do is what I have in the last
- 17:42Speaker 1: twenty years. I guess if you're calling i'm not, I
- 17:44Speaker 1: know easy the word celebrity, by the way, I never have.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I'm an animal ambassador, and I don't like the word celebrity.
- 17:48Speaker 1: But when people come to me and a little child,
- 17:50Speaker 1: for example of last year was nine years old, I
- 17:52Speaker 1: think it's from Indianna her sister. She came she had
- 17:56Speaker 1: maybe her They told us on the phone that they
- 17:58Speaker 1: called the last wish and especially way, so that's wishes.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Or you go to my office, you'll see the pictures
- 18:02Speaker 1: of these young people who didn't make it. Their last
- 18:05Speaker 1: wish was to see an animal. And you won't believe this.
- 18:07Speaker 1: They came there um last year. You could see that
- 18:10Speaker 1: she was had because I've been through all this stuff
- 18:12Speaker 1: where she has no hair, and all the treatments with
- 18:15Speaker 1: drugs and everything everything, and she hadn't smiled. All of
- 18:18Speaker 1: a sudden, I put a little penguin right there in
- 18:20Speaker 1: her lap, and sure enough she smiled for one of
- 18:22Speaker 1: the first times. It's amazing what animals will do. Then
- 18:25Speaker 1: I asked the father, I mean you wipe her hands off.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Have a little slot I wanted to touch and it
- 18:30Speaker 1: was born there dars and plumbus, and he said, no,
- 18:33Speaker 1: jack her hands to be washed very shortly, and he
- 18:35Speaker 1: pointed to heaven. You don't think that myself and father
- 18:38Speaker 1: us there didn't lose it, you know. And what you're
- 18:41Speaker 1: talking about the same kind of thing. Animals, for some
- 18:43Speaker 1: reason they have they have a way with him. When
- 18:46Speaker 1: I've seen these children, their pictures on my walls and
- 18:48Speaker 1: ones that did not make it um but they had
- 18:51Speaker 1: their last thing. And I go to the child's hospitals,
- 18:53Speaker 1: even with some of the animals. You see these children
- 18:56Speaker 1: and how they just come out of that pain. And uh,
- 18:58Speaker 1: I wish I could explain, you know, Like I said,
- 19:00Speaker 1: I have a saying I lived by it. You have
- 19:01Speaker 1: touched the heart to teach the mind. And these kids
- 19:04Speaker 1: that are really touching my heart more than I am theirs,
- 19:07Speaker 1: and I just you know, I don't That's what I
- 19:09Speaker 1: can answer you a question again if you want me to.
- 19:11Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you what I have to look at.
- 19:13Speaker 1: I don't have to do it at all, but it's
- 19:14Speaker 1: something that really shows me in life what the animal
- 19:17Speaker 1: world means to to all of us. You know, there
- 19:19Speaker 1: were no words more beautiful than what you said, Jack, Hannah.
- 19:23Speaker 1: And I know you don't want to be thought of

- 19:29Speaker 1: world famous celebrity. Everybody knows. Jack. Hanna, in fact, may
- 19:35Speaker 1: be guilty of putting you in my last book where
- 19:38Speaker 1: there was an animal related murder, but you weren't connected
- 19:42Speaker 1: to that. Jack. You know what I'm saying is everybody
- 19:45Speaker 1: knows you, what everybody loves you for what you're doing
- 19:48Speaker 1: for animals. Did you know about a recent law that

- 21:15Speaker 1: to sense of smell. Humans have about five million cent receptors.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Dogs have up to three million, depending on the breed,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and it's been proven that they can sniff out chemical
- 21:31Speaker 1: change and detect all types of illnesses and humans, including
- 21:35Speaker 1: epileptic seizures, certain types of cancer, diabetes changes, and a
- 21:42Speaker 1: theory is that our present day dog and sstors Gray
- 21:47Speaker 1: wolf pack survival depended on the ability to know which
- 21:52Speaker 1: member of the pack was sick. Uh Jane blas you
- 21:56Speaker 1: have reported on so many pet here. Yes, well, first
- 22:02Speaker 1: of all, you should pay attention to your dog in
- 22:04Speaker 1: your home. There's a great story out of North Carolina
- 22:07Speaker 1: about a dog, a Labrador, who would get very agitated
- 22:11Speaker 1: when the families babysitter was around and would try to
- 22:15Speaker 1: place himself between the seven month old boy and the
- 22:18Speaker 1: babysitter and growl. And the parents noted the dog's haired
- 22:22Speaker 1: stand up. So they saw this happening so often they
- 22:26Speaker 1: decided to put a recording device in the home when
- 22:29Speaker 1: they left, and they found out that this babysitter was
- 22:32Speaker 1: abusing their child, slapping the child and insulting the child.
- 22:36Speaker 1: And because be they were alerted by the dog, they
- 22:39Speaker 1: ultimately had this woman arrested. So when you're a parent
- 22:44Speaker 1: or you're just a person, pay attention to your dogs.
- 22:47Speaker 1: If you want to know what it's like to be
- 22:48Speaker 1: an animal, take a vow of silence for a couple
- 22:51Speaker 1: of hours and see what mechanisms you're gonna use to communicate.
- 22:56Speaker 1: You're gonna find yourself tapping and doing a lot of
- 22:58Speaker 1: the same maneuvers the dogs can because they can't speak English,
- 23:02Speaker 1: but they can communicate. And um, you know what I
- 23:06Speaker 1: say is it's not just dogs. We have this odd
- 23:09Speaker 1: thing in our culture where some animals, Oh, we love them,
- 23:13Speaker 1: we adore them, we deify them. Others they're not entitled
- 23:16Speaker 1: to any respect and we consider them commodities. Let me
- 23:20Speaker 1: just tell you that there's um tremendous, tremendous intelligence and pigs.
- 23:24Speaker 1: In fact, Lulu, a housebroken pot belly pig, saved her
- 23:29Speaker 1: human companions of life. Um. The woman was on vacation
- 23:33Speaker 1: Joanne in Pennsylvania. She collapsed in a heart attack. The
- 23:37Speaker 1: pot belly pig ran out of the mobile home where
- 23:40Speaker 1: they were staying, crashed through the gates. When a car
- 23:42Speaker 1: was coming, the pig would lie down on the road.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Several cars just veered around the dog. Lulu kept running
- 23:49Speaker 1: back and checking on her human companion. Finally she ran
- 23:51Speaker 1: out threw herself around again. A motorcycle stop followed Lulu
- 23:56Speaker 1: back to the mobile home, and that's where he encounter
- 24:00Speaker 1: uh Lulu's mom Uh lying there having had a heart attack,
- 24:04Speaker 1: and they called mine one one. So pigs are extremely
- 24:07Speaker 1: intelligent animals. They are smarter than dogs, and they have
- 24:10Speaker 1: the intelligence of very young human children. So as we
- 24:14Speaker 1: expand our circle of compassion beyond the boundaries of our
- 24:18Speaker 1: own species, let's not just stop at dogs and cats.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Let's consider all animals, because guess what, We're all animals,
- 24:25Speaker 1: including us. You know, Jane Les Mitchell, Have I told
- 24:30Speaker 1: you today? I just love you. I loved you from
- 24:33Speaker 1: the very first moment that you filled in for me
- 24:37Speaker 1: as a guest host on CNN z H l Inn
- 24:41Speaker 1: and that was just it. And to hear you speak
- 24:45Speaker 1: and tell your stories. I just want the world to
- 24:49Speaker 1: love you as much as I love you. I just
- 24:52Speaker 1: can't imagine that I've got Jack Canna and Jane Llis
- 24:55Speaker 1: Mitchell on at the same time. You know, I've got
- 24:59Speaker 1: another lady with me and I want you guys to
- 25:01Speaker 1: hear her incredible story. And again I'm looking at a
- 25:05Speaker 1: picture of her, and I've just got to tell you
- 25:09Speaker 1: it just really makes me cry. It's a this lovely
- 25:14Speaker 1: blond lady and she's wearing tights, black tights and a
- 25:18Speaker 1: blue tshirt, and she's looking down at a little boy.
- 25:21Speaker 1: He looks like he's reading a iPad and he's got
- 25:25Speaker 1: his head resting on a big dog like he's a
- 25:28Speaker 1: pillow with me right now. And let me just go
- 25:31Speaker 1: ahead and destroy your name. I think I'm saying correctly,
- 25:35Speaker 1: Shawna n House. No, Yes, Oh my goodness, Alan, let
- 25:40Speaker 1: me just rub it in that I pronounced it right
- 25:42Speaker 1: the first time. I'm like some people you that I
- 25:46Speaker 1: won't mention Shawna. I'm looking at this little boy, and
- 25:49Speaker 1: I'm guessing this is your little boy. You're five year old? Yes,
- 25:54Speaker 1: what happened? So the day this picture was taken was
- 25:59Speaker 1: the day that we met Tornado, my son's service dog.
- 26:02Speaker 1: That was the first day of our training class. Um,
- 26:06Speaker 1: you know we live in Japan right now. Um, we're Americans,
- 26:09Speaker 1: but we live in Japan and we had been fundraising
- 26:12Speaker 1: for UM quite a long time to cover the costs
- 26:17Speaker 1: of training for Tornado and then also for our family,
- 26:20Speaker 1: our family of five traveling from Japan to Ohio to
- 26:25Speaker 1: the organization that trained Tornado for Kai. And there, there's
- 26:32Speaker 1: there's so why does Kai need a service dog? So?
- 26:36Speaker 1: Kai is autistic? UM. We when he when he was younger,
- 26:43Speaker 1: we noticed that there are some elements to UH having
- 26:48Speaker 1: an autistic child that can be really challenging. UH. And
- 26:53Speaker 1: as a parent, it's your responsibility to UM, you know,
- 26:58Speaker 1: help them live their most fulfilling life, give them the
- 27:01Speaker 1: most access to the world, support them and love them
- 27:05Speaker 1: in the best ways that you can. And Kai is
- 27:08Speaker 1: a dog person. I'm a dog person, UM. And he's
- 27:12Speaker 1: always where where he would find troubles socially with people
- 27:18Speaker 1: or find challenges with people. UH. Those those social interactions
- 27:23Speaker 1: didn't come really naturally to him. But he did always
- 27:26Speaker 1: gravitate to dogs. So my husband and I debated getting
- 27:30Speaker 1: him a pet dog. But we thought, well, if we're
- 27:32Speaker 1: going to get him a dog, let's let's get him,
- 27:35Speaker 1: you know, something something proper that can be with him.
- 27:38Speaker 1: If this is who he might make a connection to,
- 27:41Speaker 1: let's go for it. So we we we decided to
- 27:45Speaker 1: um fundraise and have uh Tornado raised for Kai UM.
- 27:51Speaker 1: So this the day of the picture that you see
- 27:54Speaker 1: is the first day that they met um. Towards the
- 27:57Speaker 1: end of the day, after we had traveled across the
- 28:01Speaker 1: entire globe through the continental US to get over to Ohio,
- 28:07Speaker 1: we met Tornado for the first time. Kai was really overwhelmed.
- 28:10Speaker 1: He I think we were all overwhelmed, along with other
- 28:13Speaker 1: families who were other recipient families who had received their
- 28:17Speaker 1: dogs that day and Kai my husband had to take
- 28:20Speaker 1: Kai back to where we were staying and give him
- 28:23Speaker 1: a break and kind of bring him, you know, in
- 28:25Speaker 1: and out, you know, as he could um manage himself.
- 28:30Speaker 1: And then this was sort of at the end of
- 28:31Speaker 1: the day, shortly before we were leaving, and out of nowhere,
- 28:34Speaker 1: Kai came out of the children's playroom, grabbed his iPad
- 28:38Speaker 1: and then just came in laid on Tornado and sorry,
- 28:43Speaker 1: I'm getting emotional. So it that moment where you see
- 28:49Speaker 1: me kind of crying is actually was really like like
- 28:52Speaker 1: an ugly cry. Um was sort of the moment that
- 28:59Speaker 1: UH too. Years of hope went into that moment. You know,
- 29:04Speaker 1: we we signed on to fundraise, we signed on to
- 29:09Speaker 1: to travel. We signed on for all of this hope
- 29:11Speaker 1: that Kai might connect with his service dog, and that
- 29:17Speaker 1: his service dog, Tornado would help be that bridge from
- 29:22Speaker 1: Kai to bring those connections to the rest of the world,
- 29:25Speaker 1: to help give him access to the rest of the world,
- 29:28Speaker 1: to help give my husband and I peace of mind
- 29:31Speaker 1: when when you know we live in Tokyo and and
- 29:34Speaker 1: it's exceptionally busy here, and the people, the crowds are
- 29:38Speaker 1: are out of this world, and that's overwhelming for anybody,
- 29:43Speaker 1: let alone you know, a child with sensory processing difference,
- 29:46Speaker 1: and he's already an American kid in Tokyo, and he
- 29:51Speaker 1: is autistic. To add onto it, I'm looking at this
- 29:55Speaker 1: photo and you say it was worth every fine, every diagnosis,
- 30:02Speaker 1: every dollar, every paper filled out, every school meeting, every
- 30:06Speaker 1: tier I shed, every step forward, every step back to
- 30:11Speaker 1: see what you're seeing right then, And it's you say,
- 30:15Speaker 1: the face of a mother who sees her child who
- 30:17Speaker 1: she cannot hug whilst dressed, snuggling touch freely because of
- 30:22Speaker 1: his autism, now laying on his service dog of your
- 30:28Speaker 1: child's own free will. And I've got that photo posted
- 30:35Speaker 1: on Crime Online dot Com. Jack Hannah with Me, Jane
- 30:39Speaker 1: villez Jory Nattelle, shawna Knee House. Jack, what is it
- 30:45Speaker 1: about the presence of animals? I mean not, you know,
- 30:49Speaker 1: hold on, Jack, Jane Bells Mitchell, You'll be happy. Now.
- 30:51Speaker 1: I've got six pets in the house right now, um
- 30:55Speaker 1: our rescue as I say, pound puppy. But I don't
- 30:58Speaker 1: think we're supposed to say that anymore. Asque dog that
- 31:01Speaker 1: they told me was the pure bred docks and well
- 31:04Speaker 1: that is so not true. But whatever is, we love him.
- 31:07Speaker 1: He's insane. Fat boy sent him and girl who is
- 31:10Speaker 1: the cat. My nephew and his wife and baby are
- 31:13Speaker 1: living with us right now. They have Precious and Beni
- 31:18Speaker 1: and then my daughter got obsessed with guinea pigs. Now
- 31:21Speaker 1: we have Abbey and Chloe who chase each other all
- 31:25Speaker 1: night long and weak and popcorn and the whole works.
- 31:28Speaker 1: So and she wants another one. I just want to
- 31:31Speaker 1: tell you that, Jack Kenna, what is this calming, this
- 31:34Speaker 1: calming influence that pets have. Even at night after we
- 31:40Speaker 1: have supper and we finished our homework and we're sitting
- 31:43Speaker 1: around watching something on Disney, they want to bring the
- 31:47Speaker 1: dog in to sit with them. What is that? I
- 31:51Speaker 1: just think the dogs are light enough to know about
- 31:55Speaker 1: what the what, what the temperament is, what what's going
- 31:57Speaker 1: on in night time? Me? These animals it and watch
- 32:00Speaker 1: and learn things. But one thing I want to mention
- 32:02Speaker 1: real quickly. I was listening to what Jane was saying
- 32:04Speaker 1: and the three things I talked to people I learned
- 32:06Speaker 1: my dad on the farm when I was five years old.
- 32:09Speaker 1: I want to get a little pair of keet, and
- 32:11Speaker 1: my dad said, Jack, let me, I know you love
- 32:13Speaker 1: this little pair of keet you saw in the store window. Y'all.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Do Dad remember something, Son? It's a word called responsibility.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Just like on this farm here, you're responsible for the
- 32:21Speaker 1: life of that animal. That means you will take care
- 32:23Speaker 1: of it every single day. You'll make sure it's had
- 32:26Speaker 1: a great life. You're not gonna have some a little
- 32:27Speaker 1: small cage and you're gonna take care of that animal. Jack.
- 32:30Speaker 1: But you know something after love loves something like you do,
- 32:33Speaker 1: you have a responsibility. When you have a pet, you
- 32:35Speaker 1: have the love for it, you have responsibility for it.
- 32:37Speaker 1: And you know something I figured out about years ago.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Guess what else it teaches? And they may think I'm
- 32:42Speaker 1: being more. But here it teaches death. For example, when
- 32:45Speaker 1: little pet died five years later, bid him middle cheerials
- 32:49Speaker 1: box the top of our hill. They're on the farm. Now,
- 32:52Speaker 1: that was my first one. The next time we had
- 32:54Speaker 1: a terrible thing and a little two little goats, and
- 32:56Speaker 1: my dad felt terrible when I'm hit underneath the car
- 32:58Speaker 1: and lost his light. Now after those two things, my
- 33:01Speaker 1: grandfather died two years later. Now, what I'm saying everybody
- 33:05Speaker 1: is for me to go through death of a grandparents
- 33:08Speaker 1: or our parents are both gone. You see how as
- 33:10Speaker 1: you get older what happens. And then you may think
- 33:12Speaker 1: I'm crazy when I'll use that word death, I don't.
- 33:14Speaker 1: I won't use it in front of children. But when
- 33:16Speaker 1: it teaches all of us, at least taught me, and
- 33:18Speaker 1: I know it teaches others that when you're an animal
- 33:21Speaker 1: like that, whether you're dog, a bird, whatever it might be. Uh,
- 33:24Speaker 1: it teaches those things you have to love that animal,
- 33:26Speaker 1: your responsibility for that animal for its life, and life
- 33:29Speaker 1: will end. But a lot of young people like myself
- 33:31Speaker 1: didn't understand. We all know this. I'm seventy now, and
- 33:34Speaker 1: you never think life is gonna end until you see
- 33:36Speaker 1: what I'm sure, Jane, myself and a lot of you
- 33:38Speaker 1: guys have. If you work with animals, you know what's
- 33:40Speaker 1: gonna happen eventually, but children don't understand it. You don't
- 33:43Speaker 1: sit there and talk to them about it, but they'll
- 33:45Speaker 1: be exposed to it. And they say, Corney on this
- 33:47Speaker 1: interview today. But those are the things I've lived by
- 33:50Speaker 1: when it comes to animals. You love them, you're responsible
- 33:53Speaker 1: for those animals, and then at that point you know
- 33:55Speaker 1: that they will come. But a lot of people don't
- 33:57Speaker 1: understand that they will come. And uh, that's why I
- 34:00Speaker 1: think the Emerald helps with as well. You know, Jack, Um,
- 34:03Speaker 1: another thing that I love about you and your whole team,
- 34:07Speaker 1: your beautiful family and wife. You live by the words
- 34:12Speaker 1: you preach. You don't say one thing and do another.
- 34:16Speaker 1: And you know at a time where every time I
- 34:18Speaker 1: go online or dare to turn on the knews, I
- 34:21Speaker 1: hear about one more famous person has done all allegedly
- 34:24Speaker 1: a horrible thing. And you know what, that's not true
- 34:29Speaker 1: about Jack, That is not true what he says he
- 34:34Speaker 1: lives by. And you know what's interesting, Um, You'll be
- 34:38Speaker 1: happy to know all four of you. Lucy first became
- 34:41Speaker 1: obsessed well John David got obsessed with dogs, hence Fat
- 34:43Speaker 1: Boy Street named Nitro and Um. Then Lucy was obsessed
- 34:50Speaker 1: with cats, and I'd sneak up on her on her
- 34:53Speaker 1: iPad to see what she was looking at, and it
- 34:55Speaker 1: would be cat videos. I mean, we all had to
- 34:58Speaker 1: watch them, one cat video after the next. Okay, so
- 35:02Speaker 1: that's how we got fat Boy in cinema. Then we
- 35:06Speaker 1: had cinema for about six months until the videos started
- 35:09Speaker 1: again about guinea pigs. Last night, I said, can I
- 35:13Speaker 1: have that awesome salad you're making? She says, Mom, this
- 35:17Speaker 1: is for the guineas. I mean, it's a full on salad.
- 35:20Speaker 1: It's carrots, it's red bell peppers, green bell peppers, romaine, lattice, cucumbers, zucchini,
- 35:28Speaker 1: the works. And she makes two full on human salads.
- 35:31Speaker 1: No wonder they poop all the time. I just pray,
- 35:35Speaker 1: I pray that she doesn't get into horses. Okay, I
- 35:39Speaker 1: just I just don't think I can take it. And
- 35:42Speaker 1: I know more guineas are on the way. Listen to
- 35:45Speaker 1: this story, guys. This woman dying in Boucher was woken
- 35:51Speaker 1: up from a deep sleep at four thirty in the
- 35:54Speaker 1: morning by Oreo, her cat the cat wouldn't stop screaming,
- 35:58Speaker 1: would not stop dreaming. She ran out to check on
- 36:01Speaker 1: the cat, and you know that sound when you hear
- 36:03Speaker 1: your cat or dog make a crazy, high pitched screamy sound.
- 36:07Speaker 1: She ran out and what she found were flames. And
- 36:13Speaker 1: if it had not been for her cat waking her up,
- 36:18Speaker 1: you know, she would be dead and her home destroyed.
- 36:22Speaker 1: There are stories like David CC fourteen years old, couldn't swim,
- 36:28Speaker 1: fell out of his dad's boat, and within minutes a
- 36:33Speaker 1: dolphin called Filippo had come to the tourist attraction and
- 36:38Speaker 1: saved the boy's life, pushing him up out of the
- 36:42Speaker 1: water to safety. I mean a dog. Brenda Owen gone
- 36:47Speaker 1: out for a walk with her dog. She spotted a
- 36:49Speaker 1: wheelchair on a river bank, sees a woman in the water.
- 36:54Speaker 1: She called out. The woman didn't answer. She said to
- 36:57Speaker 1: the dog, fetch. The dog jumped straight in that cold
- 37:00Speaker 1: ever water and pull the woman to shore. I mean.
- 37:03Speaker 1: It goes on a two year old child in Texas
- 37:07Speaker 1: walking with his grandmother when Arf, the family's dog, got
- 37:11Speaker 1: very agitated so badly the dog thought. I mean, the
- 37:15Speaker 1: grandmother thought, I better take the child inside. The dog's
- 37:17Speaker 1: going crazy. The child's mother came out to find arf
- 37:21Speaker 1: in a fight with a twenty four in North American
- 37:25Speaker 1: coral snake and Jack hannay, you can tell us about
- 37:29Speaker 1: coral snakes. Go ahead, Yeah, well, it is a snake
- 37:33Speaker 1: obviously that can be fatal. It's not a matter of
- 37:35Speaker 1: a like a rattlesnake. You know, people say aboutrattlesnakes all
- 37:38Speaker 1: time with the good Lord made a rattlesneak, because snake
- 37:41Speaker 1: will rattle. See step on it, and people say, oh
- 37:43Speaker 1: my god, it's a rattlesnake. Will be very happy. It's
- 37:45Speaker 1: a rattlesnake. Coral snake looks like some other kinds of steak,
- 37:48Speaker 1: king sneake, things like that. But that's a newer toxic
- 37:52Speaker 1: and he must thought he would toxic because you know,
- 37:53Speaker 1: is a rattlesnake. Those kind of snakes were it's just
- 37:56Speaker 1: a very painful bite and also just rots. But when
- 37:59Speaker 1: you come to coral snake, which is pretty rare, the
- 38:01Speaker 1: animal has to basically chew, but he doesn't have the
- 38:04Speaker 1: things and that goes that's a not hemantie. It's newer toxic.
- 38:07Speaker 1: When he means he goes to the brain and you
- 38:08Speaker 1: go to sleep basically, and I'm sorry to say you
- 38:11Speaker 1: might just sleep for rather forever. So people get mixed
- 38:14Speaker 1: up on snakes. I've filmed snakes all over the world.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Um uh my people always ask me the question, oh
- 38:19Speaker 1: my gosh, Jack, have you been betten? You know I
- 38:21Speaker 1: don't like that question because this Jane will agree if
- 38:24Speaker 1: I'm betten or something. My animal usually usually most of
- 38:26Speaker 1: the time, it's my fault. It's not the animal's fault.
- 38:29Speaker 1: When we film out there for thirty years, I made
- 38:31Speaker 1: it clear as thirty years ago you respect. It's called
- 38:34Speaker 1: respect for your animals home. Its respect for the elephants,
- 38:37Speaker 1: the lions. Some film crews love to go in there
- 38:39Speaker 1: and push it to where the dawn gum thing attacks
- 38:41Speaker 1: the jeep and throws it over and some guys get bitten.
- 38:43Speaker 1: You know. The reality TV. I'm not a big fan
- 38:45Speaker 1: of it because they doesn't teach the young people how
- 38:48Speaker 1: to go to Africa or India or the North post
- 38:50Speaker 1: health Pole wherever I go. Uh we were we filmed
- 38:53Speaker 1: with respect. Okay, maybe you don't get the best film
- 38:55Speaker 1: of something attacking and blood flying every which way. That's
- 38:58Speaker 1: their home, not my m and we always feel with
- 39:01Speaker 1: respect to these animals, and we've always done it, and
- 39:03Speaker 1: the god our crew has been together for twenty three
- 39:05Speaker 1: years and we all work as a team as a family,
- 39:07Speaker 1: and we look at those wild animals, your animal home.
- 39:11Speaker 1: You know, you you respect your animals home. You don't
- 39:13Speaker 1: sit down and take a dog. And my dad taught
- 39:15Speaker 1: me that you you put food there, and he's saying,
- 39:17Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you have a two year
- 39:18Speaker 1: older somebody visit you and they go and grab the
- 39:20Speaker 1: food out of dog bowl. And Jane will tell you
- 39:23Speaker 1: that could be a fatal bite, a fatal bite, that
- 39:25Speaker 1: could be a chambal bite. So chids have to learn
- 39:28Speaker 1: about animals. And I know I'm jumping around a lot.
- 39:30Speaker 1: I did us gentm me on the farm have a
- 39:32Speaker 1: T N T or a D T A D I
- 39:34Speaker 1: don't know what the hell heck I have my j W.
- 39:36Speaker 1: I can't remember a D H T and T I
- 39:38Speaker 1: call okay whatever it is. Anyway, I jump around a lot,
- 39:42Speaker 1: but I just I'm trying to explain things about animals
- 39:44Speaker 1: that need Some dogs have never even been anybody. But
- 39:47Speaker 1: you can't go up to a dog and grab the
- 39:48Speaker 1: food of a pot, you know, I learned all these
- 39:51Speaker 1: things on the farm and how to how to respect
- 39:52Speaker 1: the animal world. And that's what I try to do
- 39:54Speaker 1: when I film and when I talk about the animals,
- 39:57Speaker 1: you know, and to a coming to Columbus a logical park.
- 39:59Speaker 1: I think Jane knows ninety percent of our animals today,
- 40:01Speaker 1: ninety percent come from other zoos. I can go click
- 40:04Speaker 1: if I need a sperm or an egg or something
- 40:06Speaker 1: like that, because I think we really are the arts
- 40:08Speaker 1: of the world. We weren't that. We were not that
- 40:11Speaker 1: by the way years ago, but today um millions, tens
- 40:15Speaker 1: of millions of dollars are spent on to make sure
- 40:17Speaker 1: these animals have habitats. Uh, there's some other best in
- 40:20Speaker 1: the world. And if you can't touch the heart to
- 40:22Speaker 1: keep some out of these people about your dogs or
- 40:24Speaker 1: cats or some of these animals and none of them.
- 40:27Speaker 1: When I do my speeches to two or three thousand
- 40:28Speaker 1: people in these theaters, asked the audience, how many have
- 40:31Speaker 1: you ever seen a elephant in Africa? No hands? How
- 40:34Speaker 1: many you have ever seen a killer? Well, no hands?
- 40:36Speaker 1: How many have you seen? I could go through a
- 40:38Speaker 1: list of five thousand animals, and usually sometimes I'll say
- 40:41Speaker 1: a dolphin you'll get some hands up. So what I'm
- 40:43Speaker 1: trying to say is in the logical world, in the
- 40:45Speaker 1: aquarium world, having these animals now that we know how
- 40:48Speaker 1: to breed them and have them and have the proper habitats,
- 40:51Speaker 1: and then I'll agree with people way back when they
- 40:54Speaker 1: weren't good habitats. But now today we do that because
- 40:56Speaker 1: we have to let people see for themselves why they
- 41:00Speaker 1: with a little love animal to save an animal. You
- 41:02Speaker 1: can't love something, you can't save something in the world
- 41:05Speaker 1: that my wife hates this term. But I'll say it
- 41:07Speaker 1: real quick. I have kids and grandkids, but I'll tell
- 41:09Speaker 1: you one thing is I traveled the world. The main
- 41:11Speaker 1: thing we have. Everybody, you can do global warming for
- 41:13Speaker 1: everything you want to. It's called over population. I think
- 41:16Speaker 1: Jane knows it is probably overpopulation takes animals room. It's that.
- 41:20Speaker 1: It's that simple and it's not rocket science. Everybody, we
- 41:23Speaker 1: can sit here and debate on global warming, to debate
- 41:25Speaker 1: all you want to, water and all this stuff causing this.
- 41:29Speaker 1: The Good Lord put the earth here. He told us
- 41:31Speaker 1: to do with what propetator prey relationship on our earth. Obviously,
- 41:34Speaker 1: with soy people, it's been frewed up. So that's why
- 41:37Speaker 1: we have to sit here and and uh at least
- 41:39Speaker 1: teach people something about other animals throughout the world, you know,
- 41:42Speaker 1: and that kind of thing, and hopefully people learn from
- 41:44Speaker 1: their dogs and cats. Um. Without the animal world, none
- 41:47Speaker 1: of us would be here in many different ways. But
- 41:49Speaker 1: the animal worlds taught me a lot, by the way,
- 41:50Speaker 1: when I go out there and study the gorillas, or
- 41:52Speaker 1: watched them for over all these years. And the lions,
- 41:55Speaker 1: which are you know, a little social animal, not like
- 41:57Speaker 1: the solitary cats most of the spotty where you see
- 41:59Speaker 1: the the snakes for example. You know, these are all
- 42:01Speaker 1: creatures on earth. And then if you go out and
- 42:03Speaker 1: learn about him and see them, then you respect them,
- 42:05Speaker 1: you know, Jane, what you were saying earlier about it's
- 42:08Speaker 1: not just cats and dogs. On a hot August August
- 42:12Speaker 1: day at Brookfield Zoo, a three year old boy falls
- 42:15Speaker 1: into a guerrilla enclosure and actually gets knocked out. A
- 42:20Speaker 1: female Lowland gorilla benty Jew, guarded the boy from all
- 42:27Speaker 1: the other gorillas. Then she picks the baby boy up
- 42:31Speaker 1: in her arms like a human would hold a baby.
- 42:34Speaker 1: She's got her own seventeen month old baby on her back,
- 42:38Speaker 1: and she carries the human baby sixty ft to an
- 42:42Speaker 1: entrance and hands the baby to the human zookeepers. I mean, Jane,
- 42:49Speaker 1: why don't people understand that animals are extremely intelligent? Well,
- 42:54Speaker 1: because they can't speak English, and this is why some
- 42:58Speaker 1: people have here from lust Angelis. You'll probably chuckle. But
- 43:02Speaker 1: one of the things that some of the animal rights
- 43:04Speaker 1: activists are doing is taking a vowed silence for a
- 43:06Speaker 1: couple of hours every day to communicate non verbally so
- 43:09Speaker 1: that they can understand what it's like to be an animal.
- 43:13Speaker 1: And so you know, animals exhibit unconditional love. They are
- 43:18Speaker 1: highly intelligent. They have all the emotions that humans have.
- 43:22Speaker 1: They experienced terror, they experience loneliness, they experienced longing, They
- 43:27Speaker 1: they have all the whole range of emotions. I mean,
- 43:31Speaker 1: my gosh, my four little rescues here at home. Uh
- 43:34Speaker 1: they we've got a reality show going on right here
- 43:37Speaker 1: with Tabos and Lucas, Foxy and Uh Foxy from Fresno
- 43:41Speaker 1: rescued from the streets of Fresno, Little Rico rescued from
- 43:44Speaker 1: the streets of Porto Rico. And Tucks the Cat rescued
- 43:47Speaker 1: from Queens, New York. Want you to tell me Jane
- 43:50Speaker 1: the Les Mitchell from your Encyclopedia Mind about Animals an
- 43:54Speaker 1: animal hero story. Yes, well, you know we've had fires
- 43:59Speaker 1: here in Californ born yet, and of course we urge
- 44:02Speaker 1: everyone take your companion animals with you if there's any
- 44:06Speaker 1: kind of danger, because you never know when you're going
- 44:08Speaker 1: to get back. Well, there was a family in Sonoma
- 44:10Speaker 1: County just recently that had to evacuate. They woke up,
- 44:14Speaker 1: they saw the flames encroaching. They grabbed their daughter, they
- 44:17Speaker 1: grabbed their eight dogs and cats, but one dog refused
- 44:21Speaker 1: to leave. Why because they had eight rescue goats as well,
- 44:25Speaker 1: and the rescue goats couldn't be evacuated. They did not
- 44:28Speaker 1: have the trailers to take the goats away. The dog,
- 44:32Speaker 1: Odin refused to leave the goats. They left. The family left,
- 44:35Speaker 1: leaving the dog behind because he refused to leave. Their
- 44:38Speaker 1: house was totally destroyed. They came back several days later
- 44:42Speaker 1: and Odin had saved the eight rescue goats as well
- 44:46Speaker 1: as a baby deer who had joined fleeing the flames.
- 44:50Speaker 1: And he was singed and he was limping, but he
- 44:52Speaker 1: saw it upon himself as his responsibility to hurd and
- 44:56Speaker 1: save those goats with me today. Jane the as Mitchell,
