DIE sogenaamde tolhekhond wat glo al by-kans twee jaar lank vir sy eienaar by die tolhek tussen die Wes- en Oos-Kaap wag, is nou onder die toesig van die Dierebeskermings-vereniging (DBV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melanie Botha, leerlinginspekteur van die DBV op Humansdorp, s\u00ea die hond is nou in hul versorging en gereed vir aanneming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie hond is deur \u2019n baie moeilike tyd en benodig nou \u2019n veilige en liefdevolle huis waar hy baie aandag sal kry,\u201d s\u00ea Botha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die \u201ctolhekhond\u201d, soos na die swart-en- bruinkleurige hond verwys word, is glo twee jaar gelede deur sy eienaar agtergelaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronald Cunningham, \u2019n werknemer by di\u00e9 tolhek op die N2, s\u00ea die hond se naam is Jam en sy eienaar het voorheen by die tolhek gewerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Cunningham het Jam se eienaar van die dorp Covie, naby die tolhek, na Mosselbaai verhuis sonder om Jam saam te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedertdien het Jam bykans elke dag die tolhek besoek, skynbaar om op sy eienaar te wag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motoriste en Cunningham het Jam deurgaans kos gegee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die DBV het onlangs ingegryp nadat hulle bewus gemaak is van knoppe wat aan Jam se lyf gesien word en vrese vir sy veiligheid langs die besige N2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie re\u00eblings is getref om \u2019n vanghok vir die ietwat menssku Jam by die tolhek op te stel, maar dit was oplaas Cunningham wat Jam se vertroue gewen het en hom gevang het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Botha het Jam Vrydag gaan haal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saterdag het Jam \u2019n afspraak by die veearts gehad om die knoppe aan sy lyf te ondersoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die ondersoek het die veearts \u2019n geruis op Jam se hart gehoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n soort hartprobleem. Hy is nie in gevaar nie, dit beteken net sy gewig sal dopgehou moet word, anders kan sy hart skade ly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jam sal weens die hartprobleem ook nie narkose kan kry nie en dus nie gesteriliseer word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is een van die faktore wat Jam se voornemende eienaar in gedagte moet hou,\u201d waarsku Botha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die groeisels aan Jam se regter- en linkersy blyk ook onskadelik te wees. Botha s\u00ea die veearts sal eers later die week presies kan s\u00ea wat die groeisels is, nadat hy monsters van die groeisels onder \u2019n mikroskoop ondersoek het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHonde kry soms groeisels van ouderdom, wat onskadelik is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die veearts het Jam ouer as 11 jaar geskat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie hond was baie verwaarloos en skrikkerig toe ons hom by die hokke aanbring, maar die volgende dag was hy klaar minder teruggetrokke.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel Jam nou gereed is om \u2019n nuwe huis te kry, meen Botha dat Jam baie aandag van sy nuwe eienaars sal nodig h\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy gaan \u2019n rukkie neem om mense te vertrou en dit is belangrik dat hy baie aandag kry<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cN\u00e1 alles wat die hond beleef het, verdien hy om nou in \u2019n liefdevolle huis te wees.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DIE sogenaamde tolhekhond wat glo al by-kans twee jaar lank vir sy eienaar by die tolhek tussen die Wes- en Oos-Kaap
