The famous Japanese dog copper statues, in addition to the eight-drt at Shibuya Station, are the three-legged German shepherd Sapp outside Nagoya Station. Sapp was a guide dog, a snowing night in 1982, who, in order to protect his master from a slider, threw the steering saddle in front of his master, causing serious injury to his left front leg and had to be removed, but with only three legs left, he was eager to work with the guide.
Sapp, a female German shepherd, was born in 1977 at the Association of Central Blind Dogs in Nagoya and later became the guide dog of the blind tortoise Dowler, leading the owner to work in the blind massage centre every day. On the night of 25 January 1982, Sapp came home with a turtle-dower who had to undergo an emergency amputation due to serious injuries to his left front leg, although he was only slightly injured, when a car suddenly slipped on the 156th road, when he was walking along the road in Kanzhou.
Sapp had only three legs left, but the desire to guide the master had never diminished.
Everyone wondered why Sapp was so badly injured, after all, but after knowing why, everyone was surprised and moved. Turns out that on that day the Tortoise Dow pulled the blind saddle, and when it happened Sapp broke out and hit him on the side of the road. The police later investigated and found that Wang had stormed the uncontrollable car and tried to block it in front of the owner, causing serious injury to the dog and no harm to the person.
After the accident, Sapp left the guide dog ' s job, but when the Tortoyama couple visited the guide dog centre, he jumped with three legs to the master ' s side, and finally saw the master leaving, and then he jumped in the car and wanted to come home with him. Later on, Tortoyama Dow and Sapp attended the event, where they were held in a guided blind saddle as before, while the three legs were inconvenient, Wang was still trying to guide the master. Saap, 11 years old, died in 1988 at an old age, sleeping in the animal mausoleum of the Prefect of Nagoya.
Now, the kids will be at the Sapbai pier.
According to the Sunshine News, he is now 72 years old, living in a county-listed sanatorium, and although he cannot see, he still has a picture of Sapp in his room, which for him is the best dog.
After this incident, Japan became the first country in which a guide dog was insured for damages in an accident. In 1986, the copper statue of Sansap was unveiled in front of the Nagoya station, with a sign of its bravery, which was later moved to Jiahu Grande Park, near the station. In addition, Sapp is also visible in the city of Nagoya at the Integrated Training Centre for Guided Blind Dogs and at the Centre for Health and Well-being, which is located in the county of Luang County.
