Berita Buta, Anjing Senior Menyelamatkan Relawan Tempat Berlindung dari Ular Berbisa yang Mematikan: 'Pahlawan'

Seekor anjing penampungan senior dijuluki “pahlawan” setelah menyelamatkan seorang sukarelawan dari pertemuan yang berpotensi berbahaya dengan ular. Prestasi luar biasa ini bahkan lebih luar biasa lagi karena penyelamat yang dimaksud sebenarnya adalah orang buta.

Dan Fishbein sedang berjalan bersama Moogan, seekor anjing senior yang menjadi buta akibat kondisi langka. Saat mereka berjalan di jalan berpasir di sekitar Suaka Hewan Sahabat Terbaik di Utah, Fishbein mengarahkan Moogan menjauh dari rintangan seperti biasa.

“Dia sangat penasaran, masih mencium bunga, merasakan sekelilingnya,” kata Fishbein. “Saya selalu waspada untuk memastikan dia tidak melakukan apa pun.”

Tapi yang tidak diperhatikan Fishbein adalah seekor ular derik, tergeletak tepat di jalan setapak yang dilaluinya. Tiba-tiba, Moogan berputar tajam, menarik perhatian Fishbein ke bawah—langsung ke ular yang hendak diinjaknya.

“Moogan berbelok ke kanan, jadi saya melihat ke bawah, dan itu dia,” kata Fishbein. “Seekor ular berbisa, melingkar tepat di sebelah kakiku. Dengan lembut aku menariknya menjauh, berterima kasih padanya. Siapa sangka temanku yang buta akan menjadi orang yang menyelamatkanku?”

Ular derik adalah bagian penting dari satwa liar di Utah, dengan lima spesies ular derik di negara bagian tersebut. Mereka sering ditemukan bersembunyi di bawah batu dan di tempat di mana mereka bisa berburu mangsa seperti hewan pengerat.

Meskipun gigitan ular derik berbisa dan berpotensi berbahaya, angka kematian relatif rendah, terutama jika perhatian medis segera diterima setelah gigitan.

Sebelumnya merupakan anak anjing yang besar dan suka bermain, Moogan menyukai ruang terbuka lebar dan berlarian menjelajah. Namun setahun setelah tiba di Best Friends Animal Society, dia mulai kehilangan penglihatannya, sesuatu yang memperlambatnya.

Moogan didiagnosis menderita degenerasi retinal mendadak (SARD), suatu kondisi langka dan misterius yang belum ada pengobatan atau obatnya. Perawatan dokter hewan memperlambat degenerasi tersebut, namun Moogan akhirnya kehilangan hampir seluruh penglihatannya.

“Dia hampir buta total, namun dia menavigasi dunianya dengan semangat yang benar-benar menginspirasi,” kata Ben O'Riordan-Tingley, pengasuh lama Moogan. “Dia punya naluri untuk bersenang-senang—mencintai mainannya, mencintai orang-orang. Dan sekarang, sepertinya, dia juga punya kecenderungan untuk menghadapi bahaya.”

Setelah pertemuan dekat dengan ular, Moogan diberi banyak suguhan dan pelukan. Meskipun petualangannya lebih santai akhir-akhir ini, Moogan tetap mengikuti jejaknya, mengendus kejutan apa pun bersama teman-teman manusianya.

“Saya membawa banyak anjing keluar, dan Moogan selalu istimewa, tapi setelah itu? Dia benar-benar berbeda. Saya pikir dia adalah malaikat pelindung saya,” kata Fishbein.
