Terrier’s bravery gr-rrr-eat

Dog wins
award for
saving boy
from cougar

By BARBARA TANDORY
Special to The News

A small, shaggy farm dog,
making his first appearance at
a dog show this weekend in
Castlegar has managed to stay
out of competitions but not out
of the limelight.

For Ghillie, a five-year-old
Irish terrier, this was a guest
appearance — to receive an
award for bravery for fearlessly
standing up to a hungry,
prowling cougar on his owners’
family farm in Glade last Jan-
uary. :

Ghiltie’s heroic attack saved
the life of 10-year-old Aaron
Retzlaff.

In a special presentation at
the West Kootenay Kennel
Club’s dog show Saturday
afternoon, the Retzlaff family
dog received an award of valor
from the Irish Terrier Associa-
tion of Canada.

Dick Lopaschuk, director of
the Canadian Kennel Club for
B.C. and Yukon; said Ghillie’s
“act of courage” on Jan. 1 “was
very real and nearly cost him
his life.”

Lopaschuk, who travelled
from Cranbrook to make the
presentation, commended the
dog for “his bold and gritty
headlong dash, literally into
the jaws of death.”

The official also conveyed
thanks on behalf of the terrier
association to Aaron and Deb-
bie Girard, neighbors sum-
moned by Aaron, both of whom,
in turn, saved the dog’s life.

The near-tragic incident

occurred on Aaron’s return
from school with both his par-
ents away. His father, Rod Ret-
zlaff, was at work at Selkirk
College in Castlegar, where
he’s a maintenance employee.
Aaron’s mother, Carol, was
also at the college campus,
attending classes.
+ Aaron was walking home,
with Ghillie at his side, when
he found the path to the house
blocked by a cougar baring
itsteeth in an angry growl.

“I sort of stopped,” Aaron

recalled in an interview before
the ceremony.

Ghillie didn’ t. The dog
lunged himself at the cougar in
the yard, allowing the boy to
escape.

“Then I ran around the
hedge to the house, got some
ski poles, went back outside
and started chucking ski poles
and snowballs at the cougar.

Aaron said the cougar sures Kad
its mouth “around the dog’s

head and stiH wouldn't let go.” ~

The boy decided to run to the
neighbors’ house for help.

Only the day before, a
cougar, perhaps the same one,
had eaten a neighbor’s dog.

“Aaron behaved very brave-
ly,” said Carol Retzlaff who

returned home to find her son
safe but the dog severely

» injured.

“His skull was crushed to
the extent that the brain was
exposed,” she said, noting that
the veterinarian attending to
Ghillie didn’t think the dog
would survive.

The dog’s eye was literally
“handing down his cheek,” she
said, and he has lost sight in
the.bne eye as a result.

“But even so, he got up and
went at the cougar again,” Car-
ol Retzlaff said.

The dog’s injuries have
healed and his scars from the
confrontation are barely visi-
ble.

At the dog show ceremony,

bravery award for their dog, Ghillie, who saved Aaron Retzlaff (holding nile)

Ghillie was playing it cool, both
in regard to fellow canines tak-
ing part in the competition and
the crowd of owners, handlers
and judges overrunning the
soccer field of the Community
Complex,

Ghillie kept to the sidelines,
indifferent to the noisy scene
and the heat of summer.

“He’s (still) a farm dog,”
Carol Retzlaff said. “He doesn’t
even get haircuts. But he’s now
more part of the family.”

Ghillie is a registered Irish
Terrier, bred in Salmon Arm.

The Retzlaffs said cougar
attacks are very rare in the
rural area, about as infrequent
as bear attacks.

Good breeding is everything in this
