Izindaba zobungani phakathi kwezilwane zezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zihlala zigqamile. Lokhu kunjalo nge-labrador Ben, wafa eminyakeni embalwa edlule, nehlengethwa labesifazane duggie, ababehlangana nsuku zonke ethekwini le-Island of Tory (Ireland) ukubhukuda nokudlala ndawonye. Inyunyana yabo yayiqine kakhulu kangangokuba yathathwa yimithombo yezindaba eminingi yamazwe omhlaba, namuhla eqhubeka nokunanela le ndaba emnandi.
Lapho iqembu kusuka Isiteshi sethelevishini saseBrithani i-BBC Ukwazile ukufakazela nokuqopha imidlalo phakathi kwalezi zilwane ezimbili, abantu bendawo baqinisekise ukuthi bekuwumbukwane wansuku zonke. Ngokusho kwabo, lobu bungani obuyingqayizivele baqala ngonyaka we-2006 futhi kusukela lapho, bebuqinisile futhi bavusa ilukuluku lezakhamizi zakulesi siqhingi kanye nezivakashi.
UBen noDuggie babehlangana nsuku zonke ethekwini, lapho babhukuda ndawonye benza imidlalo yabo. Kwesinye isikhathi inja yayijaha ukunyakaza komngani wayo wasemanzini ngenkathi inyakazisa umsila wayo, ngenkathi yona imjikijela ngamanzi. Ofakazi baqinisekisa ukuthi ihlengethwa lagxuma lenza ama-pirouette, lijabulela ukubakhona kwenja nabantu ababekhona lapho.
Njengoba umnikazi kaBen echaza, Pat doohan, laba bangani ababili babengajabula ndawonye amahora amathathu, futhi bathola nama-collies ambalwa ukuze babambe iqhaza kule midlalo. Bobabili babejwayele ukubhukuda noBen noDuggie, bekhombisa ukuhlangana okuqinile.
ILabrador ejabule kubonakala sengathi ibuyisele uDuggie amandla ayephulukene nawo ngemuva kokushona kukazakwabo, njengoba abantu bendawo bathi baqala ukumthola kule ndawo ngo-2006, ebhukuda eduzane nehlengethwa eliduna elingasekho. Bakholelwa ukuthi lesi yisizathu esenza ukuthi ihlale kulawo manzi, noma ngabe ishiya izinkathi ezithile zonyaka, kodwa igcina njalo ibuya.
Asikutholi neze ulwazi enetheni mayelana nendaba kaDuggie ngemuva kokulahlekelwa ngumngani wakhe omkhulu, kepha konke kukhombisa ukuthi ube ngomunye wabahlali esiQhingini saseTory. Ubudlelwano bakhe noBen bukhona inkomba ebalulekile yobungani emhlabeni wezilwane, kanye nesibonelo sokubekezelelana nenhlonipho phakathi kwamazwe amabili ahluke ngokuphelele. Singajabulela ifa lakhe ngenxa yamavidiyo afana nalawa alandelayo, atholakala ku-YouTube.
