A dog recognized for his tender and noble heart, he saved the life of a little parrot and decides to become his older brother to take care of him.
A beautiful and kind dog named Hiro has always been known for being a good boy, and recently he showed how noble he is and his big heart. While Hiro and his mother, Viviana Dávila, were rested and spending some time relaxing in the backyard of their home in Puerto Rico, something unexpected happened.
Hiro, was attracted by a strange object that was next to the fence of the patio, so he got up to go investigate.
When the dog approached, he immediately knew that he had found something, or rather someone, and he wanted Viviana to know.

Viviana told The Dodo :
I noticed Hiro licking something on the grass. Hiro licked this thing and looked at me, and insisted again licking it and looking at me. That gave me the signal that something was happening and I approached Hiro.
When Viviana got closer, she realized that the dog had found an injured parrot, which was in dire need of help.

Viviana said:
I instantly found a towel and picked it up. He was very helpless.
Clearly, the dog saved the parrot thanks to his love instinct; He had managed to find the little bird and save his life, but he would do more than that. After taking the bird to the vet, Viviana learned that the little one was paraplegic, perhaps because he had fallen from his nest.

Which meant, the little parrot had very little chance of surviving alone in the wild, and someone had to take care of him. Also, if Hiro hadn’t found it in time, he probably would have lost his life on the ground or been eaten by another animal.
But, the parrot seemed to have other plans; With his attitude he showed that he was a fighter and wanted to do everything possible to live.

For this particular reason, Viviana named him Hope, and she also decided that he would be part of her family and would take good care of him.
Viviana said:
“The vet told us that in similar cases he recommends clients to put them to sleep. Yet he was surprised to see how Hope was struggling to live.
Following the vet’s instructions, Viviana has been feeding Hope regularly, and doing her best to keep him safe and comfortable.

It’s been a week and a half, and he’s much better. Hiro has been part of that effort. From day one he has not been far from Hope.
Slowly, Hope gets used to her new home and her body grows stronger every day, and Hiro works to make sure her heart heals, too.
Wherever Hope goes, Hiro is there, too, keeping watch; no doubt, a beautiful friendship has been born.

According to Viviana, Hiro doesn’t care anymore and he has a new purpose in his life, and that is to take care of Hope full time.
Viviana said:
“Having Hope and caring for him so far has been a great experience. He teaches us every day about perseverance, Hiro teaches us about empathy and being a good living creature.
Thanks to Hiro’s kindness, Hope not only lived, but also has a forever loving home and family.
Hiro’s family has always been very happy to have one of the noblest dogs among them, and they admire how good he is.
