Shining World Loving and Hero Awards: Dave the Daddy Dog and Dotty the Daring Donkey
|
|

|
|
Everywhere in the world,
we can observe
and be touched
by acts of kindness.
People from all walks of
life, faiths, and cultures
extend themselves
beyond the call of duty
to help others
unconditionally.
Through their noble deeds,
humanity as a whole
is elevated.
To commend
virtuous actions and
encourage more people
to be inspired
by their examples,
Supreme Master
Ching Hai
has lovingly created
a series of awards,
including the Shining
World Leadership
Award, Shining World
Compassion Award,
Shining World Hero and
Heroine Awards, Shining
World Honesty Award,
Shining World Protection
Award, Shining World
Intelligence Award,
and Shining World
Inventor Award,
to recognize some
of the most exemplary,
generous, caring,
and courageous people
who walk amongst us.
Today we’ll meet
two incredible animals,
who have shown
exceptional kindness
and selfless devotion
to other animals in need.
Who could ever forget
Dave the Rottweiler,
the foster dad of
the dog world, whom
we met previously
on Supreme Master
Television?
Dave is renowned for
taking care of
neglected and homeless
baby animals from
a range of species.
In an online contest
with 6,000 dog and cat
entrants and over
265,000 votes cast,
Dave was chosen as
Britain’s most
inspirational dog!
It’s changed a lot of
people’s perspective
on Rottweilers,
to be honest.
This is just
not a vicious dog.
They’re not bred
to be vicious.
And this just proves,
if the right people get them,
how soft they can be,
slobbery but soft.
Seven-year-old Dave
lives with his caregiver
Ms. Amanda Collins
in Blackpool, UK, and
whenever Amanda
brings home
a rescued animal friend,
Dave can’t wait to
extend his tender,
loving attention
to the newcomer.
He’s a mommy.
So far I think,
off the top of my head,
he’s helped
two whippet puppies
who were abandoned.
And, there’s been
about 10 cats.
There’s been
a lot of rabbits.
There’s been
the two chickens.
I think
there’s been three ducks.
There’s been a goose,
a turkey.
And here
he’s helped me with
every single one of them.
They’ve all had something
that I’ve struggled with
and he’s always been there.
Perhaps
it’s his parental instincts,
or the call of his heart,
Dave never hesitates to
give a helping paw,
so to speak,
to those in need.
He's got another dog,
a young Afghan.
And he's got some more
baby bunnies.
And he loves them.
And he's away
to check on them now,
just making sure
they're safe.
Dave, come on.
Dave, come here. (Dave.)
Through his compassion
and patience, Dave has
helped save the lives of
many rescued animals
so that they can move on
to forever, cozy homes
where they receive
the affection they deserve.
He's seen how we treated
him when he was a baby,
when we got him and
he was in a lot of,
discomfort
and everything.
We looked after him.
I think now
he's just getting it; this is
his way of saying thanks.
And he's looking after
everyone else,
making them feel
a little bit better.
For his noble heart,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
honored Dave
with the Shining World
Loving Award
and £1,500
for extra veg snacks,
beds and a doggie jacket.
Dave was also given
a selection of
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s
DVDs and books,
including the #1
international best-sellers,
“The Birds in My Life,”
“The Dogs in My Life,”
and “The Noble Wilds.”
Our Association
members presented
the beautiful crystal
Award plaque and read
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s
tender words
of appreciation to Dave.
The following is
an excerpt from the letter:
Dear Dave:
It's with much admiration
and gratitude that
we present to you
the “Shining World
Loving Award.”
This Award is presented
in recognition of your
warm and loving heart
and gallant generosity,
which extends to
all creatures that have
the good fortune
to be with you.
Your nurturing instinct
for other animals was
first made apparent when
Amanda brought home
a French giant Rabbit.
You lovingly cleaned
the rabbit with
your tongue, slept with it
to keep it company and
shared your food with
your new friend, which
you continue to do.
You have welcomed
every other animal
to share your home
with the same loving
and generous spirit,
showering your affection
on many ducks, geese,
rabbits, kittens, puppies,
and untold newborn
chicks.
Thank you, Dave,
for being the special dog
you are and
an outstanding example
of divine love.
Wishing you all the best
under Heaven's grace
both now
and forever more!
With Best Wishes and
all My Love,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
Thank you.
We'd like to thank
Supreme Master Ching Hai
for recognizing
what Dave does.
And thanks, well just
thanks for Dave, for
being such a good dog,
really, and showing what
they can do. Isn't it?
Are you a good boy?
And I think Dave’s
very happy as well.
Thank you for
all of his goodies.
He absolutely loves
his bed and his jacket
and his scarf.
And I'm sure he'll have
a lot of fun spending
this money on his,
all his food and his toys.
And what else
will we get you?
We may even get him
some hydrotherapy
swimming lessons 'cause
he likes that as well.
And it's good for his,
(Brilliant) his legs.
And the trophy Dave,
what do you think of this?
He loves this.
So we'll say thank you
very much
for the trophy as well.
Next we’ll meet
the extraordinary
Dotty the donkey,
who saved the life of
her friend,
Stanley the sheep.
Dotty is also
the first-ever recipient
of an award from
the UK-based charity
The People's
Dispensary for
Sick Animals (PDSA)
for her bravery.
It amazed me
what she did, because she
just gets on with her life
and, yes, goes in the field
with her friends and
you wouldn’t think
she’d do anything
like that at all.
It was
a Saturday afternoon
when Ann Rogers,
Dotty’s caregiver,
returned from
a shopping trip and
noticed a sheep named
Stanley, who lives
on her farm,
being bullied
by an aggressive dog.
Then,
to Ann’s great surprise,
she saw Dotty, who was
grazing serenely nearby,
run quickly to
her friend’s rescue.
And Dotty was
in the field with him,
because
they lived together.
And she was charging
after him, and she
jumped off a little bank
with which you could
only describe as a cry of
rage, and
pinned it to the ground,
until the dog let go
of the sheep.
And then she stood there
while we went to
the sheep’s aid.
I think it’s incredibly
brave of her.
She saved his life.
Obviously, she made
a conscious decision to
go and save a friend,
that was in trouble.
It just shows that
they’re far more than
we think they are.
They’re far more than
just animals, they’ve got
a high consciousness,
they’re obviously aware
what’s going on.
On Ms. Rogers’
loving farm
all the animals co-exist
in harmony as members
of a big family.
And perhaps that’s why
Dotty risked her life
to protect her friend.
We have peacocks and
ducks and chickens,
guinea fowl, lamas and
horses, of course,
and well, they’re all
living together, and goats,
and rabbits, guinea pigs,
and they’re all friends.
They’re all
living together.
I’ve got two small
chickens that cuddle up
to the goats,
when the goats are
asleep in their pen.
(That’s amazing.)
Everybody gets on
really well,
(That’s lovely, isn’t it?)
My husband, in fact,
saved Dotty.
She was tied up
at the side of the road,
with some travelers
in a very poor state,
all of her ribs showing,
and brought her home
and gave her to me.
So we are very fortunate
to have her.
For her noble,
courageous deed,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
honored Dotty with
the Shining World
Hero Award, along with
€1,000, a supply of
yummy vegan goodies
and some comfortable
bedding.
One of our UK
Association members
presented Dotty with
the Award plaque on
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s
behalf.
And on behalf of
Supreme Master Ching Hai,
I’d like to present Dotty
with this beautiful plaque,
with her picture, that
you can keep forever.
Thank you very much.
I’m very proud
on behalf of Dotty
to accept this.
A warm letter to Dotty,
which accompanied
the Award,
reads as follows:
Dear Dotty,
It is with great
admiration and gratitude
that we present to you
the Shining World
Hero Award.
This Award is presented
in recognition of your
devoted and courageous
rescue to save
a precious life, and so
being a fine example of
a loving and loyal friend.
Your willingness to
risk your life has shown
humankind of beauty and
Godliness inherent
in the animal kingdom.
When seeing
your stable mate and
longtime companion
being viciously attacked
by a savage dog,
you sprang into action,
racing over and
pinning the dog down
to the ground until
it freed him,
saving Stanley the sheep
from further harm.
In the face of this most
dangerous and frenzied
attack you were willing
to put your own safety
at risk, showing
your noble spirit
of selflessness.
Dotty, you are indeed
a true friend,
going to any lengths to
protect your much-loved
extended family.
Stanley now stays near
to you at all times,
his trusted and gentle
guardian.
And Dotty,
thank you so much for
your valiant display of
the compassionate
and divine qualities of
the animal kingdom.
Also, congratulations for
your PDSA Certificate
for Animal Bravery,
you are most deserving
of the honour
and accolades.
You are the pride of
Row Brow Farm
and indeed,
all of Scarborough
and we are also
very proud of you.
May God bless you with
a safe and happy life.
For your bravery
and motherly spirit of
protection, for providing
a refuge of safety for
your friends and family,
and for being a dedicated
and inspiring role model,
we hereby applaud and
celebrate the heroic deeds
of Dotty the donkey,
Heroine and protector
of the vulnerable.
With Great Honour,
Love and Blessings,
Supreme Master Ching Hai.
That’s lovely. Thank you.
On behalf of
Supreme Master Ching Hai,
I’d like to present you
with a check of €1,000
for Dotty.
Thank you very much.
And if it’s alright,
I would like to donate
part of it to the PDSA
for the work that they do.
And the rest will go
towards Dotty’s keep,
especially this winter,
because I think
(Going to need it.)
we’re going to need it.
Right, and I’d like just to
send a message to
the Supreme Master
Ching Hai,
to thank (her) very much
from the bottom of
my heart,
this Award that has been
presented to Dotty.
She certainly deserves it
for her bravery.
I wouldn’t ever dream
that an animal like her
would do something
brave like that
to a ferocious dog.
And I’m just so proud
of her, and I thank you
very much for giving her
this Award.
Wow, our hats are off
to you, Dave and Dotty,
for your benevolent
hearts and
serving others in need of
your loving attention.
May humankind also
always treat animals
with the same deep
respect and compassion.
Gentle viewers,
thank you for joining us
on our Shining World
Award program.
May our planet forever
be blessed with peace.
