Hero dog Kabang is an Ambassador of ‘Dogwill’ on Rabies Awareness Month


 

March is Rabies Awareness Month and hero dog Kabang is taking this as his cue to walk the runway to promote animal welfare to children.

Kabang led other dogs in a fashion show in Zamboanga City in an event that aimed to promote vaccination against rabies. 

Children were keen on taking selfies with the hero dog, who was just as keen to pose for the cameras. 

Kabang became famous throughout the world in 2011 when she leapt in front of a speeding motorcycle on a busy road to save two young girls—the daughter of her owner and her cousin.

Her face was mangled but she survived.

When her story became viral, an online fundraising drive spearheaded by New York nurse Karen Kenngott raised more over $20,000 for Kabang's treatment in the United States. 

Doctors were unable to completely rebuild her face but managed to protect her from infections that could have endangered her life.

Kabang now lives without an upper snout. 

The hero dog has previously met with presidential son Sebastian "Baste" Duterte and he has led seminars with fellow dog Pacquiao—Aya Tantiangco/KG, GMA News
