From that day on Wowow became our mascot but what makes him so special is how he bonds with the patients by laying at their feet when they are out of their beds. He has also taken it upon himself to walk half way home with the staff every day, almost like a guardian. He simply shows his love via these simple gestures.
During the recent the riots in Grabouw our precious Wowow somehow got caught up in the mobs and was badly burned. His wounds were so severe that, as a result, he was admitted to intensive care. We were extremely worried. Thankfully he has recovered well and is back with us because of the support from
Joanna Brederode, who paid the vet bill! Joanna heard the story of Wowow and it melted her heart. It goes to show that one dog really can make a difference because the lives of the staff and patients at ThembaCare would certainly be a more grey without Wowow around.
