My dog i met in oktober 2011 during my holliday of a month in Turkey Kusadasi, he was really there for me. Had a really heavy time that period because my relation was very difficult.

​

At day first day in Kusadasi i met Kusa a dog girl skinny and young adult, lucky she was later adopted by dutch friends Angela and davy i met there at the hotel. Sadly Kusa passed away with their dutch home in december 2018 suffering cancer at the carticale.

​

My dog Dasi was there from day two it was if we never where alone. He was just my dog at that holliday. He choose me!

In the early morning i brought my blanked towel always to the beach beds and when i came back from brackfast my Golden boy Dasi was there laying next to my bed!

​

When i rent horses he ran for 1 hour with us up to the mountains and when we had pause for some dinner he was waiting at the border of the veranda, knowing he was not allowed to come in the restaurant.

After the horse trip the owner of the horses Levind brought us with the car back from the stables to the hotel, Dasi was running behind us for 3 streets and the guy give more gas he said he will find his way to the hotel again! Guess what i came crying at the hotel i ran through the hotel to the back garden and the beach and who was there breathing as hell! My Dasi next to my beach bed!

​

When i walked him around in the neighbourhood he was stealing a complete grilled chicken i was eye whitness how he climbs between fence like an houdini! An old woman screaming Turkysh words i didn't understand but i knew she was not happy with my red golden handsome friend Dasi.

​

Dasi was loved in the neighbourhood too, they called him Smile, Sari, Sunny boy, Sandy and names in turkysch slang i didn't remember

​

I made him ready with paperworks vaccination to go to the netherlands but it is not allowed to fly him to the netherlands without 3 months waiting time because incubation time of the rabies. Strange enough we could not get him a collar around he gets nuts and really afraid. So a citycounciller vet came to the beach and did all the vaccins chip at location.

But i had to go back home to the Netherlands. I had the option to put him in a cage with friends of a stray rescuer but i didn't want to take away his freedom so i decided to let him at the street.

Im sure Dasi was the expensive street dog at Kusadasi that time.

​

He run again behind my taxi when i go to the airport. I was getting nuts sad and cried a lot. It was an horror and i was really depressive for 2 years after. I want to go back after 3 months but nobody i met there could find Dasi at the street city or pat the beach. When i tell this story my eyes are running out with tears.

He is standing next to me now looking me in the eyes mommy why you cry!

​

But ok after 2 years i give up hope was really depressive couldn't forget my sunny boy Dasi and one day Jane a Britisch widdow saw him again 

So a flight volunteer from Munchen should picked him up but catching him went wrong.

​

I had to get him here by myself so i booked together with my mom two tickets and fly to Izmir.

​

We took a taxi with a dogbench to Kusadasi! I never forget that taxi trip. The driver drive over a dog and i was calling out please stop im a para veterinarian i can help and we can put the dog in the bench and we can drop him with vet but the taxi driver didn't stop.

It was horror. Mom and i came to Kusadasi the taxi driver should bring us to the hotel but was angry at us because of the dog accident we where not polite enough asking him to stop the car and dumped us with heavy suitcases with dogfood, really at the bussyest street in Kusadasi.

​

Lucky we met a turkysh boy in the plane who has married a dutch woman. He was sharing the taxi with us. He said come i call a friend and will get you to the hotel. So that was been great.

​

We came to the hotel we booked it was one dark place seems somehow a ghostcasstle (winter season) so asked if there are more hotels.

So we ended up at Ladies beach and who was there?!

 

He was when i arrived sitting next to a love couple who where kissing at the beach!

My golden boy Dasi he was so happy to see me after 2,5 years we hugged so much!

But also shocked and run away scared of all the people who where eyewithnessing this amazing incident so jumping out of the buss to see better view of this special rare moment. Ofcourse he was afraid because the city councellor has people who catching dogs away from the streets of kusadasi.

​

We find an hotel at ladies beach near where we found dasi.

We went for diner with that great people who helped us somewhere in the city and brought us back to the Hotel at Ladies beach.

Really i have hugged my Dasi and met my german friend Angelika near the hotel there, she is always helping strays in Kusadasi and also working for a foundation to catch strays to spray and neuter!

I remember that moment as the dat of yesterday!

 

We where tired like hell mom goes up to the hotel room and i have been so long with my Dasi but need to sleep top, but didn't want him any day at the street anymore! So i go up to the room with tears wanted to shower but that was COLD as hell, so go to bed without a good shower.

I wishes my mom for a sleep sleep for 20 minutes and we hear a loud barking around the balcony! What the hell was happening i was sleepwalking to the balcony and look down and who was barking there? That was my Dasi i knew i choose the good thing to get him to my home in the netherlands i have trow him a chewing stick and he was happy and went to bed again. That night he has barked me for 4 times and lucky i had enough chewing sticks for him in the suitcase.

​

In the morning we met the Turkysch boy we met in the airplane and had aranged his friends the bus to bring us to the hotel. This boy knew dutch people who own a little holiday house we could rent for the week so the dog can go with us in the house. So we walked a long up to the mountains to a tiny holiday house and Dasi followed us passing a lot of territories of other dogs!

 

Really special i have seen it before Dasi could pass every dog there in Kusadasi!

​

Even Angelika who worked a lot with strays said to me that dog is really special and smart. I believe he is smart if he could survive 4 years in the streets in Kusadasi without drive over killed or wounded by trowing stones and poisoning!

​

The house was between all tiny same houses without windows so build but not finished only our house was ok to use. We get electric by extension cord, lucky and even warm water.

I was afraid that we could not catch Dasi but he was walking in the house without thinking. I closed the doors and mom and i havent been away of the house since than. Could put on the harness on without any issues. He didn't pie even once in the house and neither in my home all these years. 

So we could left in shifts to babysit and other way. Mom had visited Effesia with the Turkysch boy.

​

So Angelika brought chicken we cook for him and he met and of course feeded 2 guards dogs, one was a big Kangal and if we look up we saw the guard of a big resort we asked to watch after us too. We where there alone between nothing it was a bit scared.

​

So after a week it was time to pack! Guess what Dasi gets nervous and anxienty. He was scared i think he had experienced this before, allowed to get in and after the holiday the people trow him out again. This time it was different i put him in the bench and put him in the taxi who took us to the airport.

He was screaming us when we pick another cage to the taxi. He was calm and ok when mom or i was with him.

​

So the taxi trip was heavy and cold we freezed because the windows where open the taxi driver told us he was driven taxi without pause for 21 hours so mom and i didn't want the windows closed, he drived like an idiot because he needs to stay awake. Hell taxi again at the retour. I think i never take an taxi in turkey anymore only rent a car i guess.

I was afraid that Dasi was at the wrong plane so i was allowed to look him in the eyes and calm him down in the bagage area he was afraid but felt it was good i knew his looking and see he was ok.

​

At schiphol airport Kusa his girl friend dog who was already for 2,5 years in the netherlands with Angela and Davy and was waiting at the arriving area Dasi was so happy to see her and walked with us at the leach to the car if he done it for 1000ths of time. It was great.

​

Dasi was big friends with my horse Uni who has passed away later and Dasi was really sad that time, He knew he felt he suffered of that loss.

He was scared for the cats in the begining but now they are big Friends even my cat Streepje is licking him and sometimes Dasi give a tiny lick too

Dasi is smart if we have him at the leach he can walk other site of a tree and he stop and see oh ok and walk around to follow me. Even he walks in a fence and it has a death end he knew to go back where he came in.

​

Every friend of me is crazy about him he is enthusiastic and he is really been loved. There is even been a bit fight who will adopt him if i could pass away by accident.
Even some rich couple offered me money to buy Dasi from me, i was angry never i will left my Dasi.

​

So after a few years i bred a foal and he grow up playing with him

Sadly he get problems 1.5 years back with pain in his right leg and we made a ct scan. There was some artrose at his shoulder and had and some issues in his neck. But it goes after some painkillers for a while 1,5 years back great again.

Im still thankfull of my horse and dog veterinairians for all the help and care for Dasi.

​

Oh gosh I wishes, i had my Golden Boy to grow up as puppy with me and not suffering of the hard life at the street!

​

Two month ago he was heaving pain from about nothing nothing happened, so my vet said to make a CTscan again with contrast and my worsed nightmare comes out, they found out he has an braintumor meningeoom or glioom.

​

So sadly he must get prednison and had last two month a good time.

Now he had again pain and an attack so he has half tablet more of prednison so even i wanted a moment to let him sleep before he gets more pain and suffering, lucky the pain and atack was temporary and he is stabile now.

At first an dokter told me that the tumor is not operable but now an complete team of specialist (includes a world famous brainchirurg) looked to the case and they see an groundbreaking option to operate him, in combination with radiation therapy.

​

So there is one problem, Dasi is not my only animal i have two old cats who had a few problems. They needed to get operated for mamatumor and pyometra and still paying that bills to my vet.

​

My parents have taken an insurance for Dasi, but the costs are growing up to high so we have not enough money and i don't know how to pay the big bills for an operation of my Dasi. He was for already for an CT scan and this costs a lot and need to go again before he can be operated. Also needs an CT scan again after surgery so far i understand before they can treat him with radiaton therapy.

All my money i spend to my animals and not for myself, i will not care about that. My animals are like kids for me so it is ok.

Dasi was planned to euthanise but he was getting better at a higher doses of prednison. I and we all know this works temporary so we need to do something!

​

He is my soulmate and really saved my life.

​

Im a really sensitive person and will help always animals in need!

​

And found my soulmate with Dasi.

The clock is ticking

Need your financial help to save and operate my love!

Thanks and kind regards
Dasi and Sanne Léone Schinkel
