Our dog - "Daku-nosuke" also went through the disaster


He is an old Dachshund (sausage dog).
His sleeping time has been getting longer and longer and now he sleeps most of the day.
Daku became 15 years old on 1st of May.

In his bed on a usual spot.



He was at home all by himself on 3.11.
My mum drove back desperately in the chaos without traffic lights. The snow started to fall.
As soon as she got back, she checked his usual sleeping spot. The space is in front of the cupboard, and many objects fell down all over his bed including a heavy clock ... and he wasn't there... he wasn't trapped under the objects.

Where was he then?

She found him in front of the electricity condenser. That was the warmest space in the house and it was also the safest place. There was nothing falling off from above. 

How did he know the situation and manage to move to the safest place?

Was it a so-called animal instinct?
Or it was just coincidence?



Nobody knows except him...





Taking a bath for the first time after the earthquake. Daku loves bath time. He sometimes relaxes too much and falls asleep.
