Speaker 1: with us with a dramatic story of a life saving

27
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: animal hero. Jack Hannah, welcome to crime Stories. Tell me

28
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: your thoughts on animal heroes. Why do they go unsung? Well,

29
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know, we're all in the media, and

30
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times the media likes to

31
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: talk about negative things with the animals, when you know

32
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: it's just news. People love animals since the beginning of time,

33
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: as I tell people, you know, I don't know what

34
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: the prehistoric wolf looked like and things like that, but

35
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: is things developed over the thousands and tens of millions

36
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: of years or whatever. Then those animals became, you know,

37
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: probably the food source for many many people of kay

38
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: people or whoever was alive. Then the course those animals

39
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: became more Where I use habituated, which means used to people.

40
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at Diane Fosse, a New Virtues

41
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: of a a friend of mine and I have a home

42
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: in Rwanda right next to the Mountain Girls where Sue

43
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: and I have a home there for two miles from

44
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: of the Girls live. And you look back at history

45
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: where the grillers were poached. They were hunted for body

46
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: parts and for food and things like this. So as

47
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: cultures developed throughout the world, way back from who knows,

48
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: tens of thousand millions of years ago, cultures developed. And

49
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: that's why I tell people I have a saying real

50
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: quickly touched the heart to teach the mind. So when

51
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: when I go into these countries all over the world

52
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: of film and not just a film, to talk to

53
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: them about, you know, taking care of conservation animals like

54
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: the birds, they might eat too many of other this

55
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: and that, and you talk to them about their lives first,

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: the people, then you can help the animals. I've always

57
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: learned this over the years of forty five years of

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: doing this, that I go in to help people first

59
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: and then in turns helps the development of the animal world.

60
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: So that's what I do a great deal of. With

61
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: me is the renowned Jack Hannah, the director emeritus of

62
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: the world famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and host of

63
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Jack Hannah's Into the Wild, Old and Wild Countdown. Jane

64
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Valez Mitchell, I will never forget. Oh man, I miss

65
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: you so much, Jane Mitchell, I will never forget. I

66
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: think it was youring top mom, Casey Anthony. We were

67
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: all down in Orlando and everyone was going to go

68
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: out to dinner one night and we ended up at

69
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: what was that place? Anyway, It was a steakhouse and

70
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: I thought that Jane Valez Mitchell was going to jump

71
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: out of her skin. She By the time it was

72
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: all over, I was afraid to even have a bowl

73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: of spinach. So, Jane les Mitchell, why is this so important? Well, you,

74
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: if we love animals, don't eat them, don't wear them.

75
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: My belief system is that they're not commodities, They're not

76
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: things for us to use. Their individuals who were entitled

77
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: to their own lives, and that they have so much

78
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: more in common with us than they have separating us.

79
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: The animals that have central nervous systems, that have high hearts, ears.

80
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: Anybody knows a dog, knows dogs dream, so do pigs.

81
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: So we have so much in common with these animals.

82
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: And the truth is what's killing them, And by killing them.

83
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: We're killing ourselves with heart disease and cancer and many

84
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: other diseases. So there's a way now to live, and honestly,

85
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: we can't sustain it, Nancy. Animal agriculture is the leading

86
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: cause of greenhouse gases, more than all transportation combined. It's

87
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: the leading cause of habitat destruction, and which makes it

88
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: a leading cause of wildlife extinction. Why because we're seven

89
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: and a half billion people on this planet, but we

90
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: kill sixty to seventy billion animals that eat a lot

91
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: of food. So we have to destroy a lot of

92
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: forests to create cropland to feed sixty to seventy billion animals.

93
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Many for meet a lot more than leaders. Janelas tell

94
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: me about Jane Uns. Yes, thank you for asking, Nancy.

95
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: When I left hl LYNN, they had graciously allowed me

96
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: to do one animal story a week. I don't know

97
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: if they knew what they were getting into, but I

98
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: was able to cover many, many stories that normally don't

99
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: get national coverage. Jane, Can I just tell you something?

100
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: I would pass Jane in the hall and should say

101
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: awesome ratings nance and I'm like, Jane, you gotta stop

102
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: with the plastic bags. Okay, We know they're bad. I

103
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: know they're bad. I don't think they realize that you

104
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: are getting in a lot more animal stories. And I'm

105
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: so proud of you. Jane unchained dot com. Thank you.

106
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: And it's a social it's a digital news network for

107
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: animal rights. We had almost sixteen million views on Facebook

108
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: this past year. We just added it up. Yeah, so

109
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: we're okay. I want you to take a listen. You

110
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: and Jack Hannah to a very special guest joining me

111
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: right now, Dori Natal. I am looking at a photo

112
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: of you, Dory, and the story that you have to

113
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: tell is incredible. Thank you. Tell me what happened, Dorry. Now,

114
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure Jack Hannah and Jane Vlais are not going

115
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: to be surprised, but I bet our listeners are. Go ahead.

116
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: My son was diagnosed with type one diabetes when he

117
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: was two. It's an incurable, non preventable, lifetime disease where

118
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: his blood trigger We have to inject insulin multiple times

119
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: in the day just to keep him alive. Without that,

120
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: we prick a finger every two to three hours. Okay,

121
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: wait a minute, wait minute, it's just so much, so fast.

122
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: I always say I'm drinking out of a fire hydrant.

123
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: I can't take it all in your baby, your baby boy.

124
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: I have a boy and a girl. Jack. Can you

125
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: believe it, Jane, I actually have children, my life long dream.

126
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: And I'm miserable because I could just see him walking

127
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: out the door to college, and how do they know

128
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Mommy's going back to school. So my daughter had to

129
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: spend the night party and one of her little friends

130
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: has diabetes and she has a monitor. It went off

131
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: all during the night, and I was so afraid I

132
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: would do something wrong. I kept reading the mom's text

133
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: message instructions and oh, I was so worried. As it

134
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: turned out, it was not, you know, hard to do

135
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: it all, but it is very you have to do it.

136
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: You have to stay on top of it. I did

137
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: it one night. You are telling me you give your

138
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: son injections throughout today just to keep him alive. Yes.

139
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: That's the thing that I think a lot of people

140
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: don't really understand about diabetes is that type one diabetes,

141
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: especially is a twenty four hour disease and you I

142
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: am trying to be a pancreas for him, and it's

143
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: a very hard thing to do. And when he was

144
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: very little, he couldn't tell me how he felt if

145
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: he felt off. So we decided to research all the technology,

146
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: all the technology. We have a monitor we finger prick,

147
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: but then we started. We are an animal lover family,

148
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: and we detarted. Taking a minute, guys, go online and

149
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: you got to look at the picture of what she's

150
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: talking about. There's your beautiful baby boy. He's asleep with

151
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: a curverse pulled up. There's a Ibetes monitor. There's stuff

152
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: sitting on the like a little pack folded out, a medipat.

153
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: You see her hand holding the monitor. It has fifty

154
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: seven on it, and right beside it, it's a dog

155
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: that looks a lot like my little fat boy, a

156
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: little black dog looking up at the picture. And this

157
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: is on Facebook. Now go ahead, I'm looking at the

158
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: picture right now. Tell me what happened. Well, it was

159
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: a typical night before bed. We always tested his blood sugar,

160
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: We calibrate his monitors, and then we go to sleep.

161
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: I set several alarms overnight, and there's many things that

162
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: can wake me up, either the monitor, my alarm clock,

163
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: or Jedi. And the amazing thing about Jedi is he's

164
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: been with us since my son was three. Is he

165
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: consents when the dog. Right, Yes, Jedi is my son's dog,

166
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: and my son's name is Luke. Oh, my stars, I

167
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: get it's an English line. Guys, this dog. Okay, yeah, Jane,

168
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: you have to go online. We've posted this on crime

169
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: online dot com. You gotta see this his dog, Jane,

170
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: no stealing anymore pants. Okay, back to Jedi, go ahead.

171
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: So we're Star Wars family. So Luke Gloves named him Jedi,

172
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: and he has, as Luke calls him, magic powers. Jedi

173
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: knows when he's going to drop or go. His blood

174
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: suger go high about twenty minutes before the meters and

175
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: sometimes the meters take a long time to catch up.

176
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: But jedium. They're still researching the actual chemical. But Jedi

177
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: can smell the changes in Luke's body. And that night

178
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: he was laying on my feet. And his alert at

179
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: night is to jump off the bed, jump back on

180
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: the bed until I wake up. And so that night

181
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: I was asleep. Everything was fine. I had tested his

182
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: blood sugar like I do every night, and I had

183
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: an alarm set for midnight but or midnight and three,

184
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: but it was between those alarms and Jedi jumped up

185
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: off the on the bed. It took me a minute

186
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: to wake up, because this is every night. And then

187
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: he laid on me, and I got up, went to

188
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: the kitchen like I always do, got his kit tested

189
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: him and he was fifty seven, and which means I

190
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: immediately had to wake him up and give him have

191
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: him in Jess glucos fifty seven, What does that mean?

192
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: It means a white a minute, That's what it says

193
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: right there. Fifty seven. Yeah, the typical we all need

194
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: glucose in ourselves to keep our bodies going. It's the

195
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: fuel for our bodies. And typically most people and run

196
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: between seventy and one twenty that's how much glucose they

197
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: have in the cells. And below seventy it starts to

198
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: become dangerous. You can have a seizure, you can go

199
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: into a coma. Luke feels miserable when he's low. It's

200
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: he says, it feels like a stone sinking into the ocean.

201
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: It's the body shutting down because it doesn't have enough glucos.

202
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: Clime stories with Nancy Grace with me is Dory who

203
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: you can see the photo of her little baby, her

204
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: angel in bed has Type one diabetes. You have it

205
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: for life and it can cause a death. Your body

206
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: starts to shut down. I'm looking at this shot of

207
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,359
Speaker 1: this beautiful angel and he would not be alive today

208
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: if it were not for the dog Jedi. And I'm

209
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: looking at your post and you say, I've had already

210
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: given him a glucose tab. What else could I do?

211
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: There's nothing, So in that moment, I'm waiting for his

212
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: blood sugar to come up like I've done a thousand times,

213
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: and I'll do a thousand times more. And I feel

214
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: so alone in a world that doesn't understand what someone

215
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: with type one diabetes goes through on a daily basis.

216
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: And then that moment I see beside you as this

217
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: mom is standing there looking down on her son, wondering

218
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: what's happening, and there is Jedi right beside the bed. Yes,

219
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I am so moved. If you could see

220
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: this photo. So tell me again, what did Jedi do

221
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: to make you get up? You'd already given him, you'd

222
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: already taken care of your baby. What made the dog?

223
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: How did he get you awake to get in there? Um?

224
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't stop, he gets he lays on me, he'll

225
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: nudge me, he'll palm me, he will do whatever it

226
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: takes to get my attention. We've been working with him

227
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: for years and he alerts multiple times a day. So

228
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: for this particular one, he was not giving up until

229
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: I woke up. And you know, we're tired, and so

230
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: sometimes I looked at the meter and I the meter

231
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: said he was okay. So I didn't immediately jump, but

232
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: when he didn't give up, I got up. And there

233
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: have been several instances where he's found, he's alerted, and

234
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Luke's been thirty or forty and I don't some of

235
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: those would have been. But I know that Luke is

236
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: healthier and happier, and he's here today because of Jedi

237
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: helping me do everything that I need to do twenty

238
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: four hours a day to keep to keep Luke, you know,

239
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: happy and here, and Jedi is is always there for me.

240
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: It's an extra companion, an extra layer of support to

241
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: help take care of Luke. And I'm forever indebted to him.

242
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: To Jack Hannah, Director Emeritus the world famous Columbus Zoo

243
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: and host of Jack Hannah's Into the Wild and the

244
00:14:52,280 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: Wild Countdown, Jack, when a baby boy says, Jedi he

245
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: has superpowers, he has magical powers. How does it happen?

246
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: How do they do that? How does a pet do that?

247
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, listening to what you're saying, getting together what

248
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: everyone is saying so far real quickly be on a second.

249
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Our daughter Julie lives with us at forty two years old,

250
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: at the age of two and a half because one

251
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: of the worst forms of lukmi you can imagine in

252
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: the world in nineteen seventy seven, so we rushed her

253
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: down the Saint Jude Hospital at two year old age.

254
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: We were noxtural at that time, by the way, and

255
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: they told us she would not live twelve hours. So

256
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: we got her barely there and not a twelve kids

257
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: under flour Everyone passed away except she and a little boy.

258
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: Now Julie back to the animals, was used for research.

259
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: She had radiation to brain along with another little boy.

260
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: There were only two that survived other twelve kids. Today,

261
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: of course, that was one building in nineteen seventy seven.

262
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: Saint Jude has thirty to day. So I'm saying that

263
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: my daughter Julie, along with the other boy, gave their lives.

264
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: Julius has had her last brain tumor two years ago.

265
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: She's forty three, lives with us. We continue to have tumors,

266
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: but thank god, so far all of them have been

267
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: and she lives with us. Not that there are cancerous,

268
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: but she's been just she survived it. What I'm saying

269
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: to you talking about animal world, what you are doing.

270
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: If you look up, there's a list and I don't

271
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: know where it is, of how many diseases, whether it

272
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: be measles, chicken pox, go down to about forty of them,

273
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: you'll see how the animal world literally saved human beings

274
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: by research. I'm not I'm not. I'm not for inhumane.

275
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't like animal research become the slamming dogs and

276
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: animals and like that against when shields to test cars

277
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: like they used to do. No, I'll fight that against

278
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: every every day. However, when it comes to animal research

279
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: for humane by the way, I said humane, all right,

280
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: when my own daughter or the other human beings are

281
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: being used. The animal world literally has saved many of us.

282
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: And one of the hardest things for me to do

283
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: is when I have in the last twenty years. I

284
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: guess if you call it, I'm not, I don't easy

285
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: the word celebrity. By the way, I never have. I'm

286
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: an animal ambassador. And I don't like the word celebrity.

287
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: But when people come to me and a little child,

288
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: for example of last year, was nine years old, I

289
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: think you're from Indiana. Her sister she came, she had

290
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: maybe her. They to us on the phone that they

291
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: called the last wish and specially wish the last wishes.

292
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: Are you going out office, you will see the pictures

293
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: of these young people who didn't make in. Their last

294
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: wish was to see an animal. And you won't believe this.

295
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: They came there last year. You could see that she

296
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: was had because I've been through all this stuff which

297
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: she has no hair, and all the treatments with drugs

298
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: and every everything, and she hadn't smiled. And all of

299
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: a sudden I put a little penguin right there in

300
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: her lap, and sure enough she smiled one of the

301
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: first times. It's amazing what animals will do. Then I

302
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: asked the father, I mean you wipe her hands off.

303
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: I have a little sloth I wanted to touch, and

304
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: it was born there Darzo and Plumbus, and he said, no, Jack,

305
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: her hands to be washed very shortly, and he pointed

306
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: to heaven. You don't think that myself and father was

307
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: there didn't lose it, you know, and what you're talking

308
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: about the same kind of thing. Animals for some reason

309
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: they have they have a way with him. When I've

310
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: seen these children, there are pictures on my walls and

311
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Lenda did not make it, but they had their last thing.

312
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: And I go to children's hospitals, even with some of

313
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: the animals. You see these children and how they just

314
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: come out of that pain. And I wish I could explain,

315
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I have a saying I

316
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: lived by it. You have touched the heart, tease the mind,

317
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: and these kids are really touching my heart more than

318
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: I am theirs, and I just, you know, I don't

319
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: That's what I can answer your question again if you

320
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: want me to. But I'm just telling you what I

321
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: have to look at. I don't have to do it

322
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: at all. But it's something that really shows me in

323
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: life what the animal world means to all of them.

324
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace speaking of these superpowers of animals.

325
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: Dogs have this unbelievable cats too, sense of smell. Humans

326
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: have about five million cent receptors. Dogs have up to

327
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: three million, depending on the breed, and it's been proven

328
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: that they can sniff out a chemical change and detect

329
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: all types of illnesses in humans, including epilette seizures, certain

330
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: types of cancer, diabetes changes. And a theory is at

331
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: our present day dog ancestors gray wolfpack survival dependent on

332
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: the ability to know which member of the pack was sick.

333
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: Jane Vlez, you have reported on so many pet heroes

334
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: way in yes, Well, first of all, you should pay

335
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: attention to your dog in your home. There was a

336
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: great story out of North Carolina about a dog, a labrador,

337
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: who would get very agitated when the family's babysitter was

338
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: around and would try to place himself between the seven

339
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: months old boy and the babysitter and growl. And the

340
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: parents noted the dog's haired stand up. So they saw

341
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: this happening so often they decided to put a recording

342
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: device in the home when they left, and they found

343
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: out that this babysitter was abusing their child, slapping the

344
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: child and insulting the child, and because they were alerted

345
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: by the dog, they ultimately had this woman arrested. So

346
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: when you're a parent or you're just a person, pay

347
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: attention to your dogs. If you want to know what

348
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: it's like to be an animal, take a vow of

349
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: silence for a couple of hours and see what mechanisms

350
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: you're going to use to communicate. You're gonna find yourself

351
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: tapping and doing a lot of the same maneuvers that

352
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: dogs can because they can't speak English, but they can communicate.

353
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: And you know what I say is, it's not just dogs.

354
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: We have this odd thing in our culture where some animals, oh,

355
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: we love them, we adore them, we deify them. Others

356
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: they're not entitled to any respect and we consider them commodities.

357
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you that there's tremendous, tremendous intelligence

358
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: in pigs. In fact, Lulu, a housebroken, pot belly pig,

359
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: saved her human companions of life. The woman was on

360
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: vacation Joanne in Pennsylvania. She collapsed in a heart attack.

361
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: The rockbellied pig ran out of the mobile home where

362
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: they were staying, crashed through the gates. When a car

363
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: was coming, the pig would lie down on the road.

364
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: Several cars just veered around the dog. Lulu kept running

365
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: back to checking on her human companion. Finally she ran

366
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: out threw herself on the ground again. A motorcycle stop

367
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: followed Lulu back to the mobile home, and that's where

368
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: he encountered Lulu's mom lying there having had a heart attack,

369
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: and they called nine one one. So pigs are extremely

370
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: intelligent animals. They are smarter than dogs, and they have

371
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: the intelligence of very young human children. So as we

372
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: expand our circle of compassion beyond the boundaries of our

373
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: own species, let's not just stop at dogs and cats.

374
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: Let's consider all animals, because guess what, we're all animals,

375
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: including us human. You know, Jane les Mitchell, have I

376
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: told you today? I just love you. I loved you

377
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: from the very first moment that you filled in for

378
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: me as a guest host on seeing Nzheln and that

379
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: was just it. And to hear you speak and tell

380
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: your stories, I just want the world to love you

381
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: as much as I love you. I just can't imagine

382
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: that I've got Jack Hannah and Jane Villas Mitchell on

383
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: at the same time. You know, I've got another lady

384
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: with me, and I want you guys to hear her

385
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: incredible story. And again I'm looking at a picture of

386
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: her and I've just got to tell you it just

387
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: really makes me cry. It's a this lovely blond lady

388
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: and she's wearing tights, black tights and a blue tshirt

389
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: and she's looking down at a little boy. He looks

390
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: like he's reading a iPad and he's got his head

391
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: resting on a big dog like he's a pillow with

392
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: me right now. And let me just go ahead and

393
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: destroy your name. I think I'm saying correctly, shawna Kneehouse. No, yes,

394
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: oh my goodness all. Let me just rub it in

395
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: that I pronounced it right the first time. I'm like

396
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: some people you that I won't mention Seana. I'm looking

397
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: at this little boy and I'm guessing this is your

398
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: little boy. Yes, what happened? So the day this picture

399
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: was taken was the day that we met Tornado, my

400
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: son's service dog. That was the first day of our

401
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: training class um UM. And we had been fundraising for

402
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: um quite a long time to cover the costs of

403
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: training for Tornado and then also for our family, our

404
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: family of five traveling to Ohio to the organization that

405
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: trained Tornado for Kai. And there there's there's some why

406
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: does Kai need a service dog? So? Kai is autistic?

407
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: Um we when he when he was younger, we noticed

408
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: that there are some elements to having an autistic child

409
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: that can be really challenging. And as a parent, it's

410
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: your responsibility to um, you know, help them live their

411
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: most fulfilling life, give them the most access to the world,

412
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: support them, and love them in the best ways that

413
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: you can. And Kai is a dog person. I'm a

414
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: dog person, and he's always where he would find troubles

415
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: socially with people or find challenges with people. Those those

416
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: social interactions didn't come really naturally to him. But he

417
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: did always gravitate to dogs. So my husband and I

418
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: debated getting him a pet dog, but we thought, well,

419
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: if we're going to get him a dog, let's let's

420
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: get him, you know, something, something proper that can be

421
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: with him. If this is who he might make a

422
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: connection to, let's go for it. So we we decided

423
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: to fundraise and have Tornado raised for Kai. So this

424
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: the day of the picture that you see is the

425
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: first day that they met. Towards the end of the day,

426
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: after we had traveled across the entire globe through the

427
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: continental US to get over to Ohio, we met Tornado

428
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: for the first time. Kay was really overwhelmed. He I

429
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: think we were all overwhelmed. Along with other families who

430
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: were other recipient families who had received their dogs that day,

431
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: and Kai, my husband had to take Kai back to

432
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: where we were staying and give him a break and

433
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: kind of bring him, you know, in and out, you know,

434
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: as he could manage himself. And then this was sort

435
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: of at the end of the day, shortly before we

436
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: were leaving, and out of nowhere, Kai came out of

437
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: the children's playroom, grabbed his iPad and then just came

438
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: in laid on Tornado and sorry, I'm getting emotional. So

439
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: that moment where you see me kind of crying is

440
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: actually was really like like an ugly cry. Um was

441
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: sort of the moment that two years of hope went

442
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: into that moment. You know, we we signed on to fundraise,

443
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: we signed on to travel, we signed on for all

444
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: of this hope that Kai might connect with his service dog,

445
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: and that his service dog, Tornado would help be that

446
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: bridge from Kai to bring those connections to the rest

447
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: of the world, to help give him access to the

448
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: rest of the world, to help give my husband and

449
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: I peace of mind when when you know, we live

450
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: in Tokyo and it's exceptionally busy here and the people

451
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: the crowds are out of this world. And that's overwhelming

452
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: for anybody, let alone you know a child with sensory

453
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: processing differences, it's already an American kid and Tokyo and

454
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: he is autistic. To add onto it. I'm looking at

455
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: this photo and you say it was worth every fight,

456
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: every diagnosis, every dollar, every paper filled out, every school meeting,

457
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: every tear I shed, every step forward, every step back

458
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: to see what you're seeing right then, And it's you say,

459
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: the face of a mother who sees her child who

460
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: she cannot hug whilst dressed, snuggling touch freely because of

461
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: his autism, now laying on his service dog, of your

462
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: child's own free will. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Listen

463
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: to this story, guys. This woman, Diane Boucher, was woken

464
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: up from a deep sleep at four thirty in the

465
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: morning by Oreo, her cat. The cat wouldn't stop screaming,

466
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: would not stop screaming. She ran out to check on

467
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: the cat. And you know that sound when you hear

468
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: your cat or dog make a crazy, high pitched screamy sound.

469
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: She ran out and what she found were flames. And

470
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: if it had not been for her cat, waking her up.

471
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: You know she would be dead and her home destroyed.

472
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: There are stories like David CC fourteen years old, couldn't swim,

473
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: fell out of his dad's boat, and within minutes a

474
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: dolphin called Filippo had come to the tourist attraction and

475
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: saved the boy's life, pushing him up out of the

476
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: water to safety. I mean a dog. Brenda Owen gone

477
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: out for a walk with her dog. She spotted a

478
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: wheelchair on a river bank, sees a woman in the water.

479
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: She called out. The woman didn't answer. She said to

480
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: the dog, fetch. The dog jumps straight in that cold

481
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: river water and pulled the woman to shore. I mean.

482
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: It goes on a two year old child in Texas

483
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: walking with his grandmother when Arf, the family's dog, got

484
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: very agitated so badly the dog thought. I mean, the

485
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: grandmother thought, I better take the child inside. The dog's

486
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: going crazy. The child's mother came out to find Arf

487
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: in a fight with a twenty four inch North American

488
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: coral snake and Jack hannay, you can tell us about

489
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: coral snakes. Go ahead, yeah, well is a snake. Obviously

490
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: they can be failed. It's not a matter of a

491
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: like a rattlesnake. You know, people say about rattlesnakes all

492
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: time with a good Lord made a rattlesnake because snake

493
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: will rattle. See how step on it, and people say,

494
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's a rattlesnake. Well, being very happy

495
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: it's a rattle snake. A coral snake looks like some

496
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: other kinds of steak, king snake, things like that. But

497
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: that's a newer toxic and he must thought hema toxic

498
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: because you know, as a rattlesnake, those kinds of snakes

499
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: where it's just a very painful bite and also just rots.

500
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: But when it comes to coral snake, which is pretty rare,

501
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: the animal has to basically chew. He doesn't have the things,

502
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: and that goes that's not he it's newer toxic. When

503
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: he means he goes to blane and you go to

504
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: sleep basically, and I'm sorry to say, you might just

505
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: sleep forever forever. So people get mixed up on snakes.

506
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: I've filmed snakes all over the world. My people always

507
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: ask me the question, oh my gosh, Jack, have you

508
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: been betten? You know I don't like that question because,

509
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: as Jane will agree, if I'm betting or something, my

510
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: animal usually usually most of the time, it's my fault.

511
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: It's not the animal's fault. When we film out there

512
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: for thirty years, I made it clear as thirty years

513
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: ago you respect. It's called respect for your animal. At home,

514
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: it's respect for the elephants, the lion. Some film crews

515
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: love to go in there and push it to where

516
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: the dawn gum thing attacks the jeep and throws it

517
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: over and some guy get it. You know. The reality TV.

518
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of it because it doesn't

519
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: teach the young people how to go to Africa or

520
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: India or the North post health Pole wherever I go.

521
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: We we filmed with respect. Okay, maybe you don't get

522
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: the best film of something attacking and blood flying every

523
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: which way. That's their home, not my home. And we

524
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: always feel with respect to these animals, and we've always

525
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: done it. And the god our crew has been together

526
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: for twenty three years and we all work as a

527
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: team as a family, and we look at those wild animals,

528
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: your animal home. You know, you you respect your animals home.

529
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: You don't sit down and take a dog. And my

530
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: dad taught me that you put food there in his saying.

531
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you have a two year

532
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: old or somebody visit you, and they go and grab

533
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: the food out of a dog bowl, and Jane will

534
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: tell you that could be a fatal bite, a fatal bite,

535
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: that could be a channibal bite. So kids have to

536
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: learn about animals, you know. I know I'm jumping around

537
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: a lot. My dad used jumping on the farm. I

538
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: have a T and T or a D T, a

539
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: D I don't know what the hell heck I have

540
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: my dad with W I can't remember as a D

541
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: T and T called. Okay, whatever it is. Anyway, I

542
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: jump around or but I just am trying to explain

543
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: things about animals. And you know, some dogs have never

544
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: even met in anybody. But you can't go up to

545
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: dogs to grab the food out a pot. You know.

546
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: I learned all these things on the farm and how

547
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: to respect the animal world. And that's what I try

548
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: to do when I film and when I talk about

549
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: the animals, you know, to the comb Zoological Park. I

550
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: think Jane knows ninety eight percent of our animals today,

551
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent come from other zoos. I can go

552
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: click if I need a sperm or an egg or

553
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: something like that, because I think we really are the

554
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: arts of the world. We weren't that. We were not that,

555
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: by the way, twenty thirty years ago, but today millions,

556
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars are spent on to make

557
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: sure these animals have habitats. There's some of the best

558
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: in the world. And if you can't touch the heart

559
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: to teach some mind of these people about your dogs

560
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: or cats or some of these animals and none of them.

561
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: When I do my speeches to two hund three thousand

562
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: people in these theaters, ask the audience, how many have

563
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: you ever seen a elephant in Africa? No hands? How

564
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: many have you ever seen a killer? Well, no hands?

565
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: How many have you seen? I could go through a

566
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: list of five thousand animals and usually sometimes I'll say

567
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: a dolphin. You'll get some hands up. So what I'm

568
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: trying to say is in there's a logical world, in

569
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: the aquarium world, having these animals now that we know

570
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: how to breed them and have them and have the

571
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: proper habitats. And then I'll agree with people way back

572
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: when they weren't good habitats. But now today we do

573
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: that because We have to let people see for themselves

574
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: why they would want to love an animals to save

575
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: an animal, you can't love something you can't save something

576
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: in the world that my wife hates this term, but

577
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: I'll say it real quick. I have kids and grandkids,

578
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you one thing is I travel the world.

579
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: The main thing we have. Everybody, you can do global warming,

580
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: say everything you want to. It's called over population. I

581
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: think Jane knows this. Probably overpopulation takes animals room. It's

582
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: that simple, and it's not rocket science. Everybody, we can

583
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: sit here and debate on global warming. You debate all

584
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: you want to, water and all this stuff causing this.

585
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: The Good Lord put the earth here. He told us

586
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: to do with what propetator prey relationship on our earth. Obviously,

587
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: with so many people, it's been shrewed up. So that's

588
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: why we have to sit here and lead teach people

589
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: something about other animals throughout the world, you know, and

590
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and hopefully people learn from their

591
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: dogs and cats. Without the animal world, none of us

592
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: would be here in many different ways. But the animal

593
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: world taught me a lot. By the way, when I

594
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: go out there and study the gorillas, or watched them

595
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: for over all these years. And the lions, which are

596
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, a real social animal, not like the solitary

597
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: catch will filming the spot where you see the snakes

598
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: for example. You know these are all creatures on earth,

599
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: and then if you've got and learn about him and

600
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: see them, then you respect them. With me today, my

601
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,759
