HOT C ARE NO TEXAS LE RE

In October 2017, California was in flames. One of those blazes was the Tubbs Fire, which charred its way through 36,800 miles of forests and vineyards in both Napa and Sonoma County. More than 5,600 buildings were destroyed, and 22 people were killed. But when the flames finally died, a four-legged hero emerged from the ashes: Odin, the Great Pyrenees dog. Odin belonged to Ariel and Roland Hendel, two farmers in Sonoma County. When the Tubbs Fire threatened to char their home, they packed up as many of their animals and precious items as they could. Unfortunately, their flock of goats wouldn’t fit in the getaway vehicle — and their goat-herding dog, Odin, refused to abandon them. Great Pyrenees are prized livestock guardian dogs that will do anything to protect their charges, and Odin lived up to his breed.

E very year, you read articles about how many people and animals die in locked cars. And yet, people in Texas still leave children and pets in a sealed and locked car during warm weather. The results are both predictable and tragic and are part of the reason why Texas leads the United States in these kinds of deaths. In 2018, El Paso was responsible for almost a half-dozen of these incidents all by itself. It doesn’t have to be this way. 2018 broke a 4-year streak of no hot car deaths in the city of El Paso. If we are careful and thoughtful, we can avoid this terrible phenomenon altogether. If you’re stepping out of an air-conditioned car into a parking lot, it can be easy to misjudge how hot it really is outside — and how little that temperature actually matters. Even mild days as cool as 60 degrees Fahrenheit can be lethal under the right conditions, and rolling down the windows is not a solution.

"I said, ‘Okay, Odin, take care of the goats. You'll be fine,’" Roland Hendel told ABC News.

“In the distance, I saw Odin's tail," Roland told ABC. "Sure enough, there was Odin coming at the head of all his goats."

Not only did Odin survive the fire and run right up to the Hendels for belly rubs, but he also kept every single one of his goats safe! A few wild deer even joined the goats, and he shepherded them through unscathed. The incredible story made the news, and Odin became a local legend. Unfortunately, even legends don’t live forever. This April, Odin passed away after a long life of tail-wagging, treat- eating, and goat-saving. In his honor, Great Pyrenees Rescue of Missouri gifted the Hendels two new Great Pyrenees pups: Buddy and Snowflake. They’re following in Odin’s pawsteps, protecting the goats he loved so much.
