In June,2009,Mohawk was trapped.Never in his life was he ever confined or looked at 2 feet away by crowd of inquisitive eyes with hostility.Worst still, he was struck on the skull ended up with a medusa shaped wound with raw flesh exposed ( Pic 2 ). Naturally, He was very traumatised. Could we blamed him for behaving aggressively to all near his cage. He was just trying to frighten intruders away to save his own skin. How else ? He is an animal & confined in a cage amidst a crowd of milling people.He was to be euthanized but SAS thought otherwise.
It took us 4 months for him to trust us.We named him Mohawk. His colouring is like an Red Indian with a band of white against rich brown diagonally across his neck.His ears are upright.His chest is white & he has white socks too with a bushy tail. Furthermore, he moves as if he is on a hunt.
Mohawk is not aggressive at all. Infact, he plays like a child. All our Ketum dogs play like kids. They don't play in any aggressive manners. For a time , he likes to come near & lift the kennel hand's skirt.He loves his name & pricks up his ears whenever called. 2 teenagers lads told their dad he looks like a film star. Indeed, he does & wants him.
Mohawk ia a beauty who must have space & one who cares enough to build up a bond with him. When you do , you willbe proud of him for he will give you presence.
