            He has survived something most of us cannot even imagine, but it is so good to see him alive an cared for. This is a one day at a time recovery.

              There is another video here where the boy's father, (who is also the son of the boy's 80 yr-old-grandmother), speaks about his belief that they would be found.

                  MIYAKO, Iwate--Babu does not normally like going for walks, but when the 12-year-old shih tzu insisted on going for one soon after the March 11 earthquake, her owner, Tami Akanuma, suspected something was amiss....

                    The stories in your last 2 posts are a joy to read, Makato.

                    Babu must have sense something very bad coming his way somehow. There was a story in the paper here about how a couple of dogs were very agitated the night prior to a landslide, but then strangely when the owner tried to evacuate, the biggest dog would not get up to leave. The 63-yr-old man had to lift a 130 lb dog up and into his car.

                    Babu was much smarter about how to respond, thankfully.

                      Boat captain who saved man washed away by tsunami refused to give name

                      OFUNATO, Iwate -- A man here was saved by the captain of a small boat after he was washed away by a tsunami triggered by the massive earthquake earlier this month, but the skipper left without giving his name.
                      Kenichiro Konno, 37, was on the second floor of his house in Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture, when the powerful tsunami waves engulfed the coastal city on March 11. Konno had evacuated to a local public hall after the quake, but had returned home to change his clothes.....

                      ......the skipper of a small boat named "Taga-maru" spotted Konno in the middle of Ofunato Bay and rescued him using a rope. The ship's captain would not give his name.....

                          NODA, Iwate -- A bath made from a converted freezer truck is proving to be wildly popular in this village that was hit hard by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

                          The bath has been open to residents since March 25, courtesy of Osaka trucking company president Kenji Imamoto, 64, who was himself a survivor of the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake.....

                            RIKUZENTAKATA, Iwate Prefecture--Once a famous scenic spot, all the pine trees of Takata Matsubara were flattened by the March 11 tsunami--except for one.
                            Among the shattered branches and other debris, the one resilient pine tree still standing is giving hope to residents of the city, which was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami....

                            Local wisdom a lifesaver for kids

                            MORIOKA--The wisdom known on the Sanriku coast--the Pacific side of the Tohoku region--as "tsunami tendenko" saved the lives of many children in Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture, when the massive earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11.
                            Of 2,900 primary and middle school students in Kamaishi--where more than 1,200 people died or are missing--only five children who left school early or were off sick on March 11 were confirmed dead. However, nearly all the other students were confirmed safe.
                            Since 2005, the Kamaishi city government has invited disaster management education experts to offer advice, and among the lessons' important points was "tendenko"--a word coined from the city's long history of repeatedly being hit by tsunami.....

                              Doctor who lost everything to tsunami works tirelessly at refugee shelter

                              ISHINOMAKI, Miyagi -- A doctor, whose clinics were wrecked and home flooded by the March 11 tsunami, is busy treating evacuees at a shelter here.

                              Jun Sato, 60, remembered his late father's words, "Doctors must not refuse to treat patients if they ask for it," when he saw evacuees at a shelter shortly after the Great East Japan Earthquake struck.....

                              ....."I'll do my best to look after those living in this city. This is the role that I must play as a community-based doctor," says Sato.
