ItSA国际影视传媒檚 been about a year now since Adrian BellSA国际影视传媒檚 four-legged friend Brodie survived a wolf attack near their cabin at Prelude Lake.

Since then, life hasnSA国际影视传媒檛 been so rough. Brodie turned 12 in March and according to Bell, the spots on his fur have only just grown back.

SA国际影视传媒淲e drove back from Edmonton,SA国际影视传媒 Bell explained, which is where they took Brodie to an animal hospital following the attack. SA国际影视传媒淗e really had to rest up for a couple of weeks before he could have even very brief leash walks.SA国际影视传媒

Bell said that Brodie has quite a bit of scar tissue on his right side from where he was attacked. If anyone were to trace their hand alongside BrodieSA国际影视传媒檚 right hip, theySA国际影视传媒檇 probably feel a small lump.

SA国际影视传媒淗eSA国际影视传媒檚 less and less sensitive all the time, but I canSA国际影视传媒檛 scratch him there,SA国际影视传媒 Bell said, adding that Brodie still has some balance issues.

Not for nothing, BrodieSA国际影视传媒檚 survived a stroke and has arthritis in one of his hips. Still, it doesnSA国际影视传媒檛 stop him from pacing around BellSA国际影视传媒檚 office, greeting anyone that steps in.

SA国际影视传媒淚 promised him if he survived that ISA国际影视传媒檇 make sure weSA国际影视传媒檇 have a new adventure everyday and we do that,SA国际影视传媒 Bell said.

Some of those adventures saw the two get up to plenty of snowshoeing by their cabin and spending time in the woods.

Now, BrodieSA国际影视传媒檚 biggest issue is chasing too many porcupines, though it cost him around 50 quills in the face in December.

SA国际影视传媒淗e hasnSA国际影视传媒檛 lost his fighting spirit,SA国际影视传媒 said Bell. SA国际影视传媒淲e had to get in there and remove them all. ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 his fourth run in with porcupines.SA国际影视传媒

Bell said they now always make sure BrodieSA国际影视传媒檚 walking around with a bell on him when theySA国际影视传媒檙e at their cabin. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 to help other animals know he isnSA国际影视传媒檛 a wild animal, he explained.

To see Brodie stand on his on four legs again with a smile on his face makes Bell feel blessed.

SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e really lucky things worked out the way it did and we just enjoy everyday,SA国际影视传媒 he said.
