A Canadian boy touched hearts globally when he created a Lick It List – a bucket list for dogs -when he   knew his ailing service dog and best friend wouldn’t be with him much longer.
Cole Hein has an undiagnosed malady that causes him to suddenly stop breathing. Bingo, a Jack Russell terrier was trained to bark loudly and alert Cole parents or others that he needed help. “I owe Cole’s life … to Bingo saving (him) countless times,” said the boy’s mother, Mandi Hein.
“Bingo will go to heaven on a marshmallow cloud that will have a chocolate water slide for dogs,” Cole Hein, 11, said in a written statement Wednesday.
“Bingo will ask God if he could help the dogs on Earth more by helping dogs living in pounds, shelters (and) rescue groups get good homes with loving new moms and dads and children, who will love them as much as I love Bingo.”
“Cole will soon have another dog with a special bark. MSAR, a non-government search and rescue organization with a special canine program, trained Bingo and is already working with a dog named Neekan who will be given to the family soon.”
