Babu,a 12-year-old dog,does not normally like going for walks.But when she insisted on going for one soon after the March 11earthquake,her owner Tami Akanuma suspected something was wrong.When Bahu headed for a nearby hill rather than taking their usual route in the coastal city of Miyako,Akanuma decided to follow along.Minutes after climbing the hill,she saw a disastrous tsunami attacking the town,flattening the district where they lived about 200meters from the coast."Bahu might have sensed a tsunami was coming,"said Akanuma,83.
Akanuma was relaxing in her living room when the quake struck off Japan s northeast coast.The lights went out and Babu started running around the room,barking loudly and madly wagging her tail.It's a bit early for a walk,Akanuma thought,but she put Babu on her leash(系狗的皮帶) anyway.As soon as she opened the door; Babu fiercely ran outside and headed toward a nearby hill-the opposite direction they usually go for a walk.
When Akanuma's pace slowed down,Babu would look back,as if urging her owner to walk faster.When Akanuma caught up,Babu would ran ahead again,straining at her leash.This game of hurry-up-and-catch-me continued over and over.When Akanuma finally took a rest,she had climbed the hill about one kilometer from her home.Turning around,Akanuma could barely believe her eyes:Most of the route she and Babu had walked had been swallowed up by tsunami and her home had been consumed by-the wail of muddy water.Akanuma believes her dog could tell something was wrong that day.
