Moni kwa Agalu Akuluakulu: Akulu Angatiphunzitse Zizindikiro Zatsopano, Nawonso

Agalu akulu ali "mkati," momwe amayenera kukhalira.

"Nkhope yanu imatha kupwetekeka chifukwa chakumwetulira mufilimuyi yonse ndipo, ngakhale pali zochitika zingapo zomwe zingabweretse misozi pang'ono, ndikofunikira kuti mudzipereke ndikupereka ulemu kwa zolengedwa zokoma komanso zazikuluzi zomwe zakhala zikuchitika kuponyera pambali kapena kunyalanyaza. " -Karen Ponzi, Independent Yatsopano

Agalu akulu ndi nyama zina zopanda nyama (nyama) ndizinthu zabwino kwambiri zomwe tingaphunzire zambiri za iwo ndi ife eni. Zaka zingapo zapitazo ndidafunsa wopanga makanema wopambana mphotho Gorman Bechard za kanema wake wodziwika, Galu Wotchedwa Gucci , ndipo tsopano ndili wokondwa kupereka kuyankhulana kwina ndi Gorman za kanema wake watsopano komanso wotchuka, Akuluakulu Zolemba yomwe itulutsidwa m'malo owonera ambiri Lachiwiri, Seputembara 29. ¹

Ngoloyo imatha kuwona apa. Ndayang'ana Okalamba kangapo ndipo ndalingalira zambiri za kuyankhulana komwe ndidachita ndi wojambula wopambana mphotho Isa Leshko za buku lake lotchedwa Amaloledwa Kukalamba: Zithunzi Zanyama Zokalamba Kumalo Oyendetsera Mafamu yodzaza ndi zithunzi zosonyeza mtima, ulemu, ndi mawonekedwe osiyanasiyana komanso osangalatsa.

Izi ndi zomwe Gorman adanena za ntchito yake yatsopano - kanema yomwe ndakhala ndikuwonera mobwerezabwereza chifukwa ndiyabwino.

Chifukwa chiyani wapanga Okalamba?

Ndi filimu yanga yoyamba yachitetezo cha nyama Galu Wotchedwa Gucci , Ndimamva mobwerezabwereza momwe anthu amafuna kuwonera kanemayo, koma sanathe. Adachita mantha ndi zithunzi zachiwawa zomwe zingachitike, ngakhale ndidanena kuti anali ochepa kwambiri mufilimuyi. Kuti kanemayo anali wokhudza zomwe tonsefe tingachite kuti timve mawu ku nyama.

Poyandikira kanema wachiwiri wachitetezo cha nyama ndidazindikira nthawi yomweyo kuti ndikufuna ikhale kanema "wokondwa", yemwe nditha kutero. Zinayamba pomwe ndidamva za Chaser, ndipo ndidafikira Dr. Pilley kuti andifunse ngati ndingamuyankhule ndi kujambula galu wake wodabwitsa. Koma ndinadziwa kuti sinali nkhani yonse yanga. Mkazi wanga komanso wopanga mnzake Kristine atandidziwikitsa ku Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, kanemayo adayamba kuwoneka.

Zitha kukhala zolemba za mphamvu ya agalu akulu. Ndi moyo komanso chikondi chotani chomwe ayenera kupereka. Chiyembekezo changa chinali kupanga kanema yomwe ingapangitse anthu kulingalira kawiri zakubweretsa mwana wagalu kubisalako ndikusankha wamkuluyo m'malo mwake. Kuphatikiza Jane Sobel Klonsky ndi kujambula kwake kodabwitsa mufilimuyi kunandithandiza kunena nkhaniyi mosangalatsa komanso mokongola. Sindinayambe ndawonetsa galu wamkulu akuvutika mu khola logona. M'malo mwake, ndikuwonetsani zomwe galu wamkulu angawonjezere pamoyo wanu. ² [Pa zokambirana ndi Akazi a Klonsky, onani "Agalu Akulu: Kupatsa Mdala Canines Chikondi Chambiri ndi Moyo Wabwino."]

Kodi kanema wanu watsopano amakhudzana bwanji ndi mbiri yanu komanso malo omwe mumawakonda?

Ndili ndi zokonda zitatu m'moyo wanga: nyimbo, pizza ya New Haven, ndi agalu. Ndapanga mafilimu onena za onse. Kulakalaka nyama yayikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi ndikomwe ndili nako kumbuyoku. Koma ndakhala ndikukhulupirira nthawi zonse kuti popanga china chake waluso, kaya ndi chojambula, buku, nyimbo, kapena kanema, chilakolakocho chinali chinthu chimodzi chachikulu kwambiri. Ndikugwiritsa ntchito zomwe ndikudziwa kuti ndimachita bwino kuthandiza kuphunzitsa anthu ndikupulumutsa agalu.

Ndani akufuna omvera anu?

Ndi lotseguka pano. Aliyense amene adakhalapo ndi galu wokondedwa amapeza kena kake mufilimuyi komwe kangaphunzitse, kusangalatsa, kapena kungomwetulira. Ndipo padziko lino lapansi pakadali pano, sindingaganize zabwinoko kuposa kupangitsa anthu kumwetulira ndikupulumutsa agalu ndi kanema womwewo.

Kodi ndi mitu iti yomwe mwalowetsa mufilimu yanu ndipo ndi iti ina mwa mauthenga anu akulu?

Kupatula uthenga wawukulu kuti agalu akulu akadali amoyo kwambiri, ndimafuna kunena kuti agalu ndi anzeru kwambiri kuposa momwe ambiri timakhulupirira. Izi zidachokera pazomwe Doug James adanena Galu Wotchedwa Gucci pomwe anthu amafunsa chifukwa chomwe amagwirira ntchito molimbika kusintha malamulo azinyama pomwe anali "galu wosalankhula basi." Monga Doug, ndimakhulupirira kuti kulibe chinthu chonga galu wosalankhula. Pali eni ambiri osalankhula, koma osadzudzula galu. Chaser ndi umboni wa izi. Kuti kuthekera kwawo pakuphunzira kumangolekezedwa ndi nthawi yomwe timathera pophunzitsa.

Komanso agalu ndi banja. Ndipo akuyenera kuchitiridwa motero, mwaulemu womwe timapatsa anthu, makamaka muukalamba wawo. Agalu atipatsa moyo wawo wachikondi wopanda malire, kusewera, kuyenda, komanso kutimvera chisoni, ndipo tili ndi ngongole kuti tikhale nawo ndikuwasamalira kufikira atapuma. Ndikukhulupiriradi kuti munthu wowopsa yekha akhoza kutaya galu wamkulu pogona chifukwa samayenera kusamaliranso. Ndikufuna kutembenuza izi ndikukhulupirira kuti zomwezo zimachitika kwa munthu ameneyo akakula ndipo sangathe kudzisamalira. Kusamvera chisoni galu koteroko ndikosatheka komanso kowopsa kwa ine.

Kodi kanema wanu amasiyanasiyana bwanji ndi ena omwe akukhudzidwa ndimitu yofanana?

Ndizosiyana pafupifupi pafupifupi filimu iliyonse yachitetezo cha nyama yomwe idapangidwa chifukwa simudzasiyiratu chithunzi cha nkhanza mufilimuyi. Simudzawona ngakhale galu mu khola. Palibe chowopsya ngakhale patali. Ndi kanema wokondwa yemwe amakondwerera moyo, luntha, chifundo, ndikudzipereka. Kwenikweni zidzakusangalatsani kuyambira khutu mpaka khutu. Ngakhale ana azikonda.

Kodi mukuyembekeza kuti zinthu zisintha kukhala zabwino anthu akamaphunzira za kuzindikira komanso kukhudzika mtima kwa nzika zaku canine — akulu odabwitsa — ndi zomwe akufuna ndikusowa kwa ife?

Chiyembekezo changa ndikuti sitinawone galu wina wamkulu ataponyedwa m'malo obisalapo, kapena kusiya kuti afere kuthengo. Pali mawu abwino kwambiri a Kurt Vonnegut ochokera ku Breakfast Breakfast of Champions: "Tili athanzi pokhapokha ngati malingaliro athu ndianthu." Ndikutenga gawo limodzi, malingaliro athu ndi zochita zathu. Tiyenera kuchitira moyo wina padziko lino lapansi momwe timafuniranso ife. Ndipo ngati sitingathe kuyamba ndi agalu, omwe amatipatsa zambiri kuposa anzathu, ndiye kuti tatayika ngati chikhalidwe.

Kodi pali china chilichonse chomwe mungafune kuuza owerenga?

Mumuchitire galu wanu momwe mungamukondere kwambiri m'banja chifukwa ndi momwe galu wanu amakuchitirani.
