Former Samaipata puppy died in the mountains of the Andes on Thursday, May 29, 2008. She was 7 weeks old.
Mia was adopted on May 9, 2008, by Peace Corps Volunteer Tammy Truong to save her from strangulation by an owner looking to be free of unwanted puppies.During her time here on this earth, Mia delighted her new mother by balancing on puffy slippers, getting lost between people´s feet, learning to use books as stairs, and running just as fast as her little toothpick legs would allow her as she followed her beloved Volunteer up the block.
She is survived by her mother Tammy Truong of Samaipata, Bolivia, and her grandparents Thuc Truong and Le Nguyen of Kokomo, Indiana, USA, who will all dearly miss watching her eat their lovingly prepared chicken rice soup in between forced feedings of mashed papaya from a syringe to help clean out her little co the (body). Little Mia was preceded in death by her brother who also was unable to survive the harsh conditions away from his birth mother’s bosom at such an early age.
Services were held on a dreary morning in front of the Bella Vista Hostel as Mia´s body was laid to rest amid the Andes with a hand-carved headstone and flowers placed at her gravesite.
