The corgi-German shepherd mix is a native of Puerto Rico and rode out Hurricane Maria late last month inside a boarding kennel on the island. Ten days after the storm hit, devastating the Caribbean island, the pup was reunited with his family in the United States. “He’s survivor dog,” said Holly Bakker, whose family adopted Gustavo — “Gus” for short — in Puerto Rico. The Bakker family is from Corvallis. Holly graduated from Crescent Valley High School and her husband, Chris, is a graduate of West Albany. They’ve been living in Isabela, Puerto Rico, on the island’s northwest side, since 2015 with their daughters, Ally, 11, and Izzy, 9. Chris works for Hewlett Packard and had been asked to manage a team in Puerto Rico, his wife said. The group had departed the island on Sept. 15 for a business trip to San Diego. They’d already endured Hurricane Irma and had boarded their home in preparation for that tropical storm. The palm trees on their property sustained damage, but their house was unharmed. Before leaving the island, the Bakkers dropped Gus at the kennel, where they planned to pick him up two weeks later. But, on Sept. 20, Maria made landfall on the southeastern part of the island. The family was in California. “We were just kind of watching it unfold from afar and felt so helpless,” Holly said. “There was nothing we could do.” Two days after the hurri- Andy Cripe/The Corvallis Gazette-Times via AP In an Oct. 6 photo, Bakker family members from left Izzy, 9, Holly and Ally, 11, have been reuinted with Gustavo, “Gus” for short, a 4-year-old Corgi-German Shepherd mix, who is now in Philomath Ore., after surviving hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. cane made landfall, Holly connected with a kennel employee using WhatsApp, an online messaging service. “She said they were asking everyone to come get their dogs, but there was no way we could get back to the island,” she said. The 25-year-old employee promised Holly she would visit the kennel every day, even if Gus was the last dog there. But then Holly went a couple of days without hearing from the woman. Finally she called and told Holly how bad things were on the island. Clean water was limited. Fuel was hard to come by. The woman said she would fill up containers with water to have some reserved for the dog. Holly sprang into action. Through a friend in a Bible study group, she heard about a Spirit Airlines humanitarian flight. She sent emails and Facebook messages to the family of a girl her daughter, Izzy, had gone to school with in Puerto Rico. Holly gave them the details for the flight and asked that they go to the shelter to retrieve Gus and take him on the plane with them. She told them to bring a duffel bag to put the medium-sized dog into. The duffel bag was too small for Gus, but otherwise the plan went off without a hitch. The family was able to use a generator to read the emails. Spirit Airlines had said no pets were allowed on the flight, but the airline was “very generous,” Holly said. “We heard from people on the flight that there were so many animals on there,” she said. The flight landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the family Holly helped is now settled in Wisconsin. The Bakkers flew from Portland to Florida, where they rented a van to drive Gus to Corvallis. “He was great,” Holly said. “He was a good little traveler.” The family spent five days driving across the country and arrived in Oregon last week. A lot of people asked the Bakkers where they were from. The waitresses at one hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah, offered to buy the family’s lunch and asked to meet the “survivor dog.” “People are really good,” Holly said. “That’s kind of what we discovered as we were driving along.” Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

At a Pendleton City Council workshop Tuesday, City Manager Robb Corbett said the youth outreach nonprofit Reaching Every Adult and Child through Hope’s impending move to the old Pendleton police station at 109 S.W. Court Ave. has been delayed while the city waits to hear from potential buyers. The day after the city council approved the lease with REACH Pendleton on Sept. 19, Corbett said two separate buyers contacted the city and inquired about the property. “That’s obviously a concern to REACH and the city,” he said. While the city hasn’t received any offers since then, Corbett has postponed REACH’s move while the city waits for further development. REACH has sought a municipal facility since it was established late last year. The group used the Pendleton Recreation Center until conflicts with other recreational programs caused the group to train its sights on the old police station, which is unoccupied. At the September meeting, the council approved a 12-month lease with REACH at $1 per month with the option to renew for another year. At the council’s request, the city added language that requires REACH to vacate the property if the city finds a buyer. Joe Jackson, a REACH board member and spokesman, didn’t return requests for comment. After the police depart- ment moved to Airport Road in 2010, the building was used by Umatilla County for its alcohol and drug treatment program before it too moved to a different facility. On the market since 2015, the building has received multiple offers, but the city’s counteroffers have always ended negotiations. HERMISTON Bonney’s Ag & Auto Repair named Cub Cadet Retailer of the Year East Oregonian Bonney’s Ag & Auto Repair of Hermiston has been named Region 5 retailer of the year by Cub Cadet. Cub Cadet designs and manufactures outdoor power equipment. Its Region 5 encompasses most of the western half of the United States.

He attributed his business’s success to a “hometown feel” instead of being a big box store. He also credited customer loyalty and “some of the best prices and financing programs.” Bonney’s Ad and Auto Repair services cars, trucks, lawn mowers and tractors, and also sells tractors. Bonney started it in 1996. A news release by Cub Cadet stated that the Retailer of the Year award is based on sales, customer service, growth and commitment to the brand. “Locally owned and operated, Bonney Ag & Auto Repair has been raising the bar as a full service dealer offering a variety of new power equipment as well as standard maintenance and warranty repairs,” the company wrote. “Many years of experience and the commitment to ongoing employee training allows Bonney Ag & Auto Repair to provide consumers with highly qualified support staff.” Bonney’s Ag & Auto Repair is located at 81600 N.
