Dog reunites with family in
Oregon after Hurricane Maria REACH move delayed as offers
pending for former police station
By LILLIAN SCHROCK
Corvallis Gazette-Times
East Oregonian
CORVALLIS — Four-
year-old Gustavo wagged
his tail eagerly inside the
gate of a large backyard in
southwest Corvallis.
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-

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. If
you notice a mistake in the paper, please call 541-966-0818.
REACH could be looking
for a home again.
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.
Owner Ken Bonney said
he was “shocked” to get the
award.
“I had no idea I was going
to get it,” he said in an email.
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.
Hwy. 395 in Hermiston.
