Visitors to Waikiki Beach may have to look twice at the four-legged sufer boarding in to shore just to make sure they are not dreaming, but the regulars are not surprised. They know the eight-year-old pup is Bugsy, a local legend whose owner, David Yew, taught the dog to surf.
Yew, 39, got the idea while he and Bugsy were not walking on the beach and came across a statue of a surfer. Yew placed the dog down on the surfboard to take a photo, and the scene looked so natural that Yew was inspired to take the next step. Soon the two were surfing together. Bugsy loves the water so much that Yew has trouble in keeping it up.
Bugsy wasn't always full of energy and fun. Two days after Yew, a doctor of emergency medicine, adopted the 12-week-old puppy from a shelter, Bugsy had a serious cough. Yew rushed the pup to the ICU of a vet hospital, where he stayed until Yew could no longer afford to keep him there. Bugsy needed further treatment, so Yew built his own ICU in his apartment and gave the sick pup treatment himself until his companion. Bugsy recovered a few days later.
Since then, the doctor and dog have been inseparable."Saving Bugsy's life creat unconditional trust between him and me," Yew says. "He knows I'll take care of him no matter what happens."
That may be what fuels Bugsy's spirits. The pair surf together every week and have shared other experiences, including skydiving. At Yew's wedding to Aimee Kim last year, a tuxedoed Bugsy carried the rings for them.
