00:38Back home, based on a true story, first of all, I want you to know that I am a being
00:46Irrational, don't demand things from me that I may never understand, I'm just an animal that needs to survive, needs to know.
00:55that my actions are extinguished,
00:57You need to know that I didn't plan anything, none of my steps were premeditated, I just couldn't stay where I was, I needed to.
01:06To return, somehow I would have to come back, that's my story.
01:11They called me Xolinho, I was born on a farm in the late 70s, and I soon started my mischievous antics, I loved the
01:21He would take fresh eggs from the hens, chase them from their nests, and take advantage of the warm straw, those fresh eggs, and stay there for hours.
01:32He spent the night in that nest.
01:33In the morning, I faced the wrath of my guardians, who punished me for it, but it was no use; I lacked the reasoning to understand.
01:43And I would repeat those deeds, invade the henhouse, take possession, and expel...
01:49I was punished many times, I just didn't understand why, my furry companions didn't do that, many times we went out for the
02:00Hunting, chasing after prias, opossums, my instinct was to follow the trail of another animal, not for nothing,
02:08I was a great hunter,
02:09I used to go into armadillo burrows, chase after anteaters, one day with two companions, we attacked a snake, I confess that I didn't
02:19He was the best dog, he would get up to all my mischief when my owner traveled and was away from home for three days, or even longer.
02:29He would leave the farm and go to a small shop, a term used for a market, he would go there by bicycle, and...
02:36I would leave it in the back of that place,
02:38And I would stand guard until he returned, protecting his pacifier, the owner of the market, the one who said he would give it to me.
02:46I had food and water, but my behavior didn't change at all on the farm, and one day I felt that something was wrong.
02:53In the air, my owners, tired of me, plotted a conspiracy.
02:57They took me to the city to live with a Jew; my journey begins from this point, I was left
03:05Behind me, I was tied up in ropes with that man, who did everything to make me happy.
03:13But how could I, far from my home, the deepest sadness imaginable took hold of me, and I passed away.
03:23Bitter days, I refused to eat or drink.
03:27Sometimes I would fall asleep, thinking it was a dream, that at dawn I would wake up on the farm, with the children, with my friends.
03:36making my art,
03:37In that part of the city I couldn't be happy, it wasn't a place for any dog, so I decided I needed
03:46To return, I made the decision and planned my escape. I knew the scent of my owners, the strong scent of...
03:54The gasoline from variant 2 was unmistakable, but it was all or nothing, I just had to try, I couldn't stay there, it was
04:04everything I was thinking,
04:05And one day that man came to take my rope, perhaps he wanted to demonstrate trust, loyalty; for weeks I waited for that moment.
04:16And when he released the moorings, I said, 'Now's the time,' and I started running, aimlessly, without direction.
04:22And when I was far away, I realized that the Jew didn't even care; now it was a matter of finding the way back, of finding...
04:31A new happiness, the longing for home was like a knife piercing my heart, it felt like my soul was bleeding.
04:39But now, on the streets of Juquiá, my focus was to follow the scent; I was blessed by the creator with a keen sense of smell, and
04:48Thanks to that, it helped me, searching in the air for the way back, at that moment in my life.
04:55history, I didn't think of it like a dog, maybe my creator transformed me in those days, after roaming the city, already without
05:04I hoped, I found something familiar, a highway,
05:08And I stood there for a few moments imagining, then I noticed a large vehicle full of people, those colors, wine-colored, with
05:18Shades of yellow, far away, I'd seen that before, that was it, when I waited for my owner to return from his travels, this vehicle.
05:27I always passed by on the road, I remembered that market was on the side of the highway, my instinct told me I had to keep going.
05:36I don't remember how long I walked, night and day, feeding myself with scraps I found in the trash, water was abundant, my
05:45My instincts guided me; I needed to stay focused. It was a highway, many cars were passing by, I had to be very careful, it could all happen that I never...
05:54more to come back,
05:55I was an irrational being far from home, nobody cared, I know this basket, I would say yes, but
06:03My instincts were taking over; I imagined the farm, the food, the place, a paradise, the friends, the children, the hunts.
06:13I lived through moments when the longing was agonizing, and I would tell him, thinking that my owners might hear, but the reality was...
06:21very different,
06:22I was alone and distant, one day I realized that one of the cars passing by had a smell that I already knew.
06:29It felt familiar, close, or like someone who had been to the place before; my little being filled with strength and...
06:37Motivation, and I didn't stop walking, I needed to go back, I wanted to go back to my home, my house, I need
06:45Go back, I need to go back.
06:48After many days I found a place by the side of the road, where my sense of smell detected a stronger odor, a
06:55Further on, at the health post, the smell intensified, but it still wasn't the farm. I continued walking along the highway; it was very...
07:05tired, hungry, thirsty, demoralized,
07:10After all, I was abandoned, left behind, none of that mattered now, my tired eyes, already without strength, I observe in
07:21A bend in the road, some trees, a small grocery store, and I immediately thought, I've been here before.
07:28I remembered that place; it was the shop where my owner used to leave his bicycle. I ran to the back hoping to find something.
07:35It was all empty, but the smell was in the air, I could feel it, my instincts told me it was close.
07:44Now I had an ally, I knew where I was, now I was sure I would find my home.
07:52And after many days of anguish, as I took my last steps, I heard a cry, a child was crying out, "Mother, the..."
08:01Xolinho returned, he couldn't believe he was home, those were his family, that was the place where he lived, there was a party.
08:11Regarding the way humans looked at me, they couldn't believe what I had done; I confess I was very...
08:17happy, yet also in disbelief,
08:20After all those days, I finally managed it, so tired and exhausted, I lay down and spent hours thinking, wondering if not
08:30Had I succeeded, where would I be now? They immediately gave me food, my companions came closer, we spoke in our language, they paid me homage.
08:40They will welcome me, and we will embrace in our own way.
08:44What days those were, ladies and gentlemen! I was forgiven for all my old mischief, I was truly very happy.
08:53My achievement has spread, it doesn't matter, what matters is that my story serves as motivation.
09:00Believing is a very powerful thing, and I clung to it throughout the journey; overcoming, another essential point, how many fears...
09:08I had to overcome all of them, I fed on the desire and the will to return, to be home, with
09:16My family, my friends, and that encouraged me, made me give up on the affronts, I was focused on returning, and finding the
09:26on the way back,
09:26My goal was to capture the scent, the smell I couldn't lose; many confessed that I was victorious, perhaps in my irrationality.
09:37I asked my creator for help, but one day, as the sun set, I lay down on the dirt road to rest, and ended up...
09:44As I was sleeping, I didn't hear the sound of a truck, which even made a move to stop, but the wicked driver didn't stop.
09:52Berto was my murderer, and on that day I ceased to exist, but my story continues to live on, as do my deeds.
10:00Now that it has been published, may it serve as inspiration and motivation; it is a message of resilience.
10:07A voice in our hearts says, don't give up, don't stop believing, the nights are cold and dark, but it's necessary.
10:17Keep going, hunger and thirst will make you think about stopping and giving up, loneliness and distance,
10:26They will bring you fear and dread, but you need to ignore them.
10:29You need to stay focused on your goals, keep moving forward, just walk, walk, don't stop, until you hear the cry of...
10:41happiness.
11:04Opening
