“白龙”马走了

“白龙”马走了

2月11日晚

下水救人的马儿“白龙”（7岁）

因病情过重离世

在身边陪伴它最后一程的

是其主人依立拜

此前，湖北仙桃江边，三人一马在江中接力救起落水者的英勇事迹感动无数网友，近日来，救人的“白龙”病情反复。2月11日清晨，“白龙”病情突然恶化，再次高烧至40.03℃，并且情绪焦躁，无法通便，也不肯进食。

当日，仙桃紧急联系了全省顶尖优秀兽医专家，各方力量汇集仙桃，全力救治“白龙”。

当晚，在输液过后，“白龙”的情况依然不容乐观，大口喘着粗气，转了几圈后，重重地倒在了地上，一直在挣扎。经检查，马儿是突发肠绞窄，这在马属动物中是一种并不罕见的急症，一旦发病，肠道扭转在一起，死亡率很高。

After saving two drowning individuals in the Hanjiang River, Erbay Dosbag sadly lost his white horse named Bailong, which fell ill and passed away due to acute intestinal strangulation.

晚上九点二十左右，这匹曾经跟随主人勇敢下水救人的马儿，永远离开了我们。

生死一瞬，它曾奋力救人

2月4日下午1时50分，汉江湖北仙桃段，寒冷的西南风吹着，水温只有6℃。一名穿着棉衣的男子在江心沉沉浮浮，他的亲属站在岸边一边喊“救命”一边欲下江救人。

Feb 4 started as an ordinary day for Erbay Dosbag and his friend Su Shaogao, who operate an equestrian club in Xiantao, Hubei province. They were riding along the banks of the Hanjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, when they heard a splash. Su saw a person falling into the water.

危急时刻，一匹白马和三位男子站了出来。开骑马俱乐部的苏邵高站在岸边拽住男子亲属，游泳协会会员刘杭州跳入江中奋力朝男子游去，哈萨克族男子依立拜骑着“白龙”马跃入江中，率先来到落水男子身边，依立拜使出马背上叼羊的本领，死死抓着男子左手手臂。白马掉头朝岸边游去，赶到的刘杭州托举着男子下半身。约3分钟后，离岸边约50米的男子被救上岸。由于救援及时，男子身体无大碍，随后被亲属带走。

Erbay was saddling his white horse Bailong when he decided to act. He mounted the horse without properly fastening the saddle and rode into the river to reach the struggling middle-aged man, who was at risk of being swept away. After running through the water for about 3 meters, the horse began to swim. About 50 meters later, Erbay reached the man, grabbed his clothes and started to drag him to shore. At the same time, Liu Hangzhou, a 57-year-old winter swimming amateur and military veteran, swam to assist from behind, helping to push the man toward safety.

网友盛赞：“人和马，都是英雄！”

来自新疆的依立拜今年39岁，他从6岁起就开始驯马。2024年9月，依立拜在一个马场将“白龙”买下，视其为挚友。救人后上岸，他第一时间为它刮去身上湿透的毛发，随后才给自己换上干衣服。

Erbay, 39, is from the Ili Kazak autonomous prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and has been taming horses since he was 6. His horse, named Bailong, is 7 years old. After reaching shore, Erbay first wiped down Bailong before changing his own clothes.

2月5日清晨，依立拜去看望“白龙”，发现它无精打采，测温后才发现体温高达40℃。对马而言，这是发起了高烧。意识到情况不妙，依立拜立即四处找药，为“白龙”打针治疗。

At 3 am on Feb 5, Erbay checked on the horse and found it restless. A thermometer showed a fever of 40 C, significantly higher than a horse's normal body temperature of around 37 C. Erbay administered medication, and later that day, staff from the Xiantao animal husbandry bureau provided intravenous fluids.

依立拜给生病的“白龙”打针

2月6日中午，“白龙”基本退烧。当日，湖北省仙桃见义勇为基金会授予依立拜、苏邵高和刘杭州“仙桃市见义勇为先进群体”称号。同时，还为“白龙”佩戴大红花，身穿大红马衣，准备了干玉米等草料，让它一同接受表彰。

Local authorities honored Erbay, Su and Liu with the title of "righteous and brave" citizens on Feb 6. Officials also held a special ceremony for Bailong, adorning its head with a red flower and offering fresh corn and grass in appreciation for its role in the rescue.
