Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Koinei te wā whakamiharo i huihui ai tētahi hōia me tōna kuri tino whakaongaonga i muri i tana noho ki tāwāhi i Afghanistan mō ngā marama e whitu. E whakaatu ana ngā ataata i a Simba te kuri e rere ana i te kāinga i Crestview, Florida, e tatari ana kia tae mai a Sgt. Paul DiPaolo, 29 tau. I muri iho, i te whakatuwheratanga o te tatau o te whare, ka peke te kuri ki runga i a ia, a, ka hinga ia ki te whenua. Ka taea te rongo i te wahine a Mr DiPaolo, a April, e kata ana i a ia e whakaata ana i te whakaaturanga reka. Kei te ngārara tonu a Simba, kei te ngārara tonu i a ia e awhi ana. He maha nga mea e pa ana ki a ia hei whakahoki i te aroha. 'Ko te papa, ko te papa?' Ka whakahokia e Mr DiPaolo ki tana hoa waewae-wha. I kii a Mrs DiPaolo, 27, ki Today.com i hopukina e ia te waahi i te Pipiri o tera tau engari i tukuna mai i runga ipurangi i enei ra. Te kāinga o Papa: He wā whakahīhī tēnei mō tētahi hōia e hui tahi ana me tana kuri tino harikoa i muri i tana noho ki tāwāhi i Āwherika mō ngā marama e whitu. I hopukina e te kāmera: E whakaatu ana te ataata i a Simba te kuri e rere ana i te kāinga i Crestview, Florida, e tatari ana ki te taenga mai o Sgt. Paul DiPaolo, 29 tau. He hononga e kore e pakaru: Na, i te wa e whakatuwhera ana tana rangatira i te tatau o mua, ka peke te kuri ki runga i a ia, ka akiaki ia ki te whenua. I kii ia ko Simba he 'ngaro' me te 'raru' i te wa e wehe ana tana tane engari ka korero te tokorua ma te Skype. I muri i tana kohikohi i tana tahu mai i te turanga o te ope taua, a, ka hoki mai te tokorua ki te kāinga, ka rere atu ia i te tatau o te karaka, a, ka tatari atu tana tane ki waho. Kātahi ka whakatū ia i a ia kia taea ai e ia te tuhi i te urupare a Simba i te taenga mai o Mr DiPaolo. 'I whakaongaonga ahau ia, ui, "Ko reira Papa?" 'a ka haere ia haurangi,' ka mea ia. I te taha o Simba, he tama kotahi tau te pakeke a DiPaolo, he tino koa hoki ki te kite i te 'papa i te kainga'. Whānau hari: I te taha o Simba, he tama kotahi tau te pakeke o DiPaolos, ā, i tino harikoa hoki ia ki te kite i te 'papa i te kāinga'
E whakaatu ana ngā ataata i a Simba te kuri e rere haere ana i te kāinga i Crestview, Florida, e tatari ana ki a Sgt. Paul DiPaolo. I muri iho, i te whakatuwheratanga o te tatau o te whare, ka peke te kuri ki runga i a ia, a, i te mutunga, ka akiaki ia ki te whenua. Ko Mrs DiPaolo, 27, i hopu i te tirohanga i te marama o Hune o te tau kua hipa, engari kaore i roa kua whakairihia e ia ki te ipurangi. I kii ia he 'ngaro' a Simba me te 'raru' i te wa e wehe ana tana tahu engari ka korero te tokorua ma te Skype.
