Babu，a 12-year-old dog，does not normally like going for walks．But when she insisted on going for one soon after the March 11earthquake，her owner Tami Akanuma suspected something was wrong．When Bahu headed for a nearby hill rather than taking their usual route in the coastal city of Miyako，Akanuma decided to follow along．Minutes after climbing the hill，she saw a disastrous tsunami attacking the town，flattening the district where they lived about 200meters from the coast．"Bahu might have sensed a tsunami was coming，"said Akanuma，83．
Akanuma was relaxing in her living room when the quake struck off Japan s northeast coast．The lights went out and Babu started running around the room，barking loudly and madly wagging her tail．It's a bit early for a walk，Akanuma thought，but she put Babu on her leash（系狗的皮帶） anyway．As soon as she opened the door； Babu fiercely ran outside and headed toward a nearby hill-the opposite direction they usually go for a walk．
When Akanuma's pace slowed down，Babu would look back，as if urging her owner to walk faster．When Akanuma caught up，Babu would ran ahead again，straining at her leash．This game of hurry-up-and-catch-me continued over and over．When Akanuma finally took a rest，she had climbed the hill about one kilometer from her home．Turning around，Akanuma could barely believe her eyes：Most of the route she and Babu had walked had been swallowed up by tsunami and her home had been consumed by-the wail of muddy water．Akanuma believes her dog could tell something was wrong that day．
Babu is staying with Akanuma and about 60locals at a hall being used as a shelter．Rabu turned 12Wednesday．She seemed quite pleased to celebrate the event in her favorite pink outfit，which had been freshly washed for the big day
