ʻO ka launa ʻana o ke kāne a me ka holoholona ma ka papakaumaka e huki mau i ka manaʻo o nā ʻōpio nānā a me nā mākua. ʻO kēia nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻohana, hoʻopā a hoʻomākeʻaka. ʻO nā holoholona, inā he ʻīlio paha, a he Tiga paha, a he lio paha, e hoʻoulu mau i ke aloha, a hana nā luna i nā ʻano pāhenehene a i kekahi manawa a puni nā hoa aloha ʻehā. Noho mau kēia mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i mau hoʻomanaʻo no nā makahiki he nui.
ʻO ka mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni holoholona mua kahi leopadi nona ka inoa ʻo Mimir. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia iwakālua, ua hoʻolālā ʻo Alfred Machen, he alakaʻi Farani, e kī i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e pili ana i ke ola o nā leopadi ma Madagascar. No ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻana, ua wae ʻia he mau kiʻi paʻi kiʻi nani, akā ʻaʻole makemake nā mea hana huelo i hana a hōʻike i ka huhū i ka poʻe ʻoniʻoni. Ua makaʻu kekahi o nā mea kōkua a kī ʻia nā holoholona. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kahi leopadi cub no ka paʻi kiʻi ʻana. Ua lawe ʻia ʻo ia i ʻEulopa a kiʻi ʻia i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hou aku.
ʻO ka hopena o ka liona i kapa ʻia ʻo King ka mea pūʻiwa pū kekahi. ʻAʻole wale ka holoholona i mea hoʻokani kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kona manawa, ua ʻike pinepine ka liona iā ia iho ma nā ʻaoʻao o nā makasina alakaʻi o ka USSR, ua kākau ʻia nā ʻatikala a me nā puke e pili ana iā ia. Ma ke ʻano he keiki liona liʻiliʻi, ua hāʻule ʻo ia i loko o ka ʻohana Berberov, ulu a noho i kahi keʻena maʻamau o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻOi aku ma mua o kēia moʻo holoholona nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma kāna moʻokāki, akā ʻo ka hapanui o nā mea āpau, ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ka Mōʻī e ka poʻe e hoʻolohe ana i kahi comedy e pili ana i nā huakaʻi o ka poʻe ʻItalia ma Rūsia, kahi i kiaʻi ai i kahi waiwai. Ma ka hoʻonohonoho, makaʻu ka poʻe hana keaka i ka liona, a he nui nā hiʻohiʻona e pono e hana hou. ʻO ka hopena o King ma ke ola maoli i lilo i mea pōʻino, ua pakele ʻo ia mai nā mea ʻona a ua kī ʻia ʻo ia i ka pā o ke kūlanakauhale.
Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻAmelika "Free Willie" i ka hoalohaloha ma waena o kahi keikikāne a me kahi koholā pepehi kanaka nunui i kapa ʻia ʻo Willie, i hana ʻia e Keiko, ka mea i hopu ʻia mai ke kapakai o ʻIlia. No ʻekolu mau makahiki aia ʻo ia i loko o ka aquarium o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Habnarfjordur, a laila ua kūʻai ʻia aku ʻo ia ma Ontario. Ma aneʻi ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia a lawe ʻia aku no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i ka makahiki 1993, ua hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia ko Keiko kaulana i kekahi hōkū Hollywood. Ua hele mai nā makana i kona inoa, koi ka lehulehu i nā kūlana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻopaʻa a hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ke kai ākea. I kēia wā, ua maʻi ka holoholona, a ua koi ʻia nā kālā nui no ka mālama ʻana. Ua pili kahi kālā kūikawā i ka hōʻiliʻili kālā. Ma ka lilo o ke kālā i loaʻa i ka makahiki 1996, hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka kohola kohola i ka Newport Aquarium a hoʻōla ʻia. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hoʻouna ʻia lākou i ka mokulele i Iceland, kahi i hoʻomākaukau ʻia kahi lumi kūikawā, a hoʻomaka ka holoholona i ka hoʻomākaukau no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka nāhelehele. I ka makahiki 2002, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Keiko, akā aia nō ia e kiaʻi mau ʻia ana. Ua ʻauʻau ʻo ia 1400 kilomita a noho ma kahakai o Nolewai. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻopili i kahi ola manuahi, hānai ʻia ʻo ia no ka manawa lōʻihi e nā loea, akā i Kekemapa 2003 ua make ʻo ia i ka maʻi ponia.
Ua aloha nui ʻia nā ʻīlio ʻīlio mai ke anaina: Beethoven, hoʻomana ʻia e nā keiki a me nā mākua, St. Bernard, Lassie the collie, nā hoa aloha o nā mākaʻi ʻo Jerry Lee, Rex a me nā mea ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka ʻīlio i hoʻolei ʻia ma ke ʻano he Jerry Lee, he mea hōʻoki lāʻau lapaʻau ia mai kahi mākaʻi ma Kansas. ʻO ka inoa kapakapa o ka ʻīlio kahu hipa Coton. I ke ola maoli, ua kōkua ʻo ia i ka hopu ʻana i 24 mau lawehala. Ua hoʻohanohano ʻo ia iā ia iho ma 1991 ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o 10 kilokika o ka cocaine, ka nui o ka loaʻa he $ 1.2 miliona. Akā i ka wā o ka hana e hopu i ka lawehala, ua kī ʻia ka ʻīlio.
ʻO kekahi meʻe kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kaulana ʻē aʻe ʻo Rex mai ka papahana TV kaulana ʻo Austrian "Commissioner Rex". Ke koho ʻana i kahi mea hana keaka, holoholona i kanahā ʻīlio i koho ʻia, ua koho lākou i ʻīlio hoʻokahi a me ka hapalua makahiki i kapa ʻia ʻo Santo von Haus Ziegl - Mauer a i ʻole Bijay. Pono ke kuleana i ka ʻīlio e hana ma luna o kanakolu mau ʻāpana ʻokoʻa. Pono ka ʻīlio e ʻaihue i nā pōpō me ka sausage, lawe mai i ke kelepona, honi i ka meʻe a me nā mea hou aku. Ua hala ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ʻehā mau hola i ka lā. I ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ua hōkū ka ʻīlio a hiki i ka makahiki 8, a ma hope iho ua hoʻomaha loa ʻo Bijay.
Mai ka wā ʻelima, ua komo kekahi ʻīlio kahu hipa i kapa ʻia ʻo Rhett Butler i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Akā no laila ʻaʻole i ʻike ka poʻe hoʻolohe i ka pani, ua pena ʻeleʻele ʻia ka maka o ka ʻīlio. ʻO ke koena i loaʻa i ke aʻo ʻana.
ʻĀ, he aha kāu e hiki ai ke hana, ʻoi aku nā mea leʻaleʻa keu i kū i ka hoʻonohonoho. No laila, i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e pili ana i ka puaʻa akamai, ʻo Babe, he 48 mau puaʻa i hōkū a hoʻohana i ke ʻano hoʻohālikelike. ʻO ka pilikia ka hiki i nā pua puaʻa ke ulu a hoʻololi koke.
