A dog has visited
a restaurant for 3 years
*Seaweed soup*
Lady : This potbellied dog seems to be pregnant so
I boiled the soup to feed and cheer her up
Actually
Baeggu(white dog) has a bulging belly
Don't know
where she comes from
The lady feeds her everyday
Lady : Argh! you surprised me
But she's still not opening the door of her mind
Lady : She comes to me but doesn't really open her heart like a family
She's not wary of hooman but
doesn't show affection to them
After taking a spoonful of soup
Baeggu begins to lie on the floor and sleep
Woman : Wrud, Baeggu?
But, Baeggu welcomes a woman?
Then she is Baeggu's owner..?
Local : I could just touch her head since I have seen her for one year
In the past, she used to get up and run away if ppl appear
The doggo wanders around the place which is not her house
Then, where is her house?
PD : She's going
She quickly passes by an alley
and Baeggu arrives at a residential area
At the moment we chase after her
The dog gets in a villa's parking lot
This villa is her house?
Local : She walks around here everyday
PD : Really?
Local : I dunno whether she has an owner or not
but sure she often walks around
Local : She roams around, lies down feebly, and repeats
Local : It's been so long for her to walk around
PD : Oh, really?
Baeggu wandering this area
has been seen by local ppl for a long time
So we tried to find out her owner..
Local : Heard that her owner abandoned her when moving
Local : Many houses have gone since a park has built
Villa's parking lot where Baeggu stays / Assumed place as Baeggu's old house
Since the park has been built in this place
Old houses had been torn down one by one
People also left the place
Baeggu's family also abandoned her and left but
Baeggu might be still
waiting for her family
In order to keep waiting
The doggo would've needed ppl's help
But her longing for the previous family is irreplaceable
Local : She might be waiting for her previous owner
Other ppl cared for her so well. The local ppl
They tried a lot to feed and approach her, but she never came
Although the previous owner left her,
Still believing that the owner will be back
and hoping that the owner might come again
Baeggu comes back to this place several times per day
As she continues to wait for her owner..
In the meantime,
Her belly is getting bigger
Local : Baeggu, you sleeping?
Baeggu seems to be exhausted
Local : As you see, she looks for shade and sleeps all day long
The reason people worry about her is
Local : As a pregnant dog, such symptoms including lactating
don't even appear now
Actually, she had to birth to puppies long ago
It has been two or three months long but she still has no symptom
Is something wrong with her pups?
We decided to rescue her without hesitation
Rescue team : Rather than forcedly capturing her,
We'll use the way of naturally luring her into a cage
For the safe rescue
Decided to use her fav. treats
Lady : Baeggu, let's eat, let's go to eat up~
The lady who often fed her
tries to lure her
After she sniffs the treat smell
Baeggu easily gets into the cage..!
Fortunately, she seems to feel secure~
Local : Baeggu~
Local : I'll miss her since I have seen her for a few years
If she's suddenly not here, I may feel something is missing
Dragging her heavy and tired body..
She has struggled to live on the street
Hoping that only good things will happen to her from now on
Baeggu took a medical examination right away
However,
Vet : Phew, oh my..
The vet looks so serious
Is there something wrong..?
Vet : The cause of her expanding belly was
neither pregnancy nor ascites
She has a huge tumor in the abdominal cavity
In the case that the tumor has spread to the area related to
the liver, small intestine, or pancreas
It might be impossible to do surgery itself
In Baeggu's belly
the tumor has been growing, not a baby
After transferring her to the University Hospital
Tries to check the tumor's condition
Hope the tumor hasn't spread to other parts but..
Next day
Baeggu~
All the local people who used to care for Baeggu
visited the hospital
Baeggu seems to be happy
It's time for the vet to let them know abt Baeggu's test results
Vet : This tumor is diagnosed as 'Osteosarcoma'
It's a malignant tumor which is derived from bony tissues
This osteosarcoma is especially one of the most malignant and fatal cancers
No one expected that horrible result..
Vet : More than 90% of the liver has already been widespread by the tumor
All the red parts mean the tumor
The normal liver tissues are the blue one in part, that's it.
Local : All the big things, are they all tumors?
Can't even believe what they see
Vet : Moreover, the various lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity
have also been widespread by this tumor
Surgery is actually impossible
we were hoping that her surgery could be possible at least..
Even that is impossible..
Couldn't even imagine that the tumor has spread to her whole body..
What if we found this earlier than now..
Just feel so sorry for her..
Vet : It's impossible to detect the tumor in her abdominal cavity in appearance
As people look at the expanding belly
They would think that she was definitely pregnant at first
Just eating well
They just hope that
she can give birth to pups in good health..
The dog, waiting for her owner,
must be very lonely and tough
Vet : So, not much time left in her life.
It'd be better for Baeggu to enjoy precious memories with her family,
and to meet a new family who can care for her
and freely go for a stroll with her
Getting out of the painful wait
Just knew she'll be happy but...
Local : I thought you'll be meeting a good owner and living well
What's going on this
Local : I wish that she can forget all about the pain and live a little longer
The limited time of her life
might be meaning that
they can do their best to more love her for the rest of the day
At least for the rest of Baeggu's life
Hope she can fulfill
the overflowing happiness in her heart..
