One day in December 2020, just before Christmas
We've come to visit a home to hear some heartwarming news
First comes a charming dog welcoming us with wits
There's a yellowish thing, moving here and there
Guess his friend is a little shy..?
Plz, let me be acquainted with these dogs~
Ho-Seop : This is Duck-ho, one I adopted from the animal welfare organization. About a year ago..
Unlike his intense, tough looks, this is Duck-ho, Ho-Seop's winsome companion.
Ho-Seop : This, you might recall, is Yumi. The one rescued after getting some burns, shortly introduced in Animal Farm.
She's under my temporary protection, after getting all the necessary treatments.
I expect you'd remember.. This is Yumi..!
Yumi
In last year, December
There was Yumi, brought to a hospital located in Seoul. Struggled on the verge of life and death, in an emergency room...
As if it's painful just to be alive, breathing, Yumi burst out crying in agony..
She was in the worst shape, just as painful to watch her suffer.
In which condition was she in, being burnt from the neck to back
Vet : From the face to neck, then half of the back and the rest of the abdomen..
Almost 40 to 50% of her body has third-degree burns, suspect that the area of burns is quite big
If Yumi wasn't rescued in an emergency, I reckon, she wouldn't be able to survive..
It was not just about burns.
Vet : At the skull, we've found some fractures caused by some sort of blunt weapon Highly possible this was done by man.
Her body radiated the smell of burns,
Her head was left with fractures, probably be caused by a blunt weapon..
Simply say, it is just as a miracle for Yumi to be alive
Fire inspector : With a torch for family use, it wouldn't be able to leave such wounds or burns.
It's more plausible that the culprits used a gigantic torch in which the torch is connected to an LPG barrel
The flame must be as big as the dog, I suppose
By using the torch in which most butchers make use of
The culprits put a fire on Yumi on purpose..
Even if Yumi came back alive, she must have been struggling in a deadly pain
that was left both on her body and inside her mind..
However, she pulled herself together in the midst of such adversity, holding the thread of life
Yumi's getting better day by day, thanks to Ho-Seop's devotion to temporary protection
PD : They have good chemistry right?
Ho-Seop : Yeah. They hang out all the time. Duck-ho's particularly well attached to others..
But in fact, Yumi easily opened herself up, more than I expected
Duck-ho did most share for Yumi being vitalized ♡
Yumi's making miraculous change day by day, drenched in the love and support from Ho-Seop and Duck-ho
She's become so much better, compared to the last time we saw her, But, there are marks left which can still trace back to her bad memories
Ho-Seop : I don't think this side won't grow up again.
PD : Even her ears looking shorter than the last time..
Ho-Seop : Yes, all the parts where it was burned were necrotized and fallen off
So some said, plastic surgery would help.. but we decided not to.
The parts where necrotized can no longer grow back any hair..
Though Yumi should put on some ointment multiple times a day, but we all are proud of Yumi, enduring this far
However..!
Is she 'Yumi' we know? Who was at the edge of life and death?
She's more energetic than we thought she'd become, tee-hee
She doesn't let Duck-ho to take her toy away? Woah
It's just as surprising to see her growth..!
By just thinking that we'd have missed the chance of seeing her recovered this well, it makes us all feel quite saddened
Time for food!
Ho-Seop : Beef broth!!
PD : Woah, beef broth?!
Ho-Seop : This was from somebody who found us on Instagram, sent as a gift for Yumi discharged.
Ho-Seop : And this is beef..
Ho-Seop : One for immunity, one for skin infection, for arthritis..and the vitamins
After Yumi's story went on air, people came forward to offer help..!
(Yumi's better nourished than I am..)
Since Yumi gets impatient when she smells of food, she's quarantined in a room for a while
As soon as the food arrives,
Gulping down the fewd ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That afternoon,
Getting ready for a go-out?
PD : You heading somewhere?
Ho-Seop : Yeah, she hasn't gone out since she was discharged. So we're planning to drop by the clinic for a check-up
PD ; Ah, it's her first go-out ever since?
Ho-Seop : Yup, it is
The day for the first check-up ever since she was brought home!
Nurse : Yumi~~
Upon hearing Yumi's arrival, everyone in the clinic gathered around!
Nurse : You've been well honey~?
Being in the clinic made her quite nervous..
Her name's called here and there
Vet : Your hair's so grown~ / Gained a little weight too
Vet : Yumi, can you walk now?
One who's been struggling on the cliff of life and death has come back in such a good shape
For those who've worked hard for Yumi's treatment and recovery, this moment most certainly is touching
After all the meet and greets, there began a medical check-up
When Yumi was waiting for the test results in the ward,
PD : Oh she gets in there
Medical staff: (Laughing out loud)
PD : She... She knows..
Vet : Guess she recognizes that it's hers. Hey~ Yumi
Surprisingly, this was a ward where Yumi'd been fighting for her life, getting all the treatments for over three months
Vet : Literally we've raised her for two to three months..
It almost feels like we've scooped her out of death.. Makes us all feel proud somehow..
When all said this won't be easy.. Her agony won't come to an end..
But thanks to the medical staffs who didn't give up on Yumi's life
In no time, her wounds are sealed and began to grow out new flesh
Slowly gained strength, and finally opened up her heart
Ho-Seop : It's like visiting her parent's home
Vet : Honored to be called parents really
Yumi who brought us a miracle.. How'd be the test results?
Vet : What we worried about most was this CRP rate, the level of skin infection.
But the rate has got back to normal as the skin has been recovered
And, there's no sign of lung damage found from the breast radiography,
Where teeth fractures were, was stitched up well, and healed perfectly at the moment
Back then, no one ever knew Yumi would be back this health and well..!
Yumi came back in her best shape, more than ever, and that's all we could ask (for Christmas present)
Nurse : Yumi~ Good bye Vet : Bye Yumi. Come around sometimes, I'll get you some toys to play with
Yumi showed what hope on the verge of a cliff really is!
Ho-Seop : A lot of people offered help in which Yumi was able to get whatever she needs for treatment.
There were loads who supported us as well, so we would like to thank them too
Well, for now, I'll constantly offer Yumi further treatment while she's under my protection, even though it's temporary
But if anyone would like to take Yumi as part of your family, Please contact us personally
Hope there's another miracle to come through..
