There is no road leading back to land because it's an uninhabited island..
The dog looks skinny from the lack of eating and has lost a lot of hair
It's over there!! On top of the rock!
Towards the direction the man is pointing..
There were dogs..!
The dogs roam around when we approach them to give pet food and water
But they do not come closer...
They start to eat after we leave
Informant: I came here because I thought "It's strange.. it's not a place for dogs to stay.. why do I hear dogs?"
Then I found two dogs.. I gave food and water the next day onward..
PD: How long as it been since you've been feeding them?
Informant: It's been over a week
There is no road connecting to land..
There is only trash around the area
How did the dogs come here..
PD: It's okay, don't leave
The dog becomes wary as soon as the crew approaches
PD: Madam, did you try to rescue them?
Informant: I did. But at first they were hiding.. they came out when we left food and distanced ourselves
They have moved closer since we've been coming for a week
They tried to rescue them multiple times but it was of no use
However...
They have a leash so it looks like someone abandoned them..
Why did someone abandon them in an isolated area..?
I have to leave and you have to take the boat back as well..
I'll be back tomorrow~ goodbye!!
PD: What's the name of this island?
Mister: Sol Island
PD: Do people live here?
Mister: No one does. People used to in the past but everything is demolished
People used to live on Sol Island
SBS TV Animal Farm office
We contacted the local government
* Songdo (Sol Island) An island of Gyeolsangnam-do Tongyeong-si Hansanmyeon, an uninhibited island...
Tongyeong City Hall rep: We don't know much as well.. Did you call the Hansanmyeon office?
I think the township office would be more aware about the island..
Song Island office rep: I'm aware that Songdo is an uninhabited island
Writer: Do you have detailed information?
Office rep: I know it has a farm but I don't know how often people come and go for it
Do people who live near Sol Island know about it?
It's been decades since people lived there..
In 1974 or 1975? Spy boats from the north invaded the area so the government told everyone to emigrate...
Sol Island -> Song Island
In 1970, fishermen of the small island of Tongyeong were kidnapped to North Koreans. The government ordered everyone to clear the small islands
From then on, the island has become uninhabited
Does anyone know about the dogs?
I heard that there's a yellow dog roaming around,..
Was it a yellow one or black one..
I saw it once. There was no dog after the fisherman left..
How can a dog enter an island unless someone took the dog there..
People believe it could be a sailor
Someone can visit the island with their boat..
There is a ship rental nearby so boats can be ridden easily.
There is a big possibility that someone abandoned the dog on purpose..
Nureong~ here comes the dog
But something is strange..?
The state and position of the fridge looks different
PD: The position of the fridge has changed. Did someone move it?
Mister: When the tide is high at night the water fills up till here.. so the waves swept it away
The position of the refrigerator has changed because of the waves...
PD: What happens to the puppies when the tide is high?
Mister: They go up the mountain and when the tides are low.
They have nothing to eat so they pick up the fish thrown away and drifted from the farm
There are dead fish around the area.
But all of the fish are decomposed..
Luckily, there are two dogs
They might've depended on each other as they endured it..
The dogs look far away into the sea
Are they longing for the one that loved them cross the sea..
We only feel sad for these dogs
How could you abandon dogs on an island.. someone who took the boat must've abandoned them!
But why on an uninhabited island.. that's ridiculous..
If they were abandoned on the mountains, someone would've been around them
The person who abandoned them is is a bad person..
We have to rescue them
Animal Welfare Association: I think the dogs and the elderly have a bond..
If you give food on both sides, they will split into two parts.
We will rescue them with a net
We pretend that we're about to give food
And leave the food on the ground and wait..
Animal Welfare Association: 1, 2, 3
Missed one dog..
Animal Welfare Association: We prepared a small net because they looked skinny but they actually have long bodies
The dog's wariness has gotten worse..
We decided to give it a break
The dog stays further away upon seeing the rescue team..
I should get off the boat and catch it
We try to lead the dog with the other dog
But it's not easy...
Then!!
Nureong approaches the black dog!
PD: We caught it!!?
PD: Team leader! We caught it!
The rescue is a success!
Don't feel uneasy~ it's okay~ you suffered!
You suffered so much.. it's okay. No need to be scared..
The dogs finally leave the island after 10 days..!
We check to see if they have a microchip.
Vet: No microchip is found
How about their health..?
Vet: They have ticks because they were out in the wild.
They also have a skin disease because of the tangled hair.
On the radio therapy photo, foreign substances are found.
It looks like pieces of fish or sand.
They also had a heart worm for a long time..
Unfortunately, they have a heart worm..
We decided to cure them in hospital till they fully recover.
They have great personalities so if they meet a good owner, they'll be okay with adjusting.
They're eating well too!
Oh dear! Nureong!
The dogs wag their tails when they see the informant LOL
The informant feels at ease after seeing the dogs..
They are very active so despite being abandoned so they will receive a lot of love from people.
These friends have successfully finished their treatments and were adopted by good people♡
