Bokdung, whom they haven’t been able to pat once for the last 5 years
It’s been a month since receiving the solution
How much Bokdung would have changed?
Grandpa: Come here~ Bokdung~ come here
Still, he’s a very good boy listening well
He eats the snack on grandma’s knee..?
He even eats the snack off grandma’s thigh, himself!
Grandma: Look, he eats this and this. He’s a fast learner
Producer: Wow~ he eats snacks placed on your body?
Grandma: He does. Now he does
He even brings his face up close
Grandma: Hahahaha.. He’s good, right~? Very good~?
While at it..
Producer: Woah!!!!
Grandma shows off as it’s a miraculous thing with a huge smile haha
Grandma: Haha his nose bumped here!! Did you see that?!
Grandma: One more time!
Grandpa: I think my wife’s really awesome
The production crew gives it a try…
Producer: Bokdung!
Now simple touches are natural
Grandma: Ah.. it feels surreal
Grandpa: Let’s go exercise, Bokdugn! Come out!
Now they really do look like a family together
Grandma: Bokdung, come here
Producer: Wow~
Grandma: He’s such a good boy haha
Producer: Hahaha he does come when you ask him to
Grandma: Yes~ he comes when I tell him to~
Like a reliable bodyguard, he stays by her side and has eye contact with her
Grandma: Come up here
Grandma: Awwie, good job! Wow~
Producer: Wow, he does come up~
Grandma: Perfectly. He came up clean. Very well.
Producer: Does he go up like that?
Grandma: He does~ he does it well~ Awwie~
Grandma: Cheek kiss!
Producer: Wow~
Grandma: This is good enough. Since I can hug him like this. My Bokdung
Awwie~ this is the best so far. His best!
Grandma: Bokdung~ do you like it like this? Mommy likes it too~
Grandma’s just impressed having waited desperately for this very day to feel each other’s warmth
Grandma: My wish is to take him to the hospital, as we never have
I want to take him to get him vaccinated and stuff
and also I wish I can give him a bath. That’s all
Producer: A bath?
Grandma: Yes. He bolts into his house even to a single raindrop, scared
Will it be possible..?
Expert: Even the fellas who are well-socialized hate touching water but,
in Bokdung’s case, he’s never been socialized and due to skin disease in youth he’s very sensitive to something touching his body
Expert assumes it will be harder than having him accept human touches
Decided to challenge a bath carefully under the expert’s guidance
Splashing water on his leg slowly…
Bokdung is restless and even
started snapping, which he’s never done before…
He has opened up his heart with difficulty, but perhaps a bath was too much on him…
Grandpa: Bokdung~ Grandma: Bokdung~ let’s get in here~
Bokdung refuses unbendingly despite grandma’s plea
Change of plan
Expert: What we can use right now are a type of wipes you can find at a market. It lathers if you rub it a lot.
With that, it’s important to get rid of the fear of something touching his body while wiping his body clean
Grandma: He didn’t get washed for 5 years, so it’s black
Although he doesn’t like water, since he doesn’t have any adverse reaction to the elderly couple’s touches, cleans his body thoroughly
Feels great just watching it
After tissue-bath and grooming are all done…
ready for an adventure!
First time going out in 5 years
Producer: Let’s go~
Bokdung’s first time going out of the countryside village on a car
Grandma: Oh my!
Grandma: He’s in my arms now. Look at that~ Producer: Awwie~
Grandma: I'm so blessed! What am I gonna do?
And naturally, he leans on grandma’s knees
Grandma: It looks as if I’m holding a baby. He’s the baby, the youngest baby
Expert: Youngest baby? 5-year-old dog in human age would be in the early 40s or late 30s
Grandpa: Then that means he’s still quite young~
Grandma: He’s looking outside! He’s looking outside the window~
Seems he’s adapted he even enjoys the view outside the car
Meanwhile, at the village..!
Busy preparing a special surprise gift for the elderly couple and Bokdung
Arrived at the animal hospital
The elderly couple who saved the dying fella had always been bothered by how he’s never been thoroughly examined in the last 5 years
Finally, today their wish comes true!
Vet: Since it’s Bokdung’s first time at the hospital and as he’s too scared and reacts sensitively
we’re going to have to sedate him a bit and proceed with the examinations
Health examinations began after sedation
Vet: Although he was let loose, you guys took care of him continuously and fed him preventive medicines. So his health is much better than I expected and overall, his health is fine
Grandma: Thank you. My burden’s been reduced. Producer and director, thank you
Vet: We’ll give him a shot for rabies~
While everyone’s happy hearing his healthy
the surprise gift has been completed as well
Grandpa: Woah look at this photo, this photo hahaha
Grandpa: It’s a great photo! Photo of Bokdung
Grandma: I’m so happy~ Producer: Are you?
Grandpa: Yes, thank you!
This time, real owner’s turn!
Grandma: Go home~
Grandma: Look at him~ Grandpa: He goes right inside~
Grandma: Told him to go home he goes right in~
Grandma: Listening to grandpa so well, what a good boy!
A snackie for the good boy♡
Producer: Did you ever think you’d have this kind of experience?
Grandpa: Oh~~ no, never Grandma: Never have I thought either
Grandma: It’s a beautiful memory
Producer: Beautiful memory
Grandma: It’s a beautiful memory…
We wish dearly for this happiness to continue on for ever and ever
