A white dog wandering around the neighborhood
The local residents who feel pity for the dog
feed her..
At the moment we're watching her path,
Uh, there she is. The dog came here
The dog finally came to eat food.
She's looking around as if she's vigilant.
By the way, we noticed something strange on the dog's neck..
The leash chocking her neck
Maybe because of the leash, the dog doesn't eat much food
and just leaves the place with wariness
The dog even throws up everything she's just eaten.
Informant : I think she can't swallowing anything right.
They have tried to rescue the dog several times but
she's been so alert that she's failed every time.
We tried to chase after the dog, but...
Where did she go?
The dog's so fast and it's hard to follow the dog because here's the mountain road.
The dog's suddenly gone like the wind
But villagers say she will be showing up soon again.
Informant : The dog usually stays in betwen the hills and the fields
Sure enough, she showed up again.
Because there's a lack of food in the mountain
The dog always comes down to the town looking for food
Informant : Her neck was in shreds and severely wounded
Informant : The wounds almost became black
The dog urgently needs to be rescued..
But she's very wary of humans, so
people can't even get closer to her
So we decided to keep an eye on her for now.
As the night has fallen,
the white dog came down near the field.
And then, she disappears somewhere.
There's a narrow drain near the place
where she disappeared last night!
PD : It's about a span long now, but how did she get in?
As the crew is carefully looking at the drain,
the white dog starts barking at the crew.
Is this drain the dog's hideout?
Local : It's called an agricultural drain. A pipe is laid on the drain.
It's about 50 meters long, I guess.
To look inside the drain,
We used endoscopy cameras
What's inside the drain?
As we looks deep inside for a while,
we found a puppy!
Aww.. it's moving.. Oh my..
The puppy is maybe the reason why the dog has been so wary?
There's only one found
How come there's only one puppy? / Well, in this little space,
Is there any other puppy in here?
Local : I don't think the dog would give birth to only one puppy.
Something must have happened before. What happened to the dog..?
The dog was pregnant with a leash chocked on her neck
She might not have been able to protect all her puppies in poor condition
She might have found this narrow drain
to protect the last one puppy
We need to rescue her as soon as possible!
Vet : Since the mother dog is too wary,
We will first rescue the puppy with safety
While the mother dog went out for food,
We're going to rescue the puppy first.
The 50-meter-long drain which is so deep
After putting the equipment on the other side of the puppy,
we decided to use a way to push the puppy away
There's the puppy inside
The puppy was bewildered by the weird stuff
After waiting until the puppy completely gets out of it,
we finally rescued the puppy!
The puppy must've been startled by this sudden situation
Vet : As seeing the milk teeth. I think the puppy is about two months old.
The health condition seems good
Informant : That's good. The dog's is healthier than expected
So glad that the puppy is healthy
The next turn is the mother dog
We're now building a trap to catch the dog with safety.
The people who have been watching the white dog
built this capture trap.
After putting her puppy in the trap,
we just wait for the mother dog to come
Upon hearing the puppy crying,
the mother dog came running in a flash.
But she begins to look around with wariness
The dog is still suspicious and wary
While hovering around the trap
to get close to her puppy
As if she decides, the mother dog finally approaches!
But she turns back again
Upon hearing the desperate cry of her puppy,
the mother dog finally enters the capture trap.
Finally rescued the mother dog, too!
Vet : It's okay~~
The puppy means a lot to the mother dog.. That's why she came to find her puppy..
It's a relief that we could relieve her pain even now
Informant : I hope I can see the dog in good condition after getting treated soon
I want her to take some rest and grow up well with a good owner.
Just like the villagers' wishes,
we hope the dog can get well soon.
Suffering from being chocked by the leash,
the white dog has given birth and taken care of her puppy
Vet : The tissue came out through the leash hole and grew like a tumor, so
That area has been completely blocked by steel wires
It's the situation that we have to cut off the leash
It's more serious condition than expected
Can't even imagine how painful it must have been for her
It must have been hard to breathe and even swallow food, but
the mother dog had endured and endured for her puppy.
The vet says that it's hard to guarantee her life if the tumor is malignant.
How's the result?
Vet : Fortunately, it's comfirmed that it's not a tumor or lesions.
I think she'd be able to recover her health if her wound is well treated
The only thing she has to do now is just to live well
The puppy waiting for the mother dog
Although the anesthetic still had left her,
the mother dog's looking for her puppy
The mother dog doesn't care about her health and just
soothe her puppy who's anxious
Local : You've been through the surgery! So proud of you!
The villagers have watched the affectionate mother dog so far
New owner : I named her Seoltang(=sugar) to live the sweetest life
since she's gone through so much trouble
I will do my best
to help her live the happy life
The local resident decided to adopt both of dogs as a family.
We wish you to be safe and happy in the new family's embrace..♥
