Production crew: Hello, this is Kritter Klub
Informant: You know the expression 'Someone is as skinny as a toothpick' it looks like a spynx cat
you can see its bones and it looks like a wild animal. I couldn't get my head around it even when I'm back home
A call about a hairless and bony stray dogs...
The production crew went to the said location
Production crew: Huh?
A dog shows itself up out of the tent
the dog does look like a spynx cat, hairless
He is too skinny, you could almost see thier bones through his skin
Then, he starts to scratch his body
His entire body is red and looks serious
Production crew: There is another dog
and it seems like there are more dogs like this
Another one sitting in a corner all exhausted..
Production crew: It's okay, it's okay
Terrified by the stranger, the dog started acting flustered
What happened to them that made them like this?
Local: They are ill, I think. They are always so spiritless, always
Local: Oh, it's been a while now. I saw 4 dogs when I started working out as spring came
Locals say that they appeared last spring in that state
One of the dog started walking towards somewhere
Having a close look...we could see that it was drinking out of a tire
Production crew: Oh my.. you were thirsty...
in a tire, there is old and dirty water..
The production crew hurriedly got some fresh water for them
and poured some dog food for them to feed on, too
Once the food is ready, they come and eat it
Production crew: There are beehives over there
Now we see, in the place the dogs are staying, there are a lot of beehives
So many questions are raised... why are there so many beehives and what the dogs are doing in this place?
Under the cover that the dogs hide
there are dog houses
and we even found a chain that looks like a dog leash
We asked around the village to gather more information
And..!
Cafe owner: The dogs have an owner/ They do? / Yes
The neighbour says that they have an owner
Cafe owner: There used to be a beefarm, I think they belong there
Production crew: Is the bee farmer the owner? Cafe owner: He must be.
Local: I thought he brought the dogs to keep his beehives safe
If it is true that they have an owner, why have they been so neglected?
Not getting help from anywhere, they were living, relying only on themselves
Locals stop by and give them fresh water sometimes
Local : Come here and eat some
and give them snacks, too
At that time, a white dog approaches the beefarm
One gets up and wags its tail out of joy!
It's the first time that the dogs look so happy!
Soon, another white dog came around
They look like the puppies' parent dogs, but
they soon leaves and
the four puppies are left by themselves, again
That afternoon
a motorcycles enters into the beefarm
It's an old man
Production crew: Hello/ Yes?
Production crew: We're from Kritter Klub / Okay Are you the owner of this beefarm? / Yes
Production crew: Are they your dogs? Beefarm owner: No, they don't have an owner. They just came here from somewhere
PRoduction crew: So you're not the owner? / No, no
Caretaker: They are not his dogs, they are stray dogs. They gave birth here one day and made a family
He has been feeding them and taking care of them only because they kept coming here
A stray dog that grandpa used to take care of brought puppies with him one day
and grandpa started feeding the puppies, too, out of pity
But, their skin condition has gotten worse and it wasn't easy to look for adopters for them
Production crew: So how many dogs are there in total? / 6
Beefarm owner: The one with a collar is the dad, and the on without is the mom
As the day is getting hotter, their skin will get worse. We must rescue them ASAP
We called the rescue team right away
PRoduction crew: Hello/ Rescue team: Hello
Upon arrival, the rescue team starts setting up the rescue trap right away
Beefarm owner paid a visit around the time when we finished setting up the trap
and... a white dog followed him after!
as if he was waiting for this to happen, he doesn't fight it but goes into the cage
Easy peasy
Now, the puppies!
Smelling something delicious inside the trap, they easily come inside
Lures the other two in with a canned snack and...
All four puppies are rescued!
They have such a gentle personality, and so the rescue went so smoothly!
Papa dog and the 4 puppies are rescued
the mother dog is the only one left to rescue... but she won't show up
Has something happened to her?
Rescue team: I think we'll have to search around
The rescue team spread out and start to look for her
Yet, the mother dog is vanished
She's not showing up. There's so many strangers and unusual things. It's very hot, too so I think that's why she's not showing up. We'll have to try again when she does
Goodbye, go to a more comfortable place and get your skin treated Take care of them~ I hope they go to a more comfortable place than here
We took them to the hospital right away
Vet: So skinny~ Oh.. this must be itchy
I'll do a general check-up on their skin and will do a test to find out the cause of it
(Detailed examination)
Vet: Approximately, they are 4 months old tops
They must have been born with normal skin and hair.
But, while living outside there could've been a contact with wild animals or wild dogs which had contagious ticks
Along with that, the puppies' immunity has weakened drastically, the ticks must have spread the whole body
and then the secondary infections could've been made which worsened the skin disease even further
The skin disease spread their entire body because of their weak immunity, but, it's treatable!
They had a severe tick infection so we'll get rid of the ticks and will have a medicated bath. We'll use pills and shots to make the skin normal in the very end
They applied ointments on their damaged skin
and bathed them with prescribed shampoo that boosts their immunity!
After taking a bath, they look so different and pretty already!
Vet: Wow, you're so pretty!
Oh, this one just leaned on my hand
They spend the lonely days on the street, neglected...
thanks to the locals, they could be rescued!
We wish for all the happiness for them in their next chapter in life!
