‘Bokgil’ the dog who refuses owners’ hands for over a year and a half
Will Bokgil be able to open up his heart to his family..?
Bokgil’s papa: Bokgil~
Bokgil’s papa: Bokgil!
As his owner calls his name, Bokgil freezes
Even trembles like a leaf
Bokgil’s papa: I won’t. No, I won’t, come here. It’s okay~
When he tries to approach him, he’s busy avoiding him insecurely
Shivering…
Bokgil’s papa: I’m not going to hurt you~ come here
He trembles in fear, scared to death as if he'd suffered from something bad!
Bokgil’s papa: Okay, go, go! Ohhhhhh
Only thing he did was approach him and say a few words, but Bokgil’s extremely startled
Bokgil’s papa: Go! I won’t
Bokgil’s papa: Haven’t been able to hold him once. This fella.
Bokgil’s mama: For over a year and a half doesn’t let us touch him.
Since he runs away even if we want to pet him, we can’t…
Why does Bokgil tremble upon seeing his owners, not letting them by his side..?
Bokgil’s mama: Aww~ pretty. Awwie, no, no!
Bokgil’s mama: If we can go on a stroll or something that would be so great…
But since he’s so scared he can’t come to people…
If it wasn’t for the leash, Bokgil would have run away already
Bokgil’s mama: Bokgil!
Bokgil, come here~
Even to her sweet voice, scared of something he’s totally frozen
Today again, treated poorly by Bokgil, the lady steps back and watches him from afar
Bokgil’s mama: Seeing him like that I’d think he would approach but…
Hoping he’d accept them, they've been roaming around Bokgil every now and then!
But even upon hearing the owners’ footsteps, Bokgil is on guard
Trembling in fear and terror
What’s so fearful and scary about his family he’s lived with for a year and a half..?
To open up Bokgil’s heart, the owner couple has put countless efforts for the past year and a half
Bokgil’s mama: No, now~ Bokgil, have some! It’s hot
Even with scrumptious food, Bokgil wouldn’t budge
Bokgil’s mama: Bokgil, I’ll leave it here!
Approaching him, again he runs away quickly
No matter how tasty the food, seems like he won’t eat what the owner gives him
Bokgil’s mama: Oh, okay~
Okay! Okay! Here, here! I’ll leave it there!
Smacks his lips, but doesn’t come near
Bokgil just waits until the owner lady disappears from his sight
Even then for a long while, can’t put his guard down
The owner lady doesn’t have any choice but to look at him from afar
Production crew: Why are you watching him from here?
Bokgil’s mama: I mean, he can only eat when (I’m) not there
So that’s why he’s staring this way, there
As if he doesn’t even like being watched from afar, Bokgil doesn’t let his guard down regarding the owner couple until the end
Bokgil’s mama: The food is intriguing to him but…
For Bokgil who wouldn’t let down his guard, the owner lady leaves the scene
How long must have passed, he begins to move bit by bit!
Holding his breath, becomes wary of his surroundings and approaches the bowl carefully, crawling
Bokgil’s mama: Oh, he’s eating now…
Bokgil fills up his stomach wolfing down the food in an insecure posture ready to take off
At that moment, as if startled by something he crouches
Due to fear and anxiety that overpowers him in any time, he isn’t able to have even one meal peacefully
Bokgil’s papa: He really worries us
Cuz no matter how much we show affection towards him or feed him meat, he’s still like that…
Bokgil’s mama: I mean, can’t do anything. Even if we go to his side, he runs away
So since he’s so scared, there’s nothing we could do for him
No matter how much they offer their hands or try talking to him, Bokgil wouldn’t open up
Overshadowing the saying that goes time heals all
From the first day they met until now, he has been unchangingly avoiding the owner couple!
Bokgil’s papa: Bokgil, at a near region by
he was caught in a snare
rescued him and brought him to our place…
An abandoned dog in a terrible appearance found in the mountain behind the village
Witness: Here!
Production crew: Here?
The fella who was dying caught in a snare was Bokgil!
Witness: He was like this (caught in a snare)
Since it (snare) was so big
with such a tiny leg of his, he couldn’t get out
He couldn’t budge
Caught in a snare, he wasn’t able to budge, covered in blood
Rescued such fella and gone through several operations, but eventually, lost one of his foot
Unable to send the pitiful fella back onto the streets, the owner couple have embraced him as their family
But perhaps due to having experienced such a terrible thing
he couldn’t shake off the fear and terror even towards the owner couple who helped him…
They’ve waited and waited, but even after a year and a half Bokgil doesn’t seem to get any better
Bokgil’s papa: Bokgu was an abandoned dog, too but for him maybe a month or a month and a half?
(He was wary) but after then started getting along well with us…
He would wag his tail and greet us
Despite Bokgu also being once an abandoned dog, becoming his family wasn’t this hard
Production crew: This fella (Bokgu) loves it?
Bokgil’s papa: Yes, this one~ frantic, frantic, he loves it so much!
Rather, since Bokgu came to this house, he’s become brighter
Bokgil’s papa: Aw, feeling great?
If he was like this.. If Bokgil is like this, how great would that be
Bokgil’s mama: Aww~ pretty. Come here.
Bokgil, oh oh oh!
But if they take a step forward, Bokgil takes two steps backward
Since they know better than anyone the painful and difficult times he spent on the streets, they put as much effort as they can, but doesn’t work
Bokgil’s papa: Don’t just crouch there, just once…
Come here, let’s go! Let’s go~
Tries to close the distance, but Bokgil struggles, scared to death
Bokgil’s papa: I won’t~ I won’t~ Just sit
Like an impregnable fortress, Bokgil has built a wall in his heart and refuses everything
Due to the struggle continuing more than a year and a half, rather than feeling sad, the owner just feels pitiful and heavy
Even to the owner couple who saved him and put their best effort into him, he has closed the door to his heart
What did he go through on the streets..?
