Oh, there he is
A dog lying down helplessly
To see what happened
Staff approach him
Then, the dog barks and comes out
Looks like he has no problem
As we get closer
The dog chases the staff aggressively
Wait, there's one more
Someone's out there on the riverside
One more dog is by the river?
But..
The dog is too wary..
We can't even go near there..
Then, the dog sits in
The other one doesn't move at all
The other dog doesn't move at all
Due to his severe wariness
No choice but to observe them from a distance..
The dog seems to wake the other on with his feet
Arong~ Arong~
As someone approaches
Arong barks even harder
Are you his owner?
I'm not. My dog passed away
Your dog passed away? / Yes
Then, the white dog next to him is..
Yeah, that's my dog
Grandpa's dog, Darong
passed away long time ago..
I wanted to bury my dog, but he kept trying to bite my legs
With his eyes being red, he ran into me
So I had to left them
Arong never lets anyone touch the carcass
He doesn't leave or eat anything
while protecting his dead wife
How long has he been like that?
For 13 days
13 days..?! / Yes
To the dog who protects Darong's dead body
Grandpa named him Arong
And has been feeding him
Arong~ Arong~
Even to grandpa
Arong never lets people get close
More than 10 days
Arong looks after Darong
Without eating anything
Oh, he licks her
Licks for sure
Then
He tries to push the carcass
Does he think that it will wake her up
He turns the carcass from here to there
To revive her
Perhaps he thinks that she's still alive?
I guess so too
How were they related to each other?
They were a couple
His wife died while she was giving birth to a puppy
Arong was the father of them
On the day when the puppy were born between them
This is the puppy's grave
The puppy died right after he was born
Followed by the puppy's death, the mother dog passed away
In the evening on that day, I heard her groaning
So I looked inside the dog's house thinking she might give a birth
But the puppy was dead already when he was born
And the mama dog was lying down helplessly
When grandpa was burying the dead puppy
Arong took his wife's dead body and ran away
5 months ago, Arong showed up
and lived with Darong
They always played by the river
Maybe that's why
Arong took her dead body to the riverside
Grandpa feels bad for seeing Arong like that
Darong was my only family
Just two of us
I have a son, but he moved out. So I live alone
You must feel bad now
Yes..
It reminds me of my wife who passed away
and think animals are better than humans
To avoid the freezing wind
Arong moves Darong's carcass
He hides the carcass in the place to be unnoticed by people
Perhaps Arong has his owner?
I don't know him
Do you know anyone who raised that dog?
No, we don't
No one knows about Arong
The rain starts to drop
There's no place to avoid the rain on the riverside
I'm afrait he'll die as he has starved in such cold weater
Even with the rain
He never leaves his wife, Darong
To rescue Arong
Experts have arrived
Vet : 3-4 days after the animal's death, the body starts to decay
I'm concerned about Arong's health
Since he's been protecting the dead body over 2 weeks
The rescue that the grandpa couldn't proceed by himself
has started
As the rescue team approaches
He starts to become very wary again
Runs around and barks at the same time
We'll go slow
Let's pick up the carcass first, and then rescue Arong
When Arong is far from the carcass
Doctors approaches it
Vet :Oh no..
I found the remains of the umbilical cord
The cause of her death might be a dystocia while delivering a puppy
Arong wanders nearby
It's hard for Arong to understand this situation
where his wife's dead body is moved
He is no longer able to be with Darong
He's looking for the carcass
Aww.. what should we do
The place where Darong lied down
As he can't find her trace
He looks around crazily
He has been staying with her every single day
But she's not there anymore
It breaks my heart, he's better than humans
Sadly but..
It's time to let go of Darong
Rescuer : Can't find the dog in this side, can you?
He's down there
He's inside the bush
The rescue starts
Gets Arong with the capture net
Don't let him go up, block the way up there
By closing in on all sides
The rescue team approaches Arong
Take it slow
Carefully gets close to Arong while not scaring him
Gotcha
Safely rescue Arong
Thank you for saving him. He must have died if we left him there
I'll take care of Arong
The grandpa decides to become his family
He hasn't eaten or slept properly for 13 days
Wander how his health condition would be
Also, checks the cause of Darong's death
According to X-ray results of Darong
The fetus doesn't exist inside
In conclusion, the blood poisoning in her abdominal cavity might have occurred
due to retained placenta (Lacks in discharge of placenta)
The infection during the delivery of birth is the cause
Generally, the decay starts faster around eyes than other skin areas
The skin decay around Darong's eyes area has not developed
Which means that Arong has licked Darong repeatedly for a long time
Arong always licked Darong
Perhaps what makes the decay process go slow on Darong
Was Arong's love to her
Look at you, so handsome now!
As you can see, he's very healthy
What is left for Arong is living happily with the grandpa
A few days later
Arong and the grandpa visits the riverside again
The spot where Darong lied down
Arong has another family now
I'll be good to you that I couldn't for Darong
Let's live together
Arong couldn't forget about his past lover
Wish you find new happiness<3
