On a sunny day, the dog waits for someone.
A special relationship brought together like magic.
The fairytale-like story of Poppy and Nyaong begins.
A house in the countryside where the main character of the story lives.
The dog starts barking at the camera all of a sudden...
Auntie: It's okay, it's okay. Why are you barking like this! It's okay.
When the auntie stops the dog, it is only then the dog turns around.
The dog heads to the other main character, Nyaong.
One day, the two were stuck like glue, always together no matter what.
Auntie: Poppi wouldn't think to head inside her house, she just lives out here with Nyaong.
Poppi abandoned the house she lived in for 10 years
Poppi then started living together in a palm-sized house with Nyaong.
But...
There's something wrong with Nyaong's hind legs?
Bandaged hind legs...
It seems as though she's taking a rest after using up a lot of energy from walking even a short distance.
How did Nyaong end up like this?
Auntie: There was a cry in the grass field, so I went over to look. She seemed as though she can't use her legs so I brought her in.
Nyaong was a stray cat who came to visit her house every day for food.
But...
The woman found the cat severely injured a month ago.
Thanks to Poppi's care, Nyaong is doing much better than how she was back then.
Poppi takes care of her with utmost sincerity as if she is her own baby.
Now Nyaong is basically a member of this family.
Not only Poppi, but the auntie takes care of the cat by applying liniment for the hind legs.
As the bandages are taken off, it's pitiful to look at the wounds on the legs.
As soon as Poppi saw Nyaong's wounds, she begins to lick them and licks them again.
Auntie: Sigh...It hurts, huh? Oh my goodness...
Auntie: Aw, you're doing well. When will you get better?
Poppi looks as if she's worried the whole time.
So as soon as the woman leaves, she begins to lick again.
Man: At first, the cat rejected the dog a lot. When Poppi came near, she scratched her and meowy punched her.
Man: But then one day, when I woke up the next morning, I found that the two became very close.
Man: So Poppi started to lick her and helped her with pooping and peeing.
That's how the two became special best friends, not like the other.
Now Nyaong is dependant on Poppi 24/7/
Auntie: Nyaong, let's eat!
Because she's injured, she has no choice but to pay more attention to her nutrition.
The special meal today is fish!
Poppi watches over Nyaong who is eating well.
She looks like she's hungry too...
Gave her a bite-size piece, but she only smells it and doesn't eat it.
She does look like she wants to eat it though...
Tried to give her it one more time, but she just avoids it and doesn't eat it again.
She just watches closely at the cat eating and doesn't ever take a bite.
This time woman gives her a whole bowl, but she takes a step backward!
No matter what, Poppi doesn't eat.
Perhaps, she doesn't like fish?
Auntie: She's not eating 'cause of Nyaong. She only eats when Nyaong's finished eating. Then she eats the leftovers.
In fact, Poppi starts to eat now as Nyaong turns away from the food after feeling full.
She really finishes the leftover food...
Finished a whole bowl of it.
When she's finished eating, she takes care of Nyaong without taking a break.
Daughter: Mom!
Family member who lives in a different place came to visit.
Kkami, who is known to be an old friend of Poppi.
But she's being so feisty towards her friend...
Maybe it's because of Nyaong who gotten scared from seeing Kkami whom she's seen for the first time.
Kkami got cold feet from Poppi's quite rude attitude.
But Poppi becomes even more feisty...
Daughter: Poppi, why are you being like this? Huh?
Daughter: Why??
Daughter: Why I said!
Daughter: Look at this one...!
Thanks to reliable Poppi, Nyaong falls asleep feeling reassured.
Daughter: I think she's behaving like this because of the cat.
Daughter: Don't you know Kkami? You used to be so docile.
Daughter: Kkami got scared...She is really scared.
Daughter: Kkami, you're scared?
Starts guarding Nyaong again.
Doesn't care about an old friend as long as Nyaong can stay safe.
That afternoon
Nyaong taking a comfortable nap
But she's alone?
Nyaong looks anxious as Poppi who was always by her side is nowhere to be seen...
In the end, she drags her sick body and begins to search for her.
It's already hard enough for her to walk around using her two legs
but seeing her walking even if she bears wounds as she drags her hind legs, it's such a pity.
Finally, she sees Poppi!
Nyaong uses all her energy to be under Poppi's warm embrace.
In return, Poppi licks every inch of Nyaong's body.
Nyaong stays still feeling happy.
On the other hand, the woman is busy.
It's the only time Nyaong leaves Poppi's side that happens once a day.
After following,
she stops and stares at the door.
Even in the house, because of Nyaong who wants to go out and be by Poppi's house...
Auntie: Right now, she's trying to find her mother (Poppi)
The woman started steaming Nyaong's legs.
Because Nyaong's injured, she wants to take her in the house, but...
Auntie: Because of Poppi, I can't.
Auntie: It's okay to bring her in the house, but I can't cause of Poppi.
Producer: Why's that?
Auntie: Because Poppi keeps looking for her outside, so I can't.
Just as expected...
Poppi waits outside the door for Nyaong.
Nyaong, too, runs towards her as soon as she's done.
Auntie: Oh my, oh my!
Like that, Nyaong meets Poppi again.
Auntie: Oh my goodness...
Auntie: Because she's walking like that her feet are all scratched off like that. I don't know what I should do.
No matter how much medication was put on it, she drags her legs, so it doesn't have time to heal.
Is there a way to treat Nyaong's legs?
At the hospital
What went wrong that made her legs crippled?
Vet: There are around two or so fractures.
It's surprising to see that she's even alive seeing an injury this severe and the fact that she never visited a big animal hospital for it.
Vet: Nerve damage is severe, and she suffers a lot of pain from the damaged nerve.
Vet: So it's not likely that the incomplete paralysis will improve.
Unfortunately, there's little chance that Nyaong will get better than how she is now.
As soon as she arrives home, the woman is very busy.
Vet: In the case of Nyaong, she'll need to be strictly restricted from exercise.
Vet: Excessive exercise that affects the nerves around the fracture should not be allowed.
Vet: For psychological stability, she'll need Poppi's help.
To add to that, the woman made a home with restricted space as recommended by the vet.
Auntie: Oh my, now you won't get scratched anymore. So your legs will heal soon if you live here.
Auntie: Hey, Poppi
Auntie: Please take care of Nyaong well.
No matter what happens in the future, Poppi and Nyaong will be together until the end♡
