Guardian: Olmang~ Olmang~
Looking inside the house, there is a dog, curled up
Guardian: Olmang~
The dog doesn't even give her a look
Production crew: She doesn't come out? Guardian: Yes, from one day, she went in and wouldn't come out.
She just stays like that
It's been 50 days since Olmang locked herself inside the house..
Guardian: She avoids people's eyes...
Olmang is nervous at stranger's visit...
Guardian: Olmang, eat some
Guardian: Olmang~ Have some
She doesn't show any reaction to delicious food before her
Guardian: She doesn't eat when people's around
Olmang doesn't eat or move...
Why has she isolated herself from the world...
However, we spotted another dog house next to Olmang's house
Guardian: Olmang and another puppy Wal, we had two and Wal passed away
Olmang is left alone after the sudden death of her old friend Wal
After that day
she locked herself in the house...
Inside the cage of pain and emptiness
Olmang must have been dealing with the pain all by herself
Animal behaviorist: She had no social connection with humans whatsoever
but only with Wal
Since the only connection was broken,
it must have been too difficult for her to handle
Vet: Olmang is under extreme depression and stress.
With Wal, her only friend, passing away... She has no-one. She's alone..
Guardian: I fed her and pat her...
but I feel like I only did it to make myself feel good and that I hadn't been a good guardian..
We want to let Olmang know that she is not alone..
We need to approach her without causing distress
Animal behaviourist: Dogs touch with their nose when they are interacting and socializing
It means 'Get up, let's play!'
So let's do that on Olmang and see how she reacts to construct the next solution
The expert himself decided to approach her in dog's way
As the expert enters in, Olmang is startled
He approaches with a dog nose on
Yet, Olmang doesn't show any reaction
She shivers even when she's touched slightly
PD: Oh, she's shivering
Animal behaviorist: She shivers and she's all tense
Animal behaviorist: She cannot manage her mentality straight. She cannot come up with an idea as to what to do
Olmang lost the will to win this situation herself..
It feels awful to see her like this
Animal behaviourist: We should give her a place in an empty room where it has some hiding spots (for her to feel comfortable)
We cannot leave her alone, we decided to take her outside
PD: She's out!
Vet: Are you feeling okay? Let's go~
Olmang is outside in 60 days
She didn't eat or move, we hope her health is okay
Vet: She's healthy, no abnormalities are found so that's good. Her issue is psychological..
It'll need time to heal
Animal behaviourist: Give her some time until she leans on you
Olmang is not used to being held in someone's arms...
Animal behaviourist : Turn the lights off please!
We make the place a little darker so that she can feel comfortable
Guardian: I can feel pressure on my right arm Animal behaviorist: Right now? Guardian: Yes
Olmang is slowly relaxing and she leans on the guardian
And the guardian comforts her with her heart
The next day
Guardian: Olmang, eat some
She started eating!!
Guardian: She eats well
Perhaps, the guardian's heart is conveyed
Olmang enjoys her meal even when people are around
Guardian feels sorry for not knowing her feeling
Guardian: It must have been hard..
Olmang looks so much better already!
One more thing!
Animal behaviourist: An office is where people work.
There are people 24/7 so it could be the best place for Olmang to spend time in
The best cure for Olmang is to spend some time around people
We decided to give her a house where there are people
PD: She doesn't get startled, right? Guardian: No, she doesn't
Guardian: I realized again that dogs suffer the same as humans, and I will try harder
Guardian: From now on, I'll give her more affection and care, and become a good friend to her
Olmang, you don't have to be alone anymore, we're here for you..★
