In a town, we heard that
a dog who acts strange keeps showing up..
Informant : Seems to be serious.. even hard to walk properly.
Having a cough with pathetic sound...
PD : Hah, having a cough?
Yes
Seemed to be close to death. maybe within 2 or 3 days..
The dog was first found in a greenhouse
He was feebly lying down right here
Informant : We called 911.. and 911 checked the site,
but they may not rescue him yet.
Already tried to rescue the dog several times, but failed.
PD : Here are a tuna can and a meal
It was weird that the dog hasn't eaten the meal given by locals for days..
Where is the doggo..?
Local : Over there!!
PD : Yeah?
Local : There he is!
PD : Behind there??
As we carefully approach the place he is..
Could find the dog running improperly.
The dog staggers and..
his hair sparsely fell out..
Even the body is so bony...
His health must be in a serious condition.
We rushed to chase him from behind.
The doggo hiding behind a construction site to avoid humans' eyes
But his movement is weird..
He keeps shaking his head up and down, and repeats it..
Informant : The dog must be exhausted since he has been doing for long.
He repeats doing that whenever I see him....
Really don't know why..
The doggo can't even keep still for a sec and
suffers with intensly shaking his head.
As soon as humans get closer,
he just leaves away in a hurry..
PD : Is he wary of hoomans?
Informant : Yes, he seems to extremely avoid hoomans.
Phew.. going that way again..
Locals couldn't help the dog since he's been extremely wary of humans..
Local : He's just a dumb animal unlike humans..that dog..
Local : I've never seen a dog who walks around with a cough
The dog keeps avoiding humans with sickness and pain..
Because he runs away whenever human tries to feed him,
the poor dog is still bony
He can't even climb up on a low waterway..
As hard as he tries, he still can't stop convulsing..
Walks only a few steps ahead and
just plunks down on the ground..
His energy is declining day by day..
As he endures the agony shaking his whole body from the feet to the head,
the dog has roamed the village over a month now.
Well, I think his owner may abandon him...
Local : Anyhow, he's not the dog living in our town.
Local : You know, we've never seen that dog a month ago.
Maybe someone abandoned him because of illness.
Informant : It's geographically hard for a dog to visit here alone.
The village is surrounded by a mountain,
so it's quite hard for a stray dog to come by this place, and a strange thing is..
Local : Wander around here.. Here and below there where a farmer's hut is..
The dog wanders around a construction site on the road all-day
PD : Came out, came out!
The dog hides at a construction site first and comes out to the road.
Then, she stands still..
Despite there're some noisy cars passing under construction..
He stands still.
Local : Even if the dog walks around the other place, she comes back
and disappears and appears again.
Don't know why.. but
she goes around here only and comes by this construction site.
Seems to leave away..
The dog climbs up to the higher place and stares at the street again
As if she waits for someone..
A lady often feeds the dog as the dog looks pathetic
Local : A human with stroke is even hard to eat..
Since the dog shakes her neck..
not sure whether she can eat
The food has been ready and we waited for a while
PD : Came out, came out!!
The dog may see the meal..
But only walks around the meal and doesn't get closer..
No matter how long we wait, the dog did not approach at all.
The sun sets..
Where are the sick and bony dog doing now..
Just worried abt him who didn't feed at all..
At that moment!
Found the dog who sits crouched in a corner
The dog suffers from constant convulsion even at the moment she lies down..
Although she changes her postures many times, the convulsion is not weakened.
Maybe even hard for her to endure, she gets more exhausted.
It's the perfect time to rescue him!
The dog doesn't even move even if the locals approach her..
PD : She doesn't move
Informant : She's quite in bad condition.
PD : Can't move?
Local : Yeah.. can't move at all..
Informant : Aigoo.. Look her condition..
must go through hardships...
looks completely exhausted..
How have the dog endured in this bad condition till now..
By lifting her in his arms,
we rush to transfer the dog to a safe place
Seems the dog who has avoided humans can't even have any power to resist..
Sit down.. Sit down here and take a rest
Here.. get some water.. water.. drink water
Tried to let the exhausted dog drink water..
Local : Maybe too surprised to drink..
Informant : Maybe surprised.. drink.. hey!
You should drink water and lighten up..!
Locals getting worried..
As time passes by,
her health condition gets worse
At this late hour, Vet rushed to arrive at the village
As soon as the vet arrives, she checks up the dog's condition
Vet : The dog has a typical neurological symptom.
There're various causes of the symptom, it most certainly is caused by measles.
Vet : If most dogs have measles,
half of them can lose their lives after 3 weeks.
What the dog endures all hardships without any treatment means that she mostly retains her mental strength..
It's miraculous to survive as I've seen...
If the dog still has measles, the symptom can get worse..!
Vet gave first aid to the dog who has starved for long
Since the dog lightens up, we gave her some food and..
Finally, she begins eating..
Informant : Eat up slowly..!
Vet : Assumed the dog used to feed pet food.
It's not that easy to feed in this condition..
She is more likely to be a pet dog as someone fed and raised her at house..
As the dog eats well, the locals worrying abt her relieved.
After passing the crisis, the dog fell asleep well..
The next early morning, the medical examination began.
Vet : Now we will extract the cerebrospinal fluid to figure out whether the dog has measles.
How can the seriously exhausted dog
endure this tough course of treatment..
Vet : If the dog has measles,
the neurological symptom can worsen and occur convulsion or epilepsy.
In that case,
may have to do euthanasia so measles is scary..
That's why measles is so scary..
If the result is measles..
May have to seriously consider to take an extreme decision..
Three days later..
PD : How abt the result?
Vet : Yes.. Just had the result. Fortunately, she doesn't have measles.
The dog overcame that dreadful illness 'measles' herself
Then, is there any solution to the convulsion..?
Vet : Unfortunately.. that neurological disorder won't be healed..
But, I'll try for her to take alternative medicines so as to relieve the symptom.
Meanwhile, in the village..
Informant : Today is the day our Miss.Mindeulle comes here,
so we are preparing a house just for her.
PD : Have you named her as Mindeulle(means Dandelion)'?
Informant : Yes, I found the dog in a dandelion garden.. (that's why)
With the pretty name 'Mindeulle'
and a warm house~
The village people decided to take care of Mindeulle who roamed the village for long..!
The dog directly goes into her house as soon as she gets off the car!?
As if she quite likes the new house, she looks around
and even gladly wags a tail hehe
Local : Awww so pretty..
It's a fate so we will do our best to love and care for the dog.
Local : Now she has been our own family as we had a bond so far..
Informant : Our local residents will take care of her with all our hearts.
With the full of love by villagers..
Wish they make another miracle once again...♡
