In this peaceful place
little puppies are flooding out
How many lil puppers are here?
Pup: Erm, no interview pls
Guardian: There are 12 PD: 12? Oh my god
And the queen who has birthed all 12 pupperinos
must be this one!
Mister: She's San. She's been living with me for 4 years
San is taking care of 12 pupperinos and is exhausted
she has lost so much weight raising 12 pups
PD: She's so skinny Mister: I do feed her well
but she's taking care of 12 pups... they aren't all her pups even....
The puppers are not San's?
Mister: 7 are San's. 7 pups are, and the rest 5 are Gum's.
There she is. That's the one
That dog there is Gum, mother of 5 puppers...
Mister: Gum~ Come here. Let's eat
Even upon Mister's call, Gum doesn't come near but runs away
Gum has been avoiding the guardian for the past 2 years
(Gum: I'm FREE)
Misses: She doesn't even go that far. She's around watching here from afar
Keeping a distance, Gum wanders around the house
Gum has a house to stay, yet she still lives on the street
and 2 months ago
Mister: I heard pups whimpering in the mountains
I remember it snowed that day...
Gum has birthed to 5 pups at the corner of the yard
Mister: It was about 5 days after San's delivery, when I found Gum's pups
Gum left her pups who couldn't even open their eyes
San, who birthed around the same time started taking care of the pups instead
Gum appeared out of sudden
Pups are happy to see their momma
Puppers are trying to take advantage of momma's presence...
Mister: At first we tried to capture him, we did.
Yet, after that, she is warier of me and runs away even at eye contact. I can't capture her
After a few attempts at capturing her, there has been a misunderstanding
Lunchtime everyone has waited
As puppers are growing up, there are pups who are pushed down the hierarchy and eat less
and they are Gum's pups
Gum's pup: Fewd?
(Gum's pup: Let's not mess with him)
(Jeez, they all scawy)
San too, takes her pups side in conflict situations...!
San is exhausted mothering 12 pups
Does Gum know about this? Guardians feel sorry for the 5 subling pups
Mister: Gum hasn't been breastfeeding enough,
and it seems like San pushes Gum's pups away. I think Gum's pups are growing slowly
Guardians can't let this happen
What are they making..?
A chicken soup for their good health!
automatically waking up to the smell of it
Pup: Dis is why i'm in this world
and drawn to the food like magnets
San also seem delighted at the smell of delicious chicken soup
Mister: They are good for health, so i've been making it once a week
Add seaweed for mother dog, and voila!
Gum smelt it too and she comes around
Mister: She smelt it too, she came here
Yet, that's all she's doing, staring from afar
The largest portion goes to San for sure for all the hard work!
After San finishes her bowl
It's puppers to have some
Lastly
Mister puts out some for Gum
Misses: I think she wants it but she only wanders around cos we are near. We have to be farther away so she can enjoy
Stepping out a little farther so Gum can eat
She finally comes
(Pup: Hi mum. can I hab sum)
Mister: She must eat well and charge her energy so she can take care of the pups...
Gulped down
That afternoon
For San who's tired of raising 12 pups Gum must end her stree life and come back home
Rescue experts have assembled
Observing Gum first
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: She is too wary of people, and of new constructures.
So I think we should set up fence wide where they do their living, so she can go in easily
A wide spread fence is required!
And checks if the lock works well
Perfect~
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: She doesn't have doubts to her friends she lived together. If her mates are in the fence, she will easily come in
For Gum to let loose her guard Locating San and pups inside the fence
and the rescue team decided to wait in car
After a while
Gum appeared
Rescue team: She's here!!
Pups started whimpering as they recognise their momma
Rescue team: She's going in
She walks alongside the fence and approaches door
Gum enters easily as everyone hoped for
As the door shut, her street life has ended
She is flustered, she tries hard to get out of the fence
At that moment, puppers latched and she is tied down like that
A good news guardians have wished for so long
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: Slow down~ Slow down
They rushes down
Director approaches Gum carefully
and put a leash on him
Misses: Wow
For the pst 2 years, she's been making t hem worry so much
Tries to pat Gum carefully
Mister: This is great.
PD: How long has it been since you've patted her ? Mister: 2 years!
However, Gum needs more time
to make Gum feel safe, a curtain is set up
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: If people looks her from the outside, she'd think that she's locked up.
Yet, if she feels that she can observe outside without being looked at, she feel that this fence is a protection
New house is built for her
Now I want to take her to stroll and live well.
I wish we all live happily together
