Production crew: Hello~ Guardian: Hello~
There are two cute Welsh corgis! Are they today's dogs?
Guardian: It seems like there are two dogs, but there are three in the house, actually.
Guardian: She's under here.. Gabi~ Gabi.
The guardian looks under the sink
That doesn't look like a place where a dog could stay..
Guardian: If you shine a flash light over there.. Do you see her?
Under here, there is a brown dog showing its back...
Production crew: Oh, there she is Guardian: You can see her
In the corner under the sink, there is a dog...! What is she doing there?
Production crew: So, she's been staying there? Guardian: Yes, she wouldn't come out
Production crew: For how long..? Guardian: For over 2 months... two months and a half...
For over two months, the dog is living hiding under the sink...
Under the sink is very narrow and small
Gabi hid where people can't reach
The guardian tries to lure her out
Guardian: Gabi~ Gabi, it's okay!
But, she tries to hide even deeper..
Production crew: There is a space Guardian: Yes
Guardian: I think there is a gap, this much gap there
Guardian wants to take her out from under the sink
But, it seems like that's not what Gabi wants...
I can't get her out. She's fighting it and she's very tense
Wait... Gabi's fore-leg looks like it's been cut...! What happened to her leg?
Guardian: I saw a post saying that she was about to be put down and that's why I brought her home
Gabi was a stray dog who ended up at a dog shelter
Adoption wasn't easy for Gabi as she was too wary of humans
When Gabi was facing death... the guardian decided to take her home
Guardian: When she was brought to the shelter, her leg was already cut off...
What happened to her... it seems like she's been through a hard time..
Guardian wanted to embrace her giving her lots of love
But, from the day she left the shelter and came to the guardian's house...
she'd hide under this sink..
And for two months, she stayed there...
Guardian: Gabi, eat some
Production crew: She wouldn't even look Guardian: No...
Guardian: It's here. Come out and eat~ okay?
Perhaps she's afraid of people
Guardian: Gabi, I'm leaving~
Guardian always gives her space after giving her food...
hoping Gabi would come out and eat comfortably...
Gabi notices that they are gone
It seemed like she was going to move.. but she sat back again...
Gabi didn't come out in the end
Guardian: She used to eat once a day or two days if I put food under there.
But, recently, she doesn't eat well and she starves herself.
Guardian is worried...
Guardian: I think it'll be helpful if I can understand what happened that made her like that..
but she's not opening up to me at all...
Firstly, we decided to take a look at the log the shelter keeps
We checked on the report that Gabi was found with puppies
Which means that she wasn't alone when rescued
We visited the shelter Gabi stayed to fact-check
Shelter employee: She was rescued and raised here...
Gabi took care of 8 puppies on the street
She was rescued but...
Shelter employee: 5 puppies died and 3 lived. So we sent the 3 puppies for adoption.
After the puppies were gone, Gabi's wariness has gotten much worse.
Once, she escaped through the wire fences
Since when she lost her puppies unexpectedly, she started acting abnormally
Gabi was left alone again, after losing her puppies that were holding her up
Perhaps she gave up on living when she lost her baby...
We could not give her too much time to come out by herself.
We decided to get some help from the vet
Vet: Rather than waiting for her to come out, it'll be better for her to rescue her as soon as possible
Before something goes wrong with her health, we have to rescue her
We tried to give her calming medication to ease her
If she's relaxed, we'll be able to rescue her causing less fear for her
We left the food bowl near her
We gave her some space so she could come out and eat
Gabi must be starving, but she's still just reading the room
At that time!
Gabi starts eating!!
She just put her mouth in the bowl and licked the bowl
If the medication is taken... she'll be at ease and less anxious
After some time, she seems more relaxed
Vet: It seems like she's relaxed. We'll go in and check first then proceed with the rescue
Now, the rescue begins
Carefully reaches to Gabi..
We grabbed her hind leg and pulled her out from under the sink!
Guardian: Gabi, I'm finally seeing your face...
Guardian: It's been long since the last time I saw her...I'm just happy that she's out now
First things first, we took Gabi to the hospital
Let's find out what happened to her leg
There are many possibilities. It could be because of a trap or an unfortunate car accident...
Perhaps when the leg was being broken the flesh fell off, too... that could be another possibility
Not only has her leg been broken, but her hips had also been broken
There's a possibility that a human intentionally hit her..
Gabi's condition was worse than we imagined...
Now we can see how difficult and terrifying it must have been for her to come outside into the world...
Gabi is sent to the recovery room after the examination
Scared even at the helping hands...
she tries to find the deepest corner of the recovery room to hide
Vet: I think she wants to hide from everything
How can we help this poor fella....
Vet: She denies humans. It's not a simple problem that can be solved through some solutions.
to heal her, you have to share your daily life, for example, you can sleep together,
read by her or give her delicious snacks from time to time...
Guardian: Gabi... Have you been well? No? Still scared?
Guardian: If I try to get close to her sincerely, perhaps she'll open up to me quicker...
Guardian: Gabi, I won't go near you
Guardian lets Gabi take all she needsneed to open up to her...
Next day
Gabi is sitting by the guardian!
And she looks more relaxed...!
Production crew: She went into the corner at first! Guardian: Yes, but now she lies down next to me...
honestly, it's unbelievable
Eye contact is not a problem, too!
Gabi accepts guardian's touch easily
Guardian: It's indescribable.. this feeling..
Gabi even licks her and everyone gasped!!
Doesn't she look relaxed and comfortable already?
Guardian: I'll have to try harder so that Gabi can open up even more
(Celebration selfie time)
They are adorable!
We hope all the happiness and only the happiness for them!
