A dog might have hit by a car
The whole body is red and hair is ragged..
The dog is in dire condition..
The back part of her body is all red
The dog was limping too
PD : Was she limping?
Yes she was
Look.. look how she looks like
When I first saw her, she used to be a milky-white dog.
I feel bad that she has changed like this now..
She doesn't go far.. just wanders around here
As it's the only bridge that connects the village to the freeway
Cars pass here all the time
Where is the dog..
PD : Wait, there she is!
The dog with matted hair in red, just like an old rag
Furthermore, she seems to have trouble in walking
PD : she's hurted
PD : Can't stand on her foot
She walks in three legs with her right hind leg limping
Will there be anyone who knows about this stray dog?
Resident 1 : It has been a while. I've seen her since October, last year maybe?
Resident 2 : No, around January this year
Resident 1 : I saw her in spring this year in that corner
Resident : She's a stray dog. Doesn't leave here
PD : Doesnt't leave?
Resident : Yeah, she strolls around here
Clearly, she's a stray dog who isn't owned by anyone
But wanders in the same spot, not leaving at all
At that moment..
PD : Wait!!!
With her limping leg
she comes and disappears in the same spot, repeating it everyday
Why isn't she leaving this dangerous spot..?
Resident 1: I thought some mean person dumped a box over here
and 2 days later, I found it flipped over and moved this far
Thought it was weird first, then I assumed it was moved by the wind blow
Actually, the dog kept walking inside the box and wend down the way.
3 months ago, a car left a box on the street..
In the box, which was thought of as trash
the dog was inside, alive
Resident : Someone tied her leg in a leash inside the box
and the dog managed to squirm and get rid of it
It was intended to kill the dog.. make her starve to death
Fortunately, the dog managed to untied the leash and escaped the box
Since then, maybe..
one of her leg got damaged
Resident : Some might think she's covered with blood
But as far as I know, the red color was from pesticide
PD : The dog's hair is dyed in red like this.
Is there any red pesticide?
Pesticide Shop Owner : Yes
PD: Really? What kind of pesticide is it?
How come she's covered with the pesticide?
Pesticide Shop Owner : It's birds repellent
that prevents birds from eating seeds in sowing period.
Usually used for sowing beans
While wandering around with fear and hunger
the dog might have accidentally covered with the pesticide
Today as well..
The dog waits for disappeared owner who abandoned her so cruelly
Carefully watches cars passing by
and chases after it with limping leg
in a hope that the driver could be her owner..
But the dog goes back to her spot in disappointment
We tried to feed the dog who must have starved for so long
The dog turns back, leaving food behind
PD : The dog is here!
Why refusing the help..?
The dog is standing in the same spot even in the night
Next day
Rushes to somewhere?!
PD : The dog went down this way!
The dog is with a lady?
PD : Hello lady
Do you live with this dog?
Lady : I'm not the owner
I fed him once after seeing her crying sadly
After that, she follows me around
After being abandoned here...
The dog cried all day and night, wandering around the bridge for more than a week
The lady started to fed him as she felt bad for the dog
Since then, the dog only follows her around, not avoiding at all
But..
Lady : She keeps runs away
Lady : She follows me, but whenever I try to catch her, she avoids me
So I couldn't clean or groom her..
that's why she still looks like that
The dog doesn't leave the dangerous spot..
and waits for her owner in the same place
Lady : I don't understand why she still looks for bad owner
I feel so sorry for the dog
because she waits endlessly for someone who would never come back
Today, again..
the dog waits for the owner who would never come back
Rescue starts
Decided to allure the dog with the help of the lady
Lady : Come here~
The dog comes to food with no doubt as she sees the lady
Rescue success
Lady : Good job..in such hot a weather..
Lady : When she comes back from a vet clinic
I will take care of her with all my heart
Vet clinic
Vet : According to the medical examination,
she tests positive for heartworm, and seriously infected by it
After considering the overall conditions, I've come to the conclusion that
before she was abandoned,
she was likely to have suffered from heartworm disease
Heartworm infection must have developed a long time ago
So sad that she was abandoned, just because she's sick
Vet : Pigmented pesticide on her skin caused dermatitis
But it's not fatal to this dog
