A hero, who's started a new life
is this lil guy with a stunning name, Harang
Animal protection group : You're going to a better place now
Harang, starting to look for a new family
Hello, Harang!
As soon as we arrive,
Friends are greeting Harang
As if he likes his family,
Harang looks seemingly excited
New owner : Come to mama, whacha so curious about
Checking out the house? Huh?
Harang had a heartrending story
He doesn't seem to be abused, as depicted on the TV
At that time, his fur wasn't in good condition
And he seemed he was in low spirits
Where we met Harang
was at the very scene of terrible abuse
Visited a residential area since a dog's shrieking of pain
echoed all over the neighborhood over a month
Resident : It's not just a whine, it almost sounds like a heavy gasping
It continued every single night around the same time
Resident : It's a legit beating, it almost sounds like being out of breath
Like yipping, it can give such sound only from the beating
A testimony that tells, someone's been abusing a dog every day
To capture the evidence of abuse
The production crew decided to do a stakeout
And
We've witnessed a tremendously surreal sight
Ruthless violence acted upon a tiny dog
The crew tried to interfere
Owner: Are you the police? (Swearing owner)
Get out
I said, leave
Man doesn't admit what he's done
Even though he shut the door tight
on the next day, as we came with the police,
the owner opened the door as obediently as ever
Police : We got a report about animal abuse
So we came to check out the scene
Is the dog with you now?
The condition of the dog before our eyes
was way worse than we thought
Police : We'll charge Mr.000 for violating the Animal Protection Act
We'll offer protection for the dog, would you be able to let go?
Yes yes / Please have him sign the disclaimer
After acquiring the disclaimer,
The dog was able to leave the hell-like home
The most worrying thing is his health
Vet : I assume that his eyeball was once ruptured
by a strong hit or a direct injury
It seems it's too late to recover the eyesight
The sight that's been damaged already
Inoperable, broken leg
He shall have to live with inerasable wounds through life
Many were enraged by this story..
Two months after the incident
How has the incident tied up the loose ends
Inspector in charge : Since his criminal charges were proven,
we, the police, sent him to the prosecution
The man received a fine worth one million Won(about $800)
Inspector : He said, he was furious cause
his dog ate his fish cakes left in the kitchen for his supper
At first, things had begun like that,
but whenever he was stressed by his job and tough living,
the dog became a target to vent his anger
Still, would a fine wash off his wrongdoings
For his disabled eyes and legs
we've chosen a new family with more deliberation
Animal protection group : The adopter has a strong affection towards the dog
and she is experienced in raising one. So, we thought she's capable of
taking good care of the kids like Harang, which is why we sent him
The new owner wanted to show him what love really means
New owner : I've been waiting for him to come
He seems he's fond of people and bright by nature
so, we think he'll get along well
Will he be well-adjusted in a nest of his new family
We've met Harang after two months of adoption
He really belongs to his new home now
Owner : Harang, say hi, hello~
His eyes still seem uncomfortable
But he now has a prettier face
Became a little bit chubby
With conspicuously lightened personality
Harang~
He runs over whenever he hears his name
Harang's also gained more charms
and glued to his mom, while we were gone
New owner : As he approaches people first since he loves them so much,
I often doubt whether he still has that memory
It's such a relief
The most thankful part of Harang is,
Even though he's lost both sights due to a severe abuse
He figured out the structure of the house on his own
and lives as briskly as ever
Harang heading to his owner, getting away from obstacles
Owner : At every corner, we attached sponges and taped every chair
and we prepared some fences and so on
But, after three days, those made no use
Harang, fast in adapting,
accomplished toilet training which
not many blind dogs easily can
in which the owner feels sad about
Owner : I think he has this idea that he shouldn't lose such a chance
That's why he's trying to approach people, be loved
and try not to make any mistake.
Of course, it's just my thought
but breaks my heart a bit
Not knowing what love really means,
past days shivering in fears
Perhaps, Harang doesn't want to
let go of the happiness that came at last
As if they know Harang's heart,
his dear friends always let go of mom's arms
as much as Harang wants
His friends always take thought for Harang
Owner : Harang used to growl and fight with Jju-Jju for space
But, as if he knows Harang's past agony
he just naturally gave away a room for Harang
How glad it is to offer him
the warmth of a family at last
Hope he always has sweet dreams
By watching Harang getting closer to happiness,
in the nest of the new family,
we see a sheer hope and a miracle
Wish such ordinary happiness comes as
a rightful entitlement for all the dogs..♥
