Production crew: We came from Kritter Klub. Anyone home?
The only thing we see is empty dog houses in the front yard
When we thought no one’s home…!
There was a dog hiding on the other side of the stone bricks haha. Hi there
A voice: Bungae! Production crew: Where are you? / Oh, yes, yes, I’ll be out. Oh my
The guardian comes out from the dog house… instead of his house..?!
Production crew: Oh, hi sir
Production crew: I mean, what were you up to in there?
Guardian: Well, that’s his house, but he won’t ever get in so, I got in there and tried luring him in / Oh, really?
So, he was in the dog house to lure his dog in… but, why?
Guardian: I wanted to relieve him that it’s safe by I, myself going in
And I thought if I gave him his favorite snack, he’d come in. So I kept calling him, but he won’t even move a muscle
So, in a sentence, today’s guardian is concerned about his dog Bungae who insists on being homeless despite having a home
Guardian: I changed his house several times to various ones. He won’t go in any of them nonetheless.
He thought maybe he didn’t like the houses, so he changed the floor to a wooden floor, a soft mattress, etc.
He even tried remodeling Bungae’s house himself!!
Completed the house that has spacious room, thick walls that will block the wind and rain, with a touch of eco-friendly paint, but
the only one that uses the house is the guardian… I don’t know where to laugh or cry T.T
Guardian: Bungae! Ugh…
Bungae, clueless about the guardian’s concerns, won’t even set foot inside
Guardian: You know, sometimes, while I sit here trying to lure him in I think to myself, ‘What am I doing?’. It’s that ridiculous haha
He peeks in this much, but he won’t set foot in EVER
He tried calling Bungae into the house from inside his dog house, but it was almost talking to the wall
Production crew: Haha wow… sir, this is hard Guardian: Ugh, I don’t know what he has against it
Amid everything, he’s so oblivious that he acts charmingly… the guardian can’t even scold him
Guardian: Awwie, what a good boy
The guardian has reached his limit! This time, he tries to let him in the house by pacifying him and
He gets stubborn, bracing himself, and eventually gets startled and runs off T.T
We’re all just frustrated as we don’t know why he refuses to go in his own house THIS much
Guardian: When I brought him at first, he used to live in a dog house, in a garage
He was fine. He was pretty comfortable in his house
Bungae, whom the guardian brought home from a shelter at 3 months old didn’t show any reluctance to the dog house at first
In fact, he was so comfortable in his house that he’d stay in his house all day in winter
But, when he grew leaps and bounds and changed the location of his house to the front yard, he began to refuse his dog house…
Guardian: The altitude is higher here than in other parts, so the temperature differs from the city by 3 to 4 degrees Celcius.
And since winter here is colder than in other regions and because he’s a pup
if he doesn’t sleep inside, he may get sick
On top of that, since the air’s getting colder at night with a season change, the guardian’s worried day and night…
The next day, after staying up all night, worried about Bungae!
The guardian seems busy, preparing for something
Guardian: It’s a dog house. I’m trying different dog houses
to see if there’s any type of dog house that Bungae likes and decides to go in, so I brought all sorts
Since Bungae won’t go in his current house whatsoever, even if it takes the guardian to give up on the DIY dog house, he’s going to try making him go in a dog house he chooses…
Will he like any of them?
First option: pet dog exclusive tent that has good ventilation!
Bungae shows interest to the new house, but soon turns around and leaves
Next option: A tepee that has a spacious room with a broad entrance, and satisfies sensitivity?
He seemed to approach it closer, but soon turns around and goes his way…
Last option: The big gun, a greenhouse!
Guardian: So, this is vinyl and transparent, so maybe it’ll work? It has a fair view
Since it has a fair view, the guardian hopes that it won’t be overwhelming for Bungae
Guardian: Oh, he’s going in, going in!
Right when he seemed to be going in! He gets startled by the wind and takes off
Why’s Bungae refusing his house so much…? An expert arrives to see through him
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: Hello
Will the director’s magic work on him??!
Bungae welcomes him, but after the short greeting,
Bungae gets appalled and runs away as soon as the expert tries to put him inside
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: Around 5 to 6 months old, it’s the period when dogs broaden their scope of activity
During that period, he came to the yard and he liked it too much
To Bungae, the entire yard has become his home
As moving Bungae’s house overlapped with Bungae’s growth broadening his scope of territory, Bungae must’ve recognized the entire yard as his home
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: From Bungae’s perspective, this house is not his cozy home, but where he is being locked in
So, we need to change his image of the house so that he perceives this place as cozy and comfortable
But, he starts to disassemble the dog house
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: By opening the back of the house and letting him walk past in and out of it, it’ll help him to get used to this structure
The point is to let him realize he can go in and out of this place at his will
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: If Bungae comes out like this, call him to come out.
Bungae hesitates for a while as if he can’t take a step
Guardian: Bungae, come here
But, after a moment! Bungae sets foot into the house
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: Good boy Guardian: Oh, good job, good job
Like that after repeating the training over and over, he realizes it’s a safe place and accepts the training without any reluctance
This time, it’s training getting complimented whenever he stays in the house longer!
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: Good boy
Guardian: Awww, yes, yes. It’s good, yes
I never thought this was possible. It’s a meaningful moment for me. Bungae, alright, go in
Now, he even goes inside and gulps down the water
Lee Chan-Jong, Director: A lot of dogs are sensitive to atmosphere changes, especially house changes. So, when you change house, it’s better to take one step at a time
You need to put in something that has the dog’s scents and put it in the house so the dog can accept the house
Guardian: Bungae, house! Sit!
Good boy. All settled now? All settled?
I’m sorry for not knowing your feelings and making you uncomfortable. And thank you
Finally, Bungae ends his homeless life after 6 months!
Let’s enjoy all four seasons now, healthy and comfortable, but don’t be a homebody now hehe
