Producer: What did you contact us for?
Head of the village: We have a sticky situation in our village…
Producer: Can you show us what’s happening?
Head of the village: Yes, let’s go. I’ll lead the way
Right when we walked up the village after the head of the village who said to see it ourselves first..!
Head of the village: Oh, is it here?
Head of the village: Woof, woof, woof woof woof!
Woof, woof, woof woof woof! Not here?
The head of the village not only makes dog sounds towards the drain but also stomps his feet
Head of the village: Oh, is it here?
Woof!
Head of the village: Oh, it’s here!
Producer: So, it’s inside here right now?
Head of the village: Yes! So, we don’t have any measures because the fella’s in this tiny drain
Really, there are dog barking sounds from inside the drain!
Head of the village: Come out, I’ll give you food!
Head of the village: Mhmm, come out, I’ll give you food, Geomdoong~
Producer: So a dog is in there?
Head of the village: 3 dogs Producer: Oh my, 3 dogs?
Head of the village: The 3 dogs don’t come out once, 1 or 2 of them come out for a little bit
and goes back inside the hole upon seeing people. So, we aren’t able to capture them
Reportedly, there are three dogs inside this drain!
Head of the village: They live inside the hole and come out from over there. This hole
Producer: Oh, this drain?
As we approach closer to the drain, barks become clear
We look into the narrow drain and
there’s a small, young pup that looks really young even at a glance!
Head of the village: This passage isn’t in one place, but
the drains are all connected, so if you come to follow here, they’re all connected
Producer: Oh, under here
Head of the village: Oh, this is the drain
Head of the village: If you look, there’s another hole here. This is the hole for the waterway
Waterway hold that streams down the rain to the underground
So supposedly, the three pups are roaming around in the maze-like waterway
Head of the village: Here’s another one! So, we found one
The head of the village taps on the drain and makes dog sounds
Head of the village: There it is Producer: You can hear the fella?
As we approach, the fella barks at the top of his lungs
As we flash the light on him slowly, a yellow-furred pup comes into the light inside the drain
What are these fellas doing inside the dark, narrow hole..?
Head of the village: They figured out the underground passage
and they travel around inside the passage where people can’t see them
They bark when they hear footsteps and when no one’s around they come out to the yard and play and stuff
Village’s granddaughter: What are you doing? Head of the village: I’m looking for the pups!
Head of the village: The granddaughter in the village. The only baby in the village
Hyena, the youngest in the village
Producer: Can you see?
Shh! Hyena signals us to be quiet
Hyena (village’s granddaughter): I think it’ll be better to just be quiet and leave the camera in front of the hole at an angle
Taking Hyena’s (who knows the fellas’ movements the best) advice, we set up the camera at an angle to observe them
We wait for the puppies to come out of the hole…
As she senses no presence, the black-furred fella peeks her head out carefully
And to that noise, the other yellow-furred pup peeks his head out and studies the surrounding
Soon, the black-furred puppy came out from the hole entirely
As if she’s been waiting for this moment, she starts to roam around the village carefree
She runs up the hill, then hides in the hole along with the yellow-furred pup
What is there in this narrow hole for them to do?
The only things we can see are leaves that were blown into the hole and the black-furred pup
Even the black-furred pup doesn’t seem to be up to anything special
Meanwhile, Hyena’s preparing for their meal
Hyena: They are precious lives and they’re born onto the earth, but it’s sad
If they can’t be captured, at least they should be well-fed…
Hyena: Try this Pup: Grrrrrrrr
For the fellas that are extremely wary, they have no options but to leave their food in front of the hole, so they can eat comfortably..!
Head of the village: It came out! The yellow-furred pup came out!
Hyena: Come out just a little bit more, have food, and then head back in!
The yellow-furred pup must have been starving, unable to stop digging into the food while looking around to look out for anything
The black-furred pup is also busy filling up her stomach at that other hole
Production crew: There, over there! (It’s out!)
The two pups play running around having filled up their stomachs
Head of the village: They’re out completely
Hyena: We can just capture them if they come a bit further in…
Right when we tried to approach them while they were oblivious of their surroundings
The two pups run away in a haste, extremely startled
Although the head of the village chases after the black-furred pup
Head of the village: She went in Producer: Oh! She went in!
She disappeared into the hole in a blink
Producer: Oh, is that where she went into?
The fellas ran away deep into the maze-like drain
Head of the village: They’re faster than I am. They’re so fast, they’re already deep in
Producer: Oh, they run straight into the hole when people make an attempt to catch them
Head of the village: Yes. We can’t capture them because they storm into the hole so fast
Head of the village: They’re small right now, so they can go in and out of the hole, but when they grow up, they won’t fit in the hole and they’ll roam around causing a mess…
Head of the village: They were here initially, under a palette
Head of the village: There was a palette here and so they lived underneath it
Head of the village: If they were born under this, there should’ve been traces of the mother dog, but the mom dog wasn’t there. And they popped out of nowhere one day
Head of the village: There’s one here
Producer: Oh, I see
But other pet dogs are leashed that they can’t figure out where they came from
But, how come there are only two puppies roaming around?
Local: Are there only two running around?
Producer: Right now, yes. We can't find the other pup. We don't know where it went
Local: Then, where did the other one go?
Producer: Exactly. We were reported there are three pups
Local: There were. There were 3 of them
Head of the village: 2 black-furred pups and 1 yellow-furred pup. They were all here until yesterday
Head of the village: This one, the black-furred one
He says even until yesterday another pup was roaming around the village!
What happened to the other pup..? Will we be able to find the other fella? (To be continued in part 2)
