Not too long ago, animal welfare activists and rescuers in South Korea discovered a heinous situation that required their immediate attention. In the province of Gimpo, they determined that dozens of dogs lived inside a filthy and fetid farm. Someone owned the poor animals, but that person purposely neglected to keep them in good shape so the rescuers took action promptly.
At least three dogs cramped up in one small cage. They didn’t have enough space for all of them so they lay on their own excrement when they slept. They were covered with dirt, mud, and all other kinds of rubbish.
While most dogs were caged, there was one Jindo mix that freely roamed around the dog farm. She was a mom and she was nursing her newborn puppy at that time. An innocent soul was born in such a desperate world, but thanks to, Lee Chan-Jong, a volunteer worker and a renowned animal behavior expert, the puppy’s misfortune quickly became a piece of luck.
Lee decided there and then to bring home the newborn puppy and named her Kkotnim. He knew that her life with him will be much better than the one she had at the dog farm. And he promised to make her happy no matter what.
Kkotnim was a charming little puppy and she captured the heart of her Dada Lee right off the bat. She also made lots of other people fall in love with her, including the rest of the members of the rescue group.
The puppy’s life would be no different than the life of her dog momma if she stayed at the dog farm. She would just be locked up in a cage with two or three other dogs and she would never really be able to enjoy her puppyhood. But because her Dada came just in time, she didn’t suffer and instead lived a very good life.
Kkotnim spent her puppy days playing, sleeping, eating, and sleeping again. She grew up with lots of toys and a huge yard where she ran and played freely. But her favorite thing to do, even up to these days, is to take a stroll with her Dada. She’s always up for a walk, rain or shine.
Lee admits Kkotnim can be a handful at times but he regrets nothing about adopting her. She brings him so much joy, and for that, he gives her all the best in life.
