Dog life
‘The dogs especially
Like it. Follow well .’
My dog and I have a 5 –fold relationship .
The first is when I lived in Jugong Apartment in Jamsil 3 complex and
operated the Rose of Sharon tennis court . That day, I finished work earl
y, came home, read a book, and went out late in the evening to buy some
thing , when I heard the sound of a dog whining in a dark place next to t
he apartment . When I went there, I saw that a dog was dying .
The weather was so cold at that time that I went out wearing a thick coa
t . When I touched the dog, it was cold as if it had been there for severa
l hours . ‘ Tsk tsk …. How cold was it … ‘
I felt like I would freeze to death if I left it as is , so I quickly took off m
y coat and wrapped myself in it . And I just felt like I had to save my life
, so I picked up my dog and went to the veterinary hospital .
It was already late at night, so it wasn’t easy to find .
After searching and searching, I finally found a veterinary hospital at the
entrance to the district market . From what I remember now, I think the
name was probably Dongdo Animal Hospital . I asked for treatment for t
he dog there, and when I went back the next day, the dog was already d
ead . The vet said, “The dog took some strange medicine , and it was t
oo late to save him .” He said . I told him the whole story and asked if
he should have brought me back sooner when I took the medicine .
“ Sir, while working at a veterinary hospital , I have never seen anyone
like you take a taxi and ask for the location of the hospital late at night ,
saying they would save someone else’s dog, not their own .” He said ,
“As a doctor who saves animals, I am grateful . ” I still asked him to p
QR
ay for the treatment , but he flatly refused, saying no .
