When dogs keep a secret, it usually involves hidden locations. If the dog is female, it’s mostly a hiding spot for her puppies. The following story depicts a scenario like this and how her caretakers uncovered such a secret.
Dol is a stray dog that spends most of her time at Donam-Seowon Neo-Confucian Academy in South Korea. This location is considered a heritage site and is visited by various people all year round. Most people who maintain the place know Dol and have no issue with her presence.
Despite their leniency, the nearby caretakers have some concerns about Dol. One problem is her unkempt appearance. No one had bothered to bathe the dog all the years she’s been in the academy. Furthermore, the dog’s unsightly appearance is made worse by her habit of hiding under abandoned furnaces.
When someone checked why Dol was hiding under the furnaces, they discovered she was hiding two puppies. The furnaces were full of dust which was terrible for the dog and her puppies’ health. Naturally, the caretakers became concerned for Dol after learning of her situation.
One day, the caretakers sought the help of a dog behavior specialist. He was tasked to remove Dol and her puppies from the furnace before they get afflicted with illness. All the specialist had to do was lure the dogs out and seal the entrance while they were distracted.
Once the specialist extracted Dol and the puppies from their hiding place, they were sent to a veterinarian for a health check-up. Fortunately, the vet found all three dogs perfectly healthy, albeit a bit dirty. Shortly after the visit to the vet, the dogs were given a well-needed bath.
The caretakers were overjoyed to see their beloved dogs finally look cleaner. They also expressed excitement in caring for Dol and her puppies for the foreseeable future. Lastly, the caretakers look forward to seeing Dol interact with more tourists at the academy.
