We Got a New Puppy.



Well, although the puppy isn't actually ours, we've been dognapping it every night, so it feels like she's actually ours. Don't worry, this "bollowing" of the Korean puppy is actually very ethical.

For some reason, most of the Gwangju residents in town don't care for their dogs very well. While it is still horrible--but more understandable-- that there are a few older dogs that are rarely fed tied up around our apartments, what happened to this young puppy has bewildered all of us here. Only 4 weeks old, the owner decides to leave it alone everynight to be devoured by mosquitos in a cardboard box. Why even buy a puppy if you're not going to enjoy it when it's young and cute? This is very troublesome question for me, as well as for the puppy, who's future doesn't bode well if this is its current state.

On the positive side though, free puppy!

Here is 'Friend 3' as we have named her. She is very cute and is already house-trained.

Oh my god! What a cute puppy! That's so sad that she was left alone like that, but I'm glad you guys are taking care of her. I hope I can play with her at some point! Aw, I want a puppy...

Like the wise poet Kurupt once said:

"A bitch is a bitch but a dog is a man's best friend"

You are an inspiration Mr. Winston, cleaning up the streets of Korea one helpless soul at a time.
