Some say that dogs aren’t capable of understanding sentimentality. However, there are a lot of scenarios where dogs display a deep level of care and sensitivity. One example involves a dog named Dong.
Dong was found on the streets. A woman took care of him until he was all grown up. Ever since growing up, Dong preferred freely moving about without a leash. He is a vivacious and animated dog.
Dong didn’t grow up alone. He had other dog friends named Coco and Dalma. Sadly, those two are no longer with Dong. They both died in a car accident.
Dong’s owner believes that he was there when the tragedy happened. He had witnessed something horrible that no dog should see. Ever since that day, Dong looks into the road in front of the carwash with a blank expression.
Sometimes, Dong would bark at passing cars and motorcycles. He must have been scarred by the experience. Perhaps he wished that he could have done something to save both his friends.
Dong never returned to his owner’s home. He instead lived near the carwash, where he lost his friends. No matter how hard the owner tried, Dong refuses to comeback.
The lady who owns the carwash heard of Dong’s story from the previous owner. She moved to tears when she heard what happened. She couldn’t imagine what Dong must have gone through.
Fortunately, this story did not end badly. Dong’s new caretaker owns other dogs too. There are also puppies that are always there to cheer him up.
The people from SBS TV extended help to Dong as well. They gave Dong a cool-looking dog house. He and his new family can live together in the same tiny home. With all the help given to him, perhaps Dong can finally move forward and let go.
