A middle-aged woman in Seoul, Korea has a pet dog that lives in an empty lot near her apartment building. Since he couldn’t go inside the building, she gave him a dog house and keeps him chained next to it. She frequently goes out to feed him as well as take him walking.
Then one day, she noticed that her dog, Soondol, was standing outside his house and there was something moving inside it. Upon closer inspection, she saw another dog along with four pups.
She was shocked, a stray dog has taken over her pet’s home. And although she knew that her dog was gentle and friendly, it seemed strange that he seemed to didn’t mind the new occupants taking over his bed and home.
Home invaders
The pups were already several weeks old based on their size. So they were probably born in another area and their mom took them there. So it was very unlikely that Soondol was the father. He rarely wanders far without his owner by his side. And, she has never seen the other dog in their area which would allow them to mate.
Did Soondol just become a stepdad?
Soondol was also very kind to the family. He didn’t mind when the pups and their mom, which they named Ippeuni, ate his food. He just takes a few bites and the pups take over his bowl.
This was all becoming all too strange for the owner. So She decided to get to the bottom of it.
Mystery solved
Ippeuni didn’t look like a stray. She looked healthy and clean, and she had a collar too. So she took the dog mom and walked around their neighborhood. She discovered that there was only one other home with a dog and their dog was there. Plus, there seemed to be no other stray male dog in their area.
This made the case even more perplexing.
Could Soondol really be the father?
She then decided to get a DNA test to get to the answers. And when the results came, her dog was indeed the dad. Maybe the female dog came during the night, in any case, they were all family now. They got a bigger dog house and everybody was happy.
