In South Korea, Baekgu has once again shown that the dog is man’s best friend. According to local authorities, he saved the life of his owner.
On August 25, a 90-year-old woman with dementia went missing in Hongseong County, South Korea. While viewing her neighbor’s security camera, the police saw her leaving her home with Baekgu , her little dog. In close collaboration with firefighters and residents who volunteered, they launched a search operation.
40 hours later, the nonagenarian was found in the middle of a rice field 2 kilometers from her home. According to CNN , she collapsed in the wetland and was unable to stand up on her own. The plants also hid his body.
According to local authorities and her family, the old lady survived thanks to her faithful 4-legged companion who did not abandon her for a single moment.
