Mother dogs will go to incredible lengths just to makes sure their puppies survive and remain healthy. One dog even went as far as living under a container box just so her puppies have a place to stay safe in. The residents who saw the dog call her Teoguk, which is also a local name for rice cake.
Teoguk has five puppies who are with her. Despite living in such poor conditions, she wasn’t originally a stray. An elderly man used to take care of her, and he was the one who gave her the name. Unfortunately, that man passed away due to a heart attack.
The late owner used to live in a house that’s built from a large container box. When he passed away, the box was removed. Teoguk had nowhere to go and wandered around for a while. She also had no idea where her previous owner was, so she kept waiting for his return.
Fortunately, there are people who help Teoguk when it comes to food. There’s a woman who’s been providing food for her. Since Teoguk was receiving proper sustenance, she’s able to breastfeed her puppies consistently.
A rescue team stepped in to get Teoguk out of her situation. She can’t continue living like that, or she and her puppies might get sick. The rescue team put a trap in place, and Teoguk was easily captured. After that, they got the puppies out from under the large container box.
Teoguk and the puppies underwent medical examinations at the veterinarian. Teoguk was found to be healthy, and her puppies were very chubby. It was a sign that her puppies are well-fed.
The one who regularly feeds Teoguk also came to visit her. She hopes that Teoguk will find a new owner and a good home. Teoguk displayed such resilience and dedication towards taking care of her puppies.
