KBS Ryu Soo-young's Animal TV: The reason why Homi, an abandoned dog, is now wearing floral clothes after 9 months

According to a video from KBS Animal TV : Animal for You animal4u, Homi, an abandoned dog who was left by its owner at the young age of 9 months, is living a new life receiving the love of an elderly couple in a rural village in Namhae.

Homi, a French Bulldog, went through a difficult time after being abandoned in the past, suffering from deep emotional wounds to the point of biting people or engaging in self-harm. However, thanks to the sincere care of the elderly couple currently looking after Homi, he is showing a completely different side. The grandmother cherishes Homi so much that she hand-washes his clothes every time to remove the stiff hair stuck to them. Furthermore, under the philosophy of hiding Homi's flaws and highlighting his strengths, she even makes and dresses him in colorful floral clothes for the spring.

Homi's transformation overcoming the wounds of abandonment

Due to past trauma, Homi sometimes shows signs of anxiety, fearing he might be abandoned again when he is tied up. The participant in the video reported that because of the memory of being abandoned, Homi becomes frantic and anxious when tied up. However, he has now found emotional stability, to the point where he stays still and enjoys it when the grandmother scratches his body with a toothbrush. The elderly couple spends time with Homi near a place that commemorates other companion dogs who passed away due to past accidents, feeling that Homi is a reliable presence filling that void.

The healthy companionship of the elderly couple and Homi

Beyond being a mere protected being, Homi is playing the role of a partner helping the elderly couple maintain a healthy lifestyle. The grandfather takes a walk with Homi every day as his form of exercise, and Homi also moves energetically in sync with the grandfather's steps. Every time the seasons change, the grandmother carefully prepares 'herbal chicken feet,' a nutritious food for Homi, by decocting medicinal herbs to look after his health. The sight of Homi and the elderly couple starting a new life while relying on each other delivers warm emotion to viewers.
