Abandoned dog Dada and her owner Kang Tae have safely embarked on their journey home to South Korea, resolving an unexpected situation that occurred during a layover in Vancouver after finishing their schedule in Canada. According to the Timon and Pumbaa X Pocketmeong GO video, Kang Tae boarded a flight to South Korea with Dada after completing their final walk in Canada.

The final walk in Canada and the tension of the Vancouver layover

On his last day in Canada, Kang Tae organized his schedule while enjoying a final walk with his dog, Dada. In the video, Kang Tae mentioned the chilly morning weather in Canada and shared the natural environment of Canada, such as deer, rabbits, and squirrels appearing in the yard. He also mentioned that one must be careful when using local grassy areas not to trespass on others' private property or cause inconvenience due to waste issues.

Since there were no direct flights from Calgary, Canada to South Korea, Kang Tae and Dada had to follow an itinerary that included a layover in Vancouver. Because large dogs must use the cargo hold, a waiting period occurred in Vancouver. In particular, Kang Tae mentioned the consideration shown by the airline. He shared the experience of an Air Canada flight attendant approaching Kang Tae, who was seated, to personally check on the condition of the dog (Dada) that would be traveling in the cargo hold and providing meticulous care. Kang Tae added that through this, Air Canada's attitude toward animals is certainly attentive.

Dada's bathroom mission and unexpected situation during the Vancouver layover

After arriving in Vancouver, a bathroom issue arose for Dada while waiting for the next connecting flight. Kang Tae explained that if Dada did not relieve herself, they would have to endure a long time before boarding the next plane. It was an urgent situation where, if they failed to take appropriate measures at the layover and missed the next flight, they would have to wait for as many as 16 more hours. Kang Tae said he tried to avoid places in Vancouver that smelled strongly of other dogs when Dada arrived.

To assist Dada with her bathroom needs, Kang Tae performed the mission using supplies he had prepared in advance, including scissors. He induced Dada to relieve herself on a grassy area in Vancouver, and fortunately, she succeeded, announcing the "mission success" required to board the next flight. Kang Tae mentioned that Dada's urine had become concentrated because she had not been drinking enough water, emphasizing how important the bathroom break at the layover was. In particular, there was a tense moment where Dada did not relieve herself even after walking around the Vancouver grass once, requiring her to walk around one more time.

Finishing the Canada tour and changes in Kang Tae's health status

Kang Tae recalled that this schedule in Canada and the United States was a meaningful tour, such as forming relationships with American organizations related to the operation of the abandoned dog center. He revealed that while staying in Canada, his gastritis symptoms eased as his stress levels decreased. However, just before returning to South Korea, his stress levels rose again, causing him to suffer from stomach pain and a sensation of his ears being muffled. Kang Tae explained that he has a characteristic where his ears feel muffled when he is stressed, requiring him to lower his head to resolve it.

In the final part of the video, Kang Tae finished his long journey in Canada by boarding a flight to South Korea with Dada. He mentioned that the entry procedures for South Korea could be more stringent than in Canada or the United States, foreshadowing a new beginning in South Korea with Dada. The video ends with the sight of them finishing their long journey in Canada while boarding the flight to South Korea with Dada.
