The story of a father and grandmother who opposed a puppy but were disarmed by 'Geon-u's' cuteness

Family members who showed strong resistance to pets have been captured eventually opening their hearts to a puppy's constant expressions of affection. According to a video from KBS Animal TV : Animal for You animal4u, a father and grandmother who adamantly opposed adopting a puppy were captivated by the puppy 'Geon-u's' cuteness and are now shown caring for him with great devotion.

The change in the grandmother who said "I hate beasts," showing devotion by even wiping the puppy's eye crust

When the puppy 'Geon-u' first came home, the grandmother showed an attitude of not welcoming him. In the KBS 'Unlimited Refill Salad' video broadcast on June 19, 2020, the grandmother initially expressed resistance, saying, "I hate beasts" and "He doesn't even poop at home, he's like a doll." In particular, the grandmother showed a reaction of being unfamiliar with the puppy's clean appearance, saying, "The kid doesn't even poop; he doesn't even buy darkness at home and doesn't poop, so he's not even a doll."

However, after time passed, the grandmother's appearance changed completely. She was seen personally wiping the puppy's eye crust and showing devotion by not sparing words like "pretty" toward the puppy. The grandmother treated the puppy like a family member, saying, "I've gained a son." In particular, she showed deep affection to the point of wanting to go anywhere with the puppy, and it was impressively portrayed that she cares for the puppy with all her heart, just as she did when raising children in the past.

The change in the father, who had opposed the puppy's adoption, was also notable. At first, he showed resistance to touching the puppy or seemed to dislike the smell of alcohol, but in the latter half of the video, he is seen trying to win the puppy's favor by giving him snacks. The father poured his heart into things like preparing a dog house for the puppy, gradually becoming synchronized with the joy the puppy provides.

The psychology of approaching despite saying they dislike dogs, a sociability similar to 'Williams-Beuren syndrome'

The video explains the reason why puppies constantly approach people who seem to dislike them. The presenter mentioned that dogs can accurately distinguish human emotions, stating that even if a person makes a face showing they dislike them, dogs try to find affection within that. The explanation is that dogs have the ability to distinguish whether a person actually likes them or dislikes them.

In particular, one of the reasons dogs show excessive sociability toward humans was cited as a genetic characteristic. 'Williams-Beuren syndrome', one of the human diseases, is characterized by excessive sociability, and it was explained that dogs, similarly, have acquired extremely friendly characteristics toward humans through genetic mutation. Although the difference in mitochondrial DNA between dogs and wolves is only 1%, this genetic mutation made dogs extremely friendly beings to humans.

Thanks to these characteristics, dogs break down walls and approach even people they see for the first time, making humans unable to help but be disarmed and give love upon seeing the dog. The video suggested that by breaking down human suspicion, dogs helped humans become the strongest beings on Earth.

Symbiosis between humans and animals, the power of a relationship that creates love

Beyond being simply smart animals, dogs are animals with the outstanding ability to form deep relationships with other living beings and create love. The process in the video where the family overcame their initial resistance and came to coexist with the puppy well demonstrates how these canine characteristics move human hearts.

The puppy 'Geon-u' was an abandoned dog that was soaking wet when he was rescued, but he is currently spending a peaceful daily life receiving plenty of love from his family. The phenomenon where people who disliked pets give even greater love than before once they open their hearts is because the unique loyalty and sociability of dogs break down human wariness and form new family relationships. The video concluded by highlighting how animals coexist with humans and create love through behaviors of communicating and instilling trust between dogs and humans.
