[세상에 나쁜 개는 없다 – 대복이에게 또 한 번의 기적이 올까요] The episode will be broadcast on EBS1TV at 10:50 pm on Friday, January 10th.
A shocking post posted on social media. This is Daebok, a thin dog whose entire body bones are exposed. The shocking diagnosis is that tumors are blocking the passage through which food passes from the stomach to the duodenum, and the person will eventually dry out and die from not being able to digest the food. So in March 23, Daebok was diagnosed with 3 months to live. However, Daebok has been living for three years, welcoming the new year of 2025. He even gained about 5 kg from his bony appearance and regained a lot of energy. How was such a miraculous thing possible? Even the veterinarians, including Teacher Seol, are surprised and tell the miraculous story of Daebok’s family in Sena Gae.
What is the story of ‘Daebok’, the skinny dog on social media?
For others, there is a family for whom every ordinary day is more precious than anything else. The main characters are Daebok, Yujin Park, and Jihae Kim, who turned 6 this year. At the end of 2022, the mother and daughter rescued Daebok, who had been chained to a persimmon tree field for three years and was wasting away day by day. I wanted Daebok to be free from a short leash, eat his fill, and live happily ever after. In this way, Daebok had a family for the first time, but the happiness did not last long. Two weeks after coming home, he started vomiting whenever he ate the food he used to eat. As vomiting and diarrhea continued, the mother and daughter visited the hospital and heard a shocking story. He was given a terminal diagnosis of only three months to live due to tumors blocking the passage of food from the stomach to the duodenum. Even when the veterinarian recommended euthanasia, the mother and daughter did not give up on Daebok and brought him home.
Daebok was given a life-limiting sentence of 3 months, but has been living for 3 years.
They were diagnosed with a life-limit of 3 months and there was even talk of euthanasia, but instead of preparing for separation, the mother and daughter began to care for the mother and daughter with utmost sincerity 24 hours a day, determined to do everything they could. More than anything, what the mother and daughter cared about was the right diet for Daebok, who was unable to digest food properly due to tumors in his stomach and intestines. First, the three types of feed were soaked in hot water for an hour, then individually ground by hand and fed 7 to 8 times. Also, to aid digestion and relieve vomiting, Daebok’s upper body was lifted and lowered not only after meals but also frequently. And thanks to the direct subcutaneous fluids administered to prevent dehydration, Daebok gained about 5 kg and gradually regained his strength. In addition to eating, the mother and daughter did their best for Daebok’s health and happiness by going for a walk twice a day, morning and evening, and traveling together every time the season changed. Thanks to this, Daebok, who was 4 years old when he was diagnosed with 3 months to live, turned 6 this year and welcomed the new year of 2025.
Another miracle I desperately hope for! Is surgery to remove a stomach tumor really possible?
Daebok was unable to receive any treatment due to lack of energy when he was diagnosed with 3 months to live. Since my physical strength has improved to the point where I can run around with more than 3 months left to live, wouldn’t it be possible to get treatment now and get better? Is there any way to relieve the pain caused by a hernia that is worsened by frequent diarrhea? In response to the guardian’s earnest wish to alleviate Daebok’s pain even a little, Teacher Seol came forward! Teacher Seol is surprised to see Daebok looking healthier than expected. Even the veterinarians expressed their surprise at the efforts of the guardians to save Daebok, saying that they were able to do what they had given up on. With hope that Daebok was much healthier than two years ago, I visited a veterinary hospital in Seoul with an oncology center with Seol. As a result of the detailed examination, will Daebok be able to undergo surgery to remove the stomach tumor? Also, is there any treatment I can receive to improve my quality of life?
The episode ‘Will Another Miracle Come to Daebok’, which contains the miraculous story of Daebok and her family, will be broadcast on EBS 1TV at 10:50 pm on Friday, January 10th, and can be viewed again on the EBS website.
