South Korean Woman Dedicates Life to Rescuing Dogs

South Korean Woman Dedicates Life to Rescuing Dogs

 

Jung Myoung-sook, a 61-year-old South Korean woman, is not only standing up for dogs, but rescuing them too! Living in the only country where dogs are farmed for their flesh and where dog meat dishes remain on the menu, Jung is still considered “odd” by some. Others, however, herald her as a hero. She takes in dogs from the meat trade, those facing euthanasia at shelters, and others who have been left to roam the streets.

“Some people talk about me, saying: ‘Why is that beggar-like middle-aged woman smiling all the time?’ But I just focus on feeding my babies. I’m happy and healthy,” says Jung.

While individuals like Jung often struggle with caring for the many dogs in need, we applaud her efforts and look forward to seeing more South Koreans welcome dogs and cats as companions.
