Legless Dog Wishes To Be Able To Walk On His Own
Jjomaeng was born without legs, but that never stopped him from wanting the same things other dogs enjoy. He still played, stayed close to his family, and kept trying to move around on his own, even when it was difficult.
His younger brother, Earllook, has been especially protective of him since their mom left, and their owner has made sure both dogs are cared for with patience and love. Still, rough play and watching other dogs run freely made one wish stand out above the rest.
For Jjomaeng, that wish was simple, to walk on his own. And when it finally came true, the moment was hard not to celebrate.
This is the handsome Jjomaeng.
Living with his owner in the village, this legless dog uses only his body to move around. He dreams of one day being able to walk around on his own.
His owner spreads a mat in their yard for him to exercise on.
As fast as he can, he tries to move around the mat. He is still sweet and active despite his condition.
At times, Jjomaeng and his brother both get to play with other dogs in the house, but as the play gets rough, the situation becomes unfit for this poor dog.
Earllook always rescues his brother from the other dogs. Their owner has sent the other dogs out, leaving the poor fellow alone.
It is heartbreaking to see Jjomaeng watching the dogs play outside. You can easily notice the sadness in his eyes and see his longing to join his playmates.
Whenever his owner goes to work, she takes him with her. But he only gets to stay in one place.
That kind of play can be hard to watch.
It’s heartbreaking like the abandoned dog rescued by kind neighbors, after abuse from those meant to care.
Still, the sight of dogs happily playing around only breaks his heart.
Jjomaeng tries to crawl toward the other dogs so he can reach them, but as he realizes that much effort is needed, he lets go of that thought.
He can only wish to be with them. He wants to be part of the group and happily play with his fellow dogs.
He wanted in on that freedom, too.
Finally, Jjomaeng got a wheelchair!
Until one day, his ultimate wish came true! Good-hearted members of the Kritter Klub gave him a wheelchair to help him move around with ease.
Tears of joy fell from his owner's eyes when she saw her precious dog finally walking on his own.
Dreams do come true if you keep believing. Never lose hope.
That is what we learned from Jjomaeng's story. Although he needed time to get used to his wheelchair as his "new legs," Jjomaeng's strong will to join his brother and friends will take him to his dreams one day at a time.
Jjomaeng’s hopes hit even harder after you see the puppy cry tears of joy.
