“An injury?”
I didn’t understand what injury he was talking about. At the moment I wanted to ask him, another staff member entered from the back. The staff member who opened the door and came in looked at Eun Woo and Seol Hee, and opened his mouth.
“Sorry for interrupting your break, but the Vice President has been worried about Gom Gom and asked for a meeting. Can you gather for a moment?”
I nodded my head. What’s happening? I put Gom Gom back into his cage and stood up from my seat.
((()))((()))((()))
“How about Gom Gom?”
During the staff meeting, everyone sighed at Vice President Choi’s words.
“Exactly.”
“It’s been over ten days since they left him here, it means they’ve abandoned him, right?”
Why would they abandon him? He’s so cute. Gom Gom has been running around the hospital happily ever since he got better. His short, waddling legs were adorable.
“He’s so cute, why would they ever abandon him?”
At Seol Hee’s words, Teacher Choi sighed.
“There are many people in the world who abandon dogs for all sorts of reasons. I’ve even seen people who abandoned them because they grew bigger than expected.”
“Gom Gom is a typical case of that. He got sick and was abandoned.”
“But Gom Gom only had a mild case of disc disease, he’s almost fully recovered. It’s not a fatal disease.”
“They might have disliked the continuous care he needs in the future, or they might have just used the disease as an excuse to abandon him at the hospital. Anyway, what should we do?”
At Teacher Choi’s words, Teacher Ok frowned and spoke.
“We have to send him to the shelter for stray dogs.”
“We should send him to the shelter and post a notice…”
The director who had been silent opened his mouth.
“Should we try to find a new owner from the hospital before we send him?”
“But Gom Gom is already 8 years old. I’m not sure if there will be anyone willing to take him.”
“But if we send him to the shelter for stray dogs, he will be euthanized after ten days.”
At Chae Rin’s words, Seol Hee’s eyes widened. Euthanasia. That’s right. If a dog goes to the shelter for stray dogs, they search for the owner a bit, and then the dog gets euthanized. It’s hard to find new guardians for puppies under one year old, so Gom Gom will probably…
My heart pounded.
He’s still so healthy. If he’s 8 years old, he still has a lot of life left, but he’s going to be euthanized? In the morning when I came to work and gave him food, he was happy and seemed to enjoy licking my hand. I remembered Gom Gom.
Gom Gom is going to die?
That can’t happen. Without thinking calmly due to urgency, words came out of my mouth first.
“I, I’ll adopt him!”
All the staff’s eyes were on Seol Hee.
To speak frankly, she was not in a position to adopt a puppy right now.
Her salary from the animal hospital was already tight, and now she was in a probation period where she received 200,000 won less. She had never raised an animal before, and her mother had asthma, so it was difficult to even bring him home.
But, but. He’s going to die.
Gom Gom is… going to die. She couldn’t bear that.
“If the owner doesn’t show up, I will adopt him.”
With trembling lips, she smiled broadly. After saying it, it felt like the right thing to do. Somehow, she would make the rest work.
However, unlike Seol Hee’s bright expression, the Vice President’s face wasn’t bright.
“Seol Hee, do you really intend to adopt?”
“Yyes.”
As Seol Hee cautiously replied, the director tilted his head.
“Seol Hee, you’ve never raised a puppy before.”
The director was Seol Hee’s uncle, so he knew her situation well.
“Can you make such a decision so easily?”
“But if he’s euthanized, what can I do?”
“You’re right, Seol Hee. Raising a dog isn’t easy. You don’t know because you’ve never done it.”
“That’s right, Seol Hee.”
The director ended his words.
“Gom Gom is now 8 years old. If you manage him well, he can live for more than 10 years. Are you confident you can manage him for more than 10 years?”
10 years. It seemed far away when she thought about it. 10 years ago, she was in high school. She couldn’t imagine what she would look like in 10 years.
“You can’t adopt just because he’s pitiful. It’s not a problem that can be thought of so lightly. There are tens of thousands of dogs abandoned every year. Can you adopt them all just because they’re pitiful? We at the hospital want to save them. But we can’t save all those dogs, Seol Hee.”
“But Gom Gom is here. Even if I can’t save other dogs, I can save Gom Gom.”
She couldn’t back down here. If she backed down now, Gom Gom would be euthanized. Even her normally soft voice had strength in it now.
“You can’t keep a puppy at home, can you?”
Seol Hee’s mother had allergies and asthma. So they couldn’t keep one at home because of her mother. But she thought quickly. She had about 15 million won from her company’s severance pay and savings. She could use it to rent a monthly rent room.
