Actor Hwang Shin-hye was plunged into grief as she said goodbye to a pet she had raised for 18 years.
On the 3rd, Hwang Shin-hye posted several videos and photos on her social account. As her pet Max was seen moments before closing his eyes, Hwang Shin-hye's daughter Lee Jin-i could not contain her sorrow and held the dog while crying the whole time. Hwang Shin-hye was also constantly stroking and tending to the dog.
In the video Hwang Shin-hye repeatedly said to the dog "thank you for everything," and Lee Jin-i could not hold back her sadness and cried the whole time. The mother and daughter clung to each other and barely managed to hold themselves up amid their grief.
Hwang Shin-hye wrote, "Our little star Max, 18 years of our love together. You were our home's laughter, our comfort, love itself," and continued, "Last night Max left our side and became a star. He grew up with our Jin-i, so seeing Jin-i in pain hurts even more. Your traces are far more numerous than I expected."
Hwang Shin-hye said, "I hope the path you went ahead on is not lonely. Run freely, receive lots of love, and be happy. Thank you, I love you, and I love you again, and thank you again," and expressed gratitude to those who helped care for the dog.
Internet users commented, "Knowing that sorrow makes me tear up," and "The period after sending a child off is really hard. Stay strong," leaving messages of support.
Meanwhile, Hwang Shin-hye communicates with fans through social networking services and YouTube.
