Despite being bitten as many as seven times, 'dog president' Kang Hyung-wook delivered a sharp rebuke on air for the first time by prescribing a "book" instead of training to the owner who could not stop the "kiss attack".
On the 18th episode of the pet rehabilitation reality show "The Time of Dogs and Wolves 2," which aired at 10 p.m. on Channel A on the 13th, the story of the unpredictable aggressive dog "Dodi" and the mother owner who could not stop excessive physical contact despite being covered in wounds was depicted.
Dodi lost his littermates when he was young and survived alone, growing up under the devoted care of his owners. But Dodi's aggression worsened, and he caused a major accident by biting and shaking an owner's arm while half asleep. Treatment cost 4 million won, and the hospital even suggested euthanasia, but the owners did not give up on Dodi.
The problem was the owner's attitude that continued even after the accident. The mother owner did not stop the so-called "kiss attack," constantly touching and kissing Dodi even when he was resting or asleep. Even when Dodi turned his head to signal refusal, the display of affection continued.
Watching this on a monitor, Kang Hyung-wook spoke with a grave expression. He diagnosed, "The owner's physical affection seems to be quite a potent poison. I worry the puppy might feel suffocated." He sharply pointed out, "You need to consider whether this is devotion for Dodi or indulgence for the owner's own satisfaction."
MC Kim Sung-Ju also said, "There are times when people reject physical contact," expressing sympathy for a parent's feelings while lamenting the excessive displays of affection that fail to read the dog's language.
Kang Hyung-wook judged that "subtractive training" was more urgent for Dodi's family than "additive training." Accordingly, for the first time on the show he recommended a book before offering a solution. He prescribed "I thought I was a good mother," which he said he had read himself, advising that the owners first learn how to let go of excessive care and obsession.
Upon encountering the book, the mother owner realized her behavior was pressure rather than love, her eyes reddened, and she vowed to change.
In the subsequent home visit solution, the owners for the first time maintained a firm and consistent attitude without catering to Dodi's moods. Faced with control he had never experienced before, Dodi strongly resisted by biting his leash, but as the owners patiently and steadily waited, he gradually calmed down and learned to wait quietly.
