I Met a Abandoned Stray Dog While Running Near My Apartment, My Friendship With a Stray Dog

Most of my videos are about Thailand, travel, and the people I meet along the way. This story is different. When I'm living in Korea, I rarely skip exercise. Near my apartment there are parks, walking trails, and mountains, making it much easier to run than in Bangkok. During one of my daily runs, I noticed a stray dog living near a large construction site. At first, every time I approached, the dog ran away. There was a fence surrounding the construction area, and the dog would escape through a small gap underneath it, disappearing before anyone could get close. Curious about him, I started visiting the area almost every day. Then one evening, I discovered two local women feeding him. What they told me was heartbreaking. According to them, the dog had recently been abandoned by its owner and was especially terrified of men. Whenever a man approached, he immediately ran away in fear. They believed he may have been abused in the past. Hearing that changed the way I saw him. This isn't a story about travel, nightlife, or romance. It's simply the beginning of a story about a frightened stray dog and my attempts to earn his trust. I know this kind of content may not interest everyone, and that's okay. But for those who enjoy animal stories and quiet moments from everyday life, I hope you'll follow this journey with me.
