A Dog's Love

A mountain brings all kinds of hikers.

Yes, dogs have invaded Korea. In fact, dog grooming is a big fad. It is not uncommon to see shops where dogs can receive everything from a shampoo to a manicure. I have seen poodles with pink and purple fur. I have also seen shops that specialize in clothing for dogs.

Occassionally, a big husky, Labrador or duck toller retriever like those native to Canada cross my path but tiny dogs are the big hit here. Some are just too friendly.

They still eat them, right?

Where in South Korea were you? My family is from Heong Song.

Are they farming their own dogs before butchering them and turning them into dinner? :LOL:

Just kidding. Kimchi rocks the tastebuds.
