Ppori is a lovely brown Poodle that lives with his human parents in Seoul, South Korea. He sticks with them no matter where they go. They treat him like a son and gives him all their love, care, time, and attention.
It had been seven years since Ppori joined his family. He was never apart from them, not even once. But one day, without anyone knowing, he just disappeared.
Ppori’s parents run a small shop in town and they bring him to work every day. They let him play in the store as they take care of their customers’ needs. They just let him be and never worry that he’d walk outside and never come back. Little did the couple know, however, that their beloved dog would get lost not because it would wander off but because someone would take him.
When his mom realized he had been gone for quite a while, she walked outside and searched for him. And when she didn’t find him, she and her husband decided to check the store’s security camera. To their astonishment, they saw a woman in all white approaching their dog as if he was hers. And then, she hugged him, carried him in her arms, and walked back to the same direction where she came from.
Some people suggested the woman possibly thought Ppori was a stray but his mom strongly disagreed. He wore cute clothes all the time and he had a tag with their home address and his mom’s phone number engraved on it. So perhaps, the culprit really wanted to keep him for herself.
The couple searched for their stolen dog every day. They never stopped hoping that one day, he’d be back. They kept all his clothes, toys, bed, and blankets because they were convinced they’d find him again.
Ppori’s mom and dad received a lot of phone calls claiming someone found him but none of it gave them any leads. Exactly forty days later, however, they got another call that seemed legit. So his mom went to the address given by the caller, and there, she saw Ppori, but he didn’t seem to recognize her at all.
His parents never discovered what happened to him for the last 40 days. They wanted to bring justice to what happened to him, but they chose to spend their time showering Ppori with their love. And thanks to them, he learned to forget whatever trauma he experienced while he was gone.
