The story I am about to share with you is incredibly heart-wrenching. Prepare yourself for an emotional rollercoaster. Have you ever heard of the famous movie “Always by Your Side”? It starred Richard Gere and was inspired by the incredible life of a Shiba Inu dog named Hachiko. Well, through the power of YouTube, a video is currently circulating that tells the equally heart-rending story of a dog who has experienced something quite similar to that of the renowned “faithful dog”.
This incredible dog is named Bokshil, and she is a stray from Korea. Bokshil has been patiently waiting, for the past ten years, for her owners to return to her. Even though it may seem like an eternity, her hope never wavers. Day after day, she faithfully sits in the same corner, waiting for her beloved humans to come back for her. It is a heartbreaking sight to witness.
Let me tell you, Bokshil’s loyalty knows no bounds. Despite being offered adoption by kind-hearted individuals throughout the years, she has steadfastly refused. Her heart only longs for her original home and family. Thankfully, SBS TV has taken notice of her story and has shared it with the world through a touching YouTube video.
According to the locals featured in the video, Bokshil was abandoned by her owners, left to fend for herself. However, she never lost hope and always found her way back to that familiar corner, where she once shared beautiful memories with her human companion. Her determination is awe-inspiring.
Bokshil’s resilience is truly remarkable. She may be an old lady now, toothless and fragile, but she continues to bring joy to the hearts of those who witness her unwavering dedication. The neighborhood residents have decided to support her in her quest for happiness, allowing her to live the life she chooses.
While Bokshil occasionally explores the area or chases after passersby, she always returns to the entrance of the apartments. Locals speculate that she was abandoned when her owner had to relocate, unable to provide for a pet any longer.
Heartbreakingly, as Bokshil has grown older, her health has deteriorated. Given the hardships she has endured throughout her lifetime, it is only natural. Recently, she fell ill and couldn’t leave her shelter. Concerned neighbors went in search of her and found her in a weakened state.
