Bok-ee is a smart dog that lives a magnificent life. His mom loves him so much and he adores her just the same. He follows her commands and lets her teach him a few tricks. There is one thing, however, that he hates – being touched.
No individual can touch Bok-ee without risking a bite. He’s like a ticking bomb that’s just waiting to explode. And the moment someone tries and touches him, he bites and attacks.
It’s saddening that his mom can not even pet him. She cherishes him like her own child and she wishes to show him affection even for just a moment. So to make her dream come true, Director Lee of ESAC Pet Training Center came to the rescue.
Director Lee observed Bok-ee for a short while before he started his work. He believed the dog was trained to protect itself but in a wrong manner, and he was right. Apparently, the dog was rescued from an abusive household, and its previous owner used to hit it as a form of discipline.
To get Bok-ee’s training up to speed, he moved to the training center, where he had more space. He spent all his energy, anger, and frustration walking back and forth until he no longer had the strength to fight back. Only until then did he focus on what Director Lee had to teach him.
At first, Bok-ee was defiant. He refused to surrender but his trainer was more relentless than him. He tried to fight back over and over again, but in no time, he gradually lowered his guard. He figured out that letting people touch him wasn’t a bad idea, after all.
Within a few days, Bok-ee progressed significantly. He let his trainer pat him on the head and eventually allowed the director to give him belly rubs. At last, he realized that human touch did not always mean harm.
Bok-ee’s mom was so happy to learn about his progress and visited him at the training center. She gave him head scratches and she became emotional when he did even flinch at all. She waited for that moment for so long and she’s finally able to touch him and carry him in her arms.
