My ex-roommate has been talking about getting a dog for some time now. He asked me about a week or two ago where there is some pet stores around here so he could buy things for the dog they had picked out to buy in the states. I told him that the best place for pet products in Korea is Chungmoro. Chungmoro has rows of pet stores all lined up and down the street. However convenient it may be, this is not the place to buy a pet. The stores allow anyone to come in and handle the puppies without need for assistance, they breed large quantities where they can not give each puppy the attention and assistance it needs. They are not the cleanest stores, and they are only after making money not for the love of the pet. It is rumored that 50% of the pets from there die.
I told all of this to my ex-roommate before he went there. To my surprise he comes back with a puppy. I explained to him again that it was a bad idea (along with the fact he was keeping it in the barracks), and he said it was OK, yet his wife told me that I didn’t know what I was talking about. They got a “good deal on a healthy puppy”. Their definition of healthy scares me now, cause it died today. Not just they woke up and it was dead, they saw it was acting funny and took it too the vet and ran around trying to save its life and it died while they were waiting at the bus stop to go to the vet in Yongsan.
The only thing I have left to say is “HA HA FUCKING HA, I told you so!!!!”. Yeah, I’m an asshole ain’t I? But I guarantee before they leave they will ask for my help and ignore it again, and it will bite them in the ass.
