I saw this the other day while going to work. He was walking slower than me but same path I was going right along the side of the road. I didn’t suspect anything until I got up next to him to pass and looked down. Startled me so much I nearly jumped right into oncoming traffic. I was so freaked out I just about started running. (Then I figured I had to take a picture so coaxed it into a driveway).

I don’t know what happened to it, or if it was in any pain. But if you can’t tell from the picture (I am warning you, you may not want to look) the dog is literally missing half its face. Its kind of hard to see that I mean it when I say “literally” cause of the long hair, but I wasn’t about to move it out of the way to get a good Kodak moment.

The skin/fur on the right side of its face has been scrapped off exposing its teeth and making it seem rather intimidating when you’re looking at him. His nose is completely gone except for half of his left nostril, the top row of teeth on the entire side that I could see were missing, and his fur was all knotted and dirty like he had lived on the streets for a while. Because of the long hair I couldn’t tell if he was missing an eye or not, but the way he was walking straight along the side of the road without wandering into traffic I could tell he did have at least one working eye. Despite all this he actually seemed rather friendly considering I got right in his face to take his picture (I passed at the opportunity to pet him). He kind of posed for me; I just wish I had my real camera and not just the one on my phone. It’s been a couple days now and I haven’t seen the dog again. I have been keeping a close eye out for him curious if he is still alive or where he came from. I almost feel sad for him, but what can I do? Kill him with my pocket knife right there on the street? It’s not like Korea has a game warden I can call either.

If I find out more on this guy I will post more.
