[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] The owner of the Border Collie mother and daughter, Kobi and Dambi, who had been suspected of 'habitual abandonment' after appearing on a broadcast, shared an update on their situation.

On the 29th, the KBS 2TV entertainment program "Dogs Are Incredible (Gae-neun Hullryanghada)" aired a segment about the owner of Kobi and Dambi, which had been controversial last week.

During the broadcast, Kang Hyung-wook called Kobi and Dambi's daughter owner and asked, "Are you okay?" The daughter owner replied, "I don't think I'm okay," and shared her current situation.

Kang Hyung-wook cautiously offered, "If there is anything we can help with, we want to assist. As a trainer, I don't know about other things, but I want to help with Kobi's training."

In response, Kobi and Dambi's daughter owner expressed her intention to become independent, saying, "I think it is right to take Kobi and live on my own."

Later, Kang Hyung-wook spoke with the mother owner, saying, "I wanted to talk about Dambi, so I wanted to speak with you. My feelings haven't changed yet. It may be difficult for the current owner to raise her."

The mother owner said, "If there is a better home for Dambi than ours, I was thinking of sending her there. I will discuss it a bit more with my daughter and let you know." Kang Hyung-wook responded, "We will help find an adopter and assist with the adoption process."

At the end of the broadcast, the production team called the mother and daughter owners of Kobi and Dambi again. When asked, "Have you thought it over?" the mother owner said, "I don't want to, but realistically, what Trainer Kang said seems right."

She added, "After discussing with my daughter, we thought, 'If there is a good place, it is right to send Dambi there.' I hope she goes to a warm-hearted home. I also hope Kobi receives good training and grows into a good dog."

Upon hearing this, Kang Hyung-wook said, "It must not have been easy, but I think you made a difficult decision. It's a dog you raised, right? It must have been very hard, so I hope people will support them." He added, "Appearing on a broadcast revealing all your personal belongings is really tough and requires tremendous courage."

Kang Hyung-wook encouraged, "You will do well. Our owners will also try their best, right? You will be able to feel calm and lasting happiness living with Kobi."
