[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A dog was found precariously standing outside the railing on the top floor of a building in Cheongju, sparking controversy over animal abuse.

According to the police on the 1st, a report was received on the 29th at around 3:15 PM about a white dog dangerously standing on the railing outside the window of the top floor of a four-story villa in Gagyeong-dong, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju.

The dog was safely rescued by the police who arrived at the scene.

The owner in their 40s reportedly did not respond when asked by the police why the dog was left outside the railing.

A police official stated, "We are investigating whether the door was open and the dog went out on its own, or if the owner let it out."

Subsequently, two photos of the dog standing on the villa railing were posted on an online community, sparking further controversy.

The poster wrote, "The young owner was drinking and sleeping, and the dog was bothering him, so he put it outside."
