[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] A story has emerged about a dog abandoned by its owner who had to endure alone in a house filled with filth, sparking outrage among netizens.

On the 19th, the abandoned dog shelter 'Helpshelter' located in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, revealed the story of an abandoned dog from Geoje Island through its official Instagram account.

The person who shared the story was Mr. A, the landlord of an apartment on Geoje Island. Mr. A said, "A tenant in the building I manage ran away leaving a puppy behind," and added, "I think a friend of the tenant came about once a week to give food and water, but it's amazing the dog is still alive," reporting the case to Helpshelter.

Mr. A also shared photos of the house where the dog stayed. In the photos, the living room is cluttered with various items such as blankets and clothes that appear to have been left behind by the tenant.

Inside the house, dog potty pads were laid out. However, they had not been changed for a long time, causing filth to overflow, and what appeared to be dog feces was dirtying the floor of the room.

Dog hair was scattered in the living room and kitchen, and mold had formed. This indicates that a considerable amount of time has passed since the tenant vacated the house.

Mr. A also released a video showing the situation when he first found the dog. In the video, the dog appeared dirty from not being washed for a long time and was picking up food off the floor to eat.

Netizens who saw the photos and video expressed their anger. Comments included, "So pitiful," "Humans really are the cruelest," and "How can someone abandon their pet like an old piece of junk?"

After discovering the abandoned dog, Mr. A began temporary care, conducted various tests and grooming, and then found a new family. The new family reportedly named the dog 'Thor' through Instagram on the 21st.

The new owner explained the dog's health status, saying, "Thor traveled from Geoje Island to Seoul for six hours without getting car sick and behaved well," and added, "He is slowly and bravely adapting well to his new home."

Netizens showed supportive reactions such as, "The original owner who casually abandoned the dog they raised is terrible. But it's really fortunate that Thor found a new owner," "Glad to see him adapting bravely," and "I hope he lives happily with his new family after suffering for so long."
