Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) will hold the 183rd Gangseo Knowledge Vitamin Lecture under the theme "Not a Pet Dog but a Companion Dog, the Meaning of a New Family." The lecture can be viewed on the official Gangseo-gu Office YouTube channel for one month starting from the 25th.

Veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun, the lecturer, explains the difference in meaning between a pet dog and a companion dog, emphasizing the companion dog as a family member to be with for life, not just an object for enjoyment.

She also introduces five principles for the happiness of companion dogs and ways to reduce stress and provide stability for companion dogs at home. Through this, the lecture aims to share methods for both companion dogs and their guardians to live happily together as precious family members, not just pets.

Veterinarian Seol is an animal trainer and companion animal behavior correction expert who graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Konkuk University. She was the first veterinarian in Korea to obtain a certified trainer qualification from the KPA in the United States, a well-known animal trainer training institution.

She has appeared on various broadcasts such as EBS’s "There Are No Bad Dogs in the World," SBS’s "Animal Farm," and tvN’s "Dogs and Cats That Need Conversations," sharing knowledge about companion animal behavior correction. Her books include "The Dictionary of Dog Minds" and "Did That Dog Really Wag Its Tail Because It Was Happy?"

A Gangseo-gu official said, "This lecture was prepared to help foster a correct understanding of companion dogs as new family members," adding, "We hope this will be a time to learn how to live happily with companion dogs based on their emotions and language."
