Several years ago, an elderly woman from Busan took in a stray dog from the street. The mongrel was named Fu Shi, and she became a loyal friend to the grandmother, brightening up her lonely days. But soon disaster struck the owner — the woman suffered a brain hemorrhage. Now she needs constant care and lives in a nursing home, unable to return home.
Fu Shi doesn’t know this. For the third year now, the dog has been waiting for her owner every day at the intersection near the abandoned house where they once lived together. She spends the night in the yard and in the morning goes out to the road, hoping to see a familiar silhouette. Neighbors and volunteers feed her and take her to the vet, but the mongrel always returns to her waiting place.
The story of loyal Fu Shi touched the hearts of Busan residents and gained nationwide publicity. Many compared her to Hachiko, the famous dog from Japan who also waited for his owner until the end of his life. Only this time, the story had a hopeful ending.
After media coverage, new owners were found who were ready to surround Fu Shi with care and love. Her former owner did not object, and now the dog lives in a family where she is cherished and loved. Loyalty and devotion have made Fu Shi a symbol of true canine love, and she herself has finally found her well-deserved happiness.
