Rescue dog ‘Cheondoong’ retires after saving 12 lives
By Park Ju-youngPublished : Dec. 4, 2017 - 15:11
A rescue dog named “Cheondoong,” which is Korean for thunder, will retire Tuesday, Busan Fire Department said. The department will hold a ceremony to commemorate Cheondoong’s contribution to rescue operations.
Over the last six years Cheondoong, the 9-year-old golden retriever, was called to over 180 accidents saving the lives of 12 people, including a woman who got lost in Ahopsan Mountain in 2015.
Cheondoong has been adopted by a rescue dog instructor Hyun Kwang-sub, who trained his replacement “Yeongwoong.” The 3-year-old German shepherd will take over Cheondoong’s position from Tuesday.
