A large dog appeared in the middle of the Yeongdong Expressway, causing a disturbance.

According to the Korea Expressway Corporation's Gangwon Regional Headquarters and Gangwon Province's firefighting headquarters, a white dog with a broken neckline was caught at the point of 163.5㎞ toward Yeongdong Expressway, Gangneung, near Sapgyo-ri, Dunnae-myeon, Hoengseong-gun, yesterday (26th) yesterday (26th).

The dog went up and down the 3~4km shoulder section of the ascending line, and the road construction company failed to catch it after receiving a report from the driver. Eventually, the fire authorities shot and captured a blowgun, an anesthesia gun, that was blown into the mouth of the exhausted dog at around 6pm. A dog that has lost its consciousness has since died from failing to recover.


An official of the Korea Highway Corporation said, "I was very surprised to find that the dog was very surprised and had to take it very carefully without stimulating it so that it would not jump into the highway." The fire department also explained, "Because it is a highway that is not easy to secure a driver's view, the risk of a secondary accident is very high.

The netizens who heard the news raised suspicions that they seemed to be abandoned dogs, such as "I'm glad no one was hurt," and "Who did you throw away at the rest station?"

In response, the fire department admitted that "the highway is a place where dogs are not easy to access," but said, "As the dog died, it was impossible to confirm whether the dog was abandoned."
