A Boeing 737-800 passenger plane of South Korea's Jeju Air unfortunately crashed on December 29 last year (2024), killing 179 people. Among them was a family of nine who boarded the flight and all died, leaving only the family's pet dog "Pudding" waiting for his owner to return home. After the news came to light, animal rights groups rushed to help and will temporarily take Pudding in until a suitable new home appears.
According to a previous report by this site, a family of nine on Jeju Air Flight 2216 traveled to Thailand to celebrate the elder's 80th birthday. On their return trip, they encountered a plane crash and the whole family died. Later, it was reported that this family also had a white mixed breed named "Pudding (푸딩)". Because he could not wait for his family members to show up, he kept going back and forth between the door of the house and the residents' association after the incident. Waiting for a familiar face, but not knowing that the owner will never come back.
After the sad news was exposed, the Korean animal rights organization "Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE)" immediately sent personnel to Yeonggwang County where the dog was located to check the situation. Pudding was found sitting quietly in the community. As soon as he saw the CARE personnel approached, it seemed that he thought his family was back and rushed to greet them, which made the staff even more reluctant to leave.
The organization said that because Pudding has no one to take care of him, wandering around the town may cause danger. Therefore, CARE will temporarily rescue Pudding and place him under care until Pudding finds a suitable guardian and begins the second half of his life.
