One day, a dog (Huindungi) appears in the village of Mongneomi. The villagers drive it away because it’s a stray dog. Sometime later, when Gannan’s grandpa goes to the mountains, he finds Huindungi and its litter and takes care of them. He brings the pups to the village and gives them out to the villagers to raise them. The villagers raise the pups with care without asking where they came from.
