SBS 'TV Animal Farm', the hidden story of Dal-i the pet dog who avoided his 87-year-old grandmother... hits 5.0% peak rating

In the episode of SBS 'TV Animal Farm' broadcast on the 30th, the heartbreaking story of an 87-year-old grandmother and her pet dog, Dal-i, was revealed. The broadcast recorded a viewership rating of 4.3% based on Nielsen Korea's Seoul metropolitan area households, and at the moment the cause of Dal-i's pain was revealed, the peak rating soared to 5.0%, taking first place in the same time slot.

The reason why Dal-i avoided his grandmother

Behind the behavior of 10-year-old pet dog Dal-i, who kept his distance and rarely approached despite the grandmother's calls, lay long-standing pain. As a result of visiting the hospital with the production team, it was confirmed that Dal-i was in a state of elbow dislocation. The bone, which had been dislocated for a long time, was irritating the surrounding tissues and causing extreme pain. The fact that Dal-i had refused baths and struggled with walks all this time was not mere sensitivity, but a signal of pain sent by his body.

Hope for recovery through surgery

Dal-i had been experiencing discomfort in his left front paw since he was first found abandoned in a box by his entire family in the past. Although the surgery was not an easy situation, the medical staff provided a hopeful opinion that Dal-i could walk again through surgery. Fortunately, the surgery was completed safely, and Dal-i has opened the possibility of escaping the pain and becoming close to his grandmother again.
