Thanks, Andy. So it looks as though big dogs aren’t intimate pets as they are in the USA. Too bad, since bigger dogs tend to be better friends.

@Brian,
From what I have seen, there is no such thing in Korea as an indoor/outdoor dog. The bigger dogs always live in the courtyard and the rat-dogs stay in the house except for when they are taken for walks. I have no idea about paw cleaning for snuggle-muffins.

I have a question about the Korean relationship to larger dogs. If the household floor is not supposed to be touched by outside shoes, then what is the general policy regarding dog paws? Do people wipe their pets’ paws every time they come in for a walk? Or do they keep designated rooms that don’t have clean floors beyond which the dog may not travel? Thanks.

I’m with you on this one Marmot. It is very disturbing to see Koreans turn their backs on 4,000 years of Korean history and culture to blindly follow corrupt western customs.

Put the “dog” back in hot dog, I always say.
