‘Kyung-Tae’ in a truck suspected of animal cruelty, became an honorary courier

“I’m alone among the courier items, and it looks so dangerous. Is it okay to report this?”

Earlier last month, an online community posted an article suspicious of animal cruelty, claiming that a dog raised by a courier was left in a truck. However, the puppy in the photo uploaded by the author was very neat, and it was difficult to determine the abuse situation. A netizen who lives in the same neighborhood said, “It’s a dog that the delivery driver loves like a child. What is the reason for the abuse?” “A dog that everyone in the neighborhood loves” commented.

However, the first author continued similar arguments. He said, “The actual situation may be different from the one judged by the picture only,” he said. “I also contacted animal groups for consultation.”

However, the testimony of the local residents continued as the post received more attention. Those who identified themselves as residents living in an apartment in Gangdong-gu, Seoul warned that “the author is harassing the courier because he was not able to overcome his anger.” Since then, all articles suspected of animal cruelty have been deleted.

According to Mr. A, who works as a courier for CJ Logistics in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, the first time he met his dog was during the rainy season in 2013. It is said that the puppy who seemed to have abandoned it was at the end of the heartworm. Mr. A took him to the hospital for surgery, and thanks to his extreme care, the puppy regained his health. Now, the name of the dog, which has become a precious family, is’Kyungtae’.

However, it is said that it was because of the memory that was once abandoned, and while Mr. A went to work, Kyeong-tae cried so much that he was put in a delivery vehicle and started working. When moving a vehicle, I put it in the passenger seat, and when delivering goods, I put it in the luggage compartment so that each other could easily check the condition, which became a problem.

Knowing this, CJ Logistics sent a special gift for Mr. A. Gyeong-tae was appointed as the honorary delivery driver, and clothes and cakes were prepared for him.

Mr. A posted a post on the online community in the late afternoon of the 18th, saying, “I stopped by Kyeong-tae’s father again.” “The headquarters sent a gift to Gyeong-tae. In the photo, Kyeong-tae, wearing a blue jumper and a hat, smiles. Mr. A said, “I shook my snacks and took a picture of Kyungtae’s smile.” I respect all parents.” Netizens who read the article cheered Mr. A and Gyeong-tae, saying, “It’s a cold day, so you have a lot of trouble.”

An official from CJ Logistics said, “I prepared a small gift after seeing the warm story of a delivery driver caring for organic dogs. I hope that we can give joy to the troubled driver.”
