The Story
The Faithful Dog of Marado
Marado Island, South Korea2018
On Marado, Korea's southernmost island, lived Noorung with his elderly owners. When they fell ill and had to leave for medical treatment on the mainland, they couldn't take him along.
For over a year, Noorung waited faithfully at the rocky shore where the boats arrive, enduring crashing waves and harsh weather, hoping each arriving boat would bring his family home.
His story was featured on SBS TV Animal Farm, touching millions of hearts across Korea and the world. Now, $NOORUNG honors his unwavering loyalty through a community that will never abandon him.
