Chef Lee Yeon-bok, the master of Chinese cuisine. He, who is known as’Master’, saw him late last January. He’s an energizer son with deep eyes and curiosity. The attractive point of this tricky guy who doesn’t keep his father still for a moment is the glossy white fur and rich tail. Yes, that’s right. Master Lee Yeon-bok’s late child is his dog’Birthday’.
It is said that it is the age of 10 million companions. Among them, there are many stars and celebrities. ‘The celebrity’s companion life’ to look into their wise companion life by looking for a celebrity with special love for pets. In the first episode, I visited Master Lee Yeon-bok and Birthday.

On my birthday, I have a painful past that was abandoned. When he found a guy grunting in the sewer last January, he couldn’t even open his eyes and he couldn’t walk properly. It was rescued, but it was sent to a stray dog center and was about to be euthanized two days later.
Master Lee Yeon-bok, who encountered this news on Instagram, said that he could not remain still. The family was also unified. He said he immediately commented.
“I’m Chef Lee Yeon-bok, and I’ll adopt it.”

The guy who brought me that way. I went to the hospital. I thought I couldn’t see because I couldn’t open my eyes, but fortunately, after being abandoned, my eyes had become sore from a wound. His eyes were open, but his stomach was full of roundworms and parasites, and he was infected with the parvo virus, which is a nightmare for his companions. The director of the veterinary hospital said, “It’s half the likelihood of survival. You may need to prepare your mind.”
It is said that Master Lee Yeon-bok’s extreme sincerity worked, and he endured long-term surgery, and after being hospitalized for about 15 days, he came to his house in Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. I’ll go see before and after photos.

It is so energetic now that Master Lee Yeon-bok sometimes wants to be alone and has to run away. When Master Lee Yeon-bok appears on the broadcast, he sometimes barks,’Don’t hesitate,’ as if his father was there. It’s a great birthday for my father’s love. The name’Birthday’ is said to have been created by Master Lee Yeon-bok in the sense of commemorating the rescued first day as if it were a new birth.
Master Lee Yeon-bok’s love for animals is famous. When looking for a tenant while moving, it is said that the condition that Master Lee Yeon-bok placed was a’cat mom person’. It means that you have to feed 7 to 8 street cats living near Master Lee Yeon-bok’s house. It is said that it was a condition that the children were betting on in fear that they would have nothing to eat.

Nevertheless, in recent years, they have been unable to keep pets at home. It was because the sadness that Choco, a former dog, experienced when crossing the Rainbow Bridge was so great. Choco was a brown poodle, and it is said that she adopted a child who had suffered from Payang’s pain. Let’s hear about Master Lee Yeon-bok.
“Choco was an improved poodle, but there are a lot of children who made it so pretty. I also went to the hospital often. Still, I’ve lived in good health for about 10 years, but one night I keep coming to my couple and whining. My wife hugged me and stroked me, saying,’Why is that chocolate?’ And then I suddenly dropped my head and went to the other world. I came to say my last greeting.”

Even now, Choco is smiling brightly on the screen of Master Lee Yeon-bok’s wife’s cell phone.

It is said that there are three things Master Lee Yeon-bok must say. The first is this.
–
Since pets are also a family, it means to express’adoption’ instead of’sell’ or’buy’. Master Lee Yeon-bok said, “If you raise animals, they become our family. I can’t even understand to throw it away. How to abandon your child? Some people say,’If the cuteness disappears when you are young, you will throw it away.’
–
Recently, abandonment as well as abuse cases are increasing. In this regard, Master Lee Yeon-bok says: “It’s okay if you don’t love. Each person may or may not like animals. But I hope I don’t abuse it.”
–
The second is a request to those who want to adopt. It is a message that asks you to think carefully about whether or not I can afford one life before adopting.
“It actually costs a lot of money to have a pet. It costs a lot of energy as well as hospital bills. Mixed-dog children are rather healthy, but improved children like these days have a lot of sickness.”
–
In the case of dogs, it was also emphasized that walking is also very important. Even Master Lee Yeon-bok, who has not been blinded by restaurant management on TV, said that for her birthday, she walks for an hour a day and works out.
The third is a request to the government. It is asking to establish a medical insurance system for pets. The background is this.
“In fact, in a way, it is a structure in which abandoned dogs are bound to occur now. (Animal) The hospital fee is too expensive. It is also a level that cannot be handled by relying on salary alone. Hospitals are so different, and children can’t tell where and how they are sick, so we have no choice but to do what the hospital asks. Some bad hospitals abuse it, so they can’t afford the hospital bill. Now that pets are family members, I hope that the medical insurance system can be created quickly.”
