Last week Pyongyang sent two rare Pungsans, Korean hunting dogs, to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, as a token of the growing friendship between the two countries.

Named Songgang and Gomi, the dogs were transferred via the truce village at Panmunjom on the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between the Koreas on September 27, along with three kilos (6.6 lb) of food to help them adapt to their new home.

According to the Blue House, Kim and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, suggested the gift to Moon at a dinner in Pyongyang during the South Korean leader's historic trip to North Korea last month, with Ri promising they have "certificates of pedigree."

Why do you ask, two dogs?

[Mr. Blond]

For when you get hungry 20 minutes later.

Also gave them a book...”How To Wok Your Dog”.

Why not?

These are: “rare Pungsans, Korean hunting dogs”.

Sounds nice.

[Kriggerel]

And South Korea said they were delicious.

Also gave them a book...”How To Wok Your Dog”.

After you have woked your dog, you sit down for a bowl of hot dog wok.

A friend was working in the Philippines(?) and the two locals he was with were arguing. He could tell that they were arguing, and he asked what about.

“He say white dog taste better, but everybody knows black dog is better.”

Although these are two white dogs, so I have no idea why two dogs. (One to keep the other company? In case one of the surveillance bugs conks out?)

[2ndDivisionVet]

I was there two full years. I saw dogs for sale as food one time.

[piasa]

Maybe a male and a female so thy can start a line.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I believe it is a male and female dog, they are meant to breed, the meaning is the two countries coming together as the two pups will!!!!

[BunnySlippers]

Very pretty.
