< Synopsis >

 

Families who are having a difficult time accepting their dog getting older and losing its energy.

As their place is selected as a redevelopment area, the families move, but the old dog barks as if it is reluctant to leave its

old house. In the end, they all move to the house of the eldest son. Not long after, however, the dog separates itself from

the family and goes back to the old house to live as an abandoned dog. Despite seeing the shabby appearance of the old

dog, the families ignored the dog, and soon they become used to this uncomfortable feeling. On a rainy day, the second

brother sees the old dog lying on its deathbed. Given the situation where it is difficult to evade or avoid, the brothers

reluctantly take turns in taking care of the old dog.
