The Korean Jindo dog is a breed of hunting dog that originated on Jindo, an island just southwest of the Korean Peninsula, and is celebrated in its native land for its fierce loyalty, homing instinct, and brave nature. The Peterborough Humane Society is transferring 15 dogs of different breeds, including the Norweigan Elk Hound, Tossa, and Korean Jindo, from Montreal to Peterborough for adoption. The 15 dogs are part of a group of 80 dogs that Humane Society International rescued from a Korean meat farm, where they lived in terrible conditions and were fated to be slaughtered. This photo of a Korean Jindo pup was part of a 2014 story on the breed in The New York Times. (Photo: Jean Chung for The New York Times)
