They don't look like the same dog but I was particularly struck by these two pics from Yeonpyeong. These bewildered victims of the North Korean artillery attack on the island must've been particularly shell-shocked and I really hope some kind soul will take them off the island soon as it looks as if Yeonpyeong may be a ghost town for some time. Even if they're not stray dogs to begin with, there's slim chance of them being reunited with their owners as most of the inhabitants have been evacuated already and putting up temporarily in jjimjilbangs in Incheon.

Caption from Yonhap News: Nov. 27, YEONPYEONG, South Korea -- A dog wounded by a North Korean shell that hit the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong earlier this week eats part of a combat ration from a South Korean man on Nov. 27. Most of the residents on the island have evacuated since the artillery attack on Nov. 23. (Yonhap)

Hi there,
Am touched by your desire to adopt the dog in Yeonpyeong. Have no clue if the dog's still there; it may have been claimed by its owner or it may be have removed from the island after the photo was taken.
If you are residing in Korea, you may try contacting Korea Times and in particular, the photographer, Bae Woo-han.
All the best,
ajumma
