This story most likely left a strong impression on people, suggesting the resilience and bravery of Poongsan dogs.

[6] Above all, the Pungsan dog, being bred in mountainous regions, possesses strong physical endurance and high resistance to cold and diseases.

Ultimately, while they tenaciously pursue their prey using their instincts and temperament during hunting, in daily life, they are very well-mannered and loyal to their owners.

[6] According to NK News, international kennel clubs consider Pungsan dogs as "little more than a local Spitz-type variant of Siberian huskies, only less physically impressive and with behavioral issues".

[9][10] Born at the Pyongyang Central Zoo, the Pungsan dogs were originally named Dangyol (Unity) and Jaju (Independence), but were later renamed Uri (meaning We) and Duri (Two).

They initially lived in the Blue House, the residence of the South Korean president, before being moved to the Seoul Zoo, where they gave birth to 15 puppies before both dying at age 13.
