They were presented as dogs of peace, not war.
And now, one of the two Pungsan hunting dogs North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un sent to South Korean leader Moon Jae-in in a bid to build good relations, has given birth to a litter of six puppies.
South Korea just released pictures of the peace pups, which were born to a pooch named Gomi earlier this month.
The three male and three female puppies were pictured frolicking with President Moon and his wife, Kim Jung-sook.
“Gomi and the six puppies born on Nov. 9 are all very healthy,” the official Blue House Twitter feed posted.

They are all so squee.
주말에 전해드렸던 풍산개 ‘곰이’ 새끼들의 사진, 딱 두 장 뿐이라 섭섭하셨죠? 더 많은 사진과 영상을 들고 돌아왔습니다! 순방길에 오르기 전 오늘 아침, 관저에서 새끼들과 인사를 나누는 문재인 대통령. 토실토실 건강한 강아지들의 영상과 사진, 함께 보시죠. 사진은 타래로 이어집니다. pic.twitter.com/sUW5OdtZ65

Because who doesn’t love puppies.
11월 9일 태어난 풍산개 ‘곰이’의 새끼들. 총 6마리가 태어났습니다.

But this is also about serious international relations.
President Moon tweeting soon after the puppies born that Gomi must have arrived in his country pregnant, and the gift of the two dogs has now grown by six.
“It is fortunate to have added six to two gifts,” he wrote. “I hope this is the case for inter-Korean relations.”
2마리의 선물에 6마리가 더해졌으니 큰 행운이 아닐 수 없습니다. 남북관계의 일이 이와 같기만 바랍니다.
