Actor Bae Jung-nam shared his feelings on the first anniversary of losing his beloved pet dog.

On the 27th, Bae Jung-nam posted a photo and message on his personal account: "Our daughter's first anniversary. Time flies so fast. I miss you."

In the released photo, Bae Jung-nam is depicted commemorating the one-year mark of losing his pet dog Bell in September last year. Bae added, "I love you," expressing his heartfelt emotions.

Bae Jung-nam shared the sad news in September that his pet dog Bell passed away due to an unexpected heart attack. Bell had been diagnosed with paralysis from acute disc disease but showed a miraculous recovery after 1 year and 7 months of rehabilitation, touching many people. For Bae Jung-nam, Bell was not just a pet but family itself, deepening the sense of loss.

Since then, Bae Jung-nam has continued to express his longing for Bell on social media every day. He raised Bell with great devotion, calling her "my daughter" after appearing together on variety shows. Several years ago, when Bell contracted disc disease, he cared for her through post-surgery rehabilitation.

Bae Jung-nam appeared on SBS's "My Little Old Dog," where he met veterinarian Seol Chae-hyun and took a pet loss syndrome assessment test. Bae Jung-nam's score was 34 points, very close to the highly dangerous threshold. Seol Chae-hyun advised, "If left untreated, this could lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. It should become a happy sadness, but if it remains only as deep sorrow, you may feel sad and distressed whenever you see a dog, or develop anxiety disorders when visiting places you went together."

Following this, Bae Jung-nam overcame pet loss syndrome by traveling abroad with a Bell doll and appearing on broadcasts, receiving support from many.
