At about 9 on a Friday night, a friend and I went to Joseph as the last stop of the day. It is the cocktail and whisky bar in Gwangalli that [I also visited on April 21](/en/blog/gwangalli-joseph-20260421/). It is behind Pascucci, in front of the Haman parking lot.

This time the reason was a dog. A dog named Dongdong sometimes comes to this bar. My friend is not used to drinking but likes animals, so I wanted my friend to meet Dongdong.

When we arrived, Dongdong was not there. I said that was a pity, and the owner called Dongdong over.

My friend liked Dongdong too. The owner sat the dog on the seat beside us, and the sight of it sitting there made me laugh. The dog was heavier than I expected and hard to set down on the floor.

We drank while playing with Dongdong and ended the day in a good mood. [I went again in July](/en/blog/gwangalli-joseph-20260730/) and met Dongdong once more.
