Stones hurt the dog and make cry the people. :[ He annoys much, but its loveable animal. Laughings loudly!! XD
ok from someone who knows korean it says
when passing the seagulls even if they caw instead of a rock please give the gull a smile
Ah…now I completely understand.
The Korean reads:
If you are passing by and Baekgu (generic dog name) barks, please give him a smile rather than throwing a stone.
Dammit people is it seagulls or dogs? I must know!!
its a dog name.

when dogs bark
When dog bark, please smile or dog take offence.
Don’t throw stones, dog not like that either.
*waits for some genius to leave actual translation…*
That’s why i always smile. ^^
Yes. Definitely always bare your teeth at a dog when they are barking at you.
Sounds philiosophical. Beautiful. We should make a tee out of this.
Indeed. It’s quite pleasant.
Isn’t that a Haiku? Doesn’t really sound like Engrish to me, more of a fail IMHO.
No, it’s not Haiku
Look for a syllable count
Of five-seven-five
Haiku definition WIN.
Haiku is pretty
But sometimes does not make sense.
Refridgerator.

Smiling at a dog is an act of aggression. They think you’re baring your teeth.
That depends on whether you smile with your mouth open or not.
yes, dogs never encounter smiling people so they all are completely unfamiliar with this human facial expression
I think this might be the translation:
“While passing by, when the dogs bark, instead of throwing stones, please give the dogs a smile.”
Sorry, not smile, but laughter. My Korean’s a bit rusty
Laugh at the dog that may maul you?
Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.
Well, hey if its tied up why not torment the thing.
And since you can’t throw stones, you should laugh and smile at the dog. *nodnod*
THOSE ARE MY SHOES
YOU ARE A DOG, GIVE THEM BACK
THEY DON’T EVEN FIT
Well, even though the Engrish sounds goofy, it’s actually pretty accurate.
Back in the day, dogs mainly lived outside (and were pretty annoying), so while adults would just pass by, little kids would throw rocks at them. (Also, I think “baekgoo” means white dog?) Anyway, the translation pretty much reads: “Even if the dogs bark as you pass by, instead of throwing stones, give them a smile.”
Still sounds awkward out of context.
Could be worse, though. Some of the neighborhood kids may have necklaces made of dog tails.
I believe the sign refers to the dog living at that residence, “Baekgoo” being its name. Hey, Baekgoo, I’ll toss you a grin! No? Maybe a tooth or too…
Sounds like excellent advice to me. I see no problem here.
..the implication that someone has thrown a rock at a dog for barking..
Um, duh.
If a dog is barking at me, I’m not going to smile. But won’t throw stones unless it attacks me.

Seagull? Baekgu literally means ‘white dog’.
Seagull…seagull…seagull……….Seagull…seagull…seagull………Seagull…seagull…seagull……….
Ah. white seagull! difficult word even for me.
That ’someone’ was just joking.
Baekgu is not a furious dog.
He was just curious and wanted to see the outside over the wall(high enough. though he was living upstairs).
Baekgu jumped, jumped, and jumped.
People was passing by, got scared and threw pebbles at him.
Nobody knew why the dog was jumping.
…..bla bla bla…….
The owner of the house made a small window in the wall.
Baekgu didn’t jump again.
not sure of what was this, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I find this cute!
the comment was weird to start out with even in krn
Sounds like something Yoda would say O_o
Yeah, tell that to the dog who took away my right arm!
i won’t smile i won’t throw stones i WILL run
