Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })How to Steal a Dog is a 2014 film from South Korea directed by Kim Sung-ho.Ji-so is a 10-year-old girl. She is homeless, living in a pizza delivery truck with her mother Jeong-heon and little brother Ji-seok. In the backstory her father abandoned the family, the pizza delivery business having been a failure. Her mother is working odd jobs in a desperate effort to keep the three of them from starving, but their existence is precarious.Ji-so spots a real estate flier advertising homes for $500 "per square" (meter). She interprets that to mean that there is a place called Per Square where houses cost five hundred bucks. So Ji-so, helped by her brother and by her enthusiastic classmate Chae-rang, set out to find a way to get $500. When she sees a flier advertising a $500 reward for a lost dog, Ji-so has an idea: steal a dog from a rich person, return it, and collect a reward.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As chance would have it, Ji-so's mom was just fired from her job as a waitress, at a restaurant owned by a bitchy old lady—who happens to have a cute little dog named Wolly.

Animated Credits Opening: Starts with a cartoon, accompanied by Ji-so's narration, telling Aesop's fable of "The Hares and the Frogs." Ji-so rejects that fable's moral, that there's always someone worse off, believing that her life is pretty darn bad at the moment.

Answer Cut: As the two girls talk about kidnapping Wolly, Ji-seok asks "Did you find a place to keep him?" Cut to a crude cardboard doghouse that the kids constructed.
