Find Me A Home, Please?

One of the biggest source of stray dogs in Malaysia are building and road construction sites. Tycoons who are awarded million-dollar projects try to stinge on hiring guards. Instead, they encourage the construction workers and the lone guard to keep dogs to protect machinery and equipment. The foreign workers take care of the dogs quite well, no doubt. But when the project is completed, they move on and their faithful dogs and puppies are left to roam the streets on their own.

Sometimes, the loyal dogs are ordered shot or poisoned by the owner as they continue to hang around to guard the spanking new buildings.

Rescued this abandoned, unwanted puppy some time ago. Found it a home subsequently. Do not buy a cat or dog from a pet shop or puppy mill. Thousands of animals are waiting for adoption at pounds and shelters. Many will be put down 🙁

A Homeless Puppy

Bittersweet. A homeless puppy saying goodbye to the place and people it grew up with. Afraid that it will be run down by the many trucks swinging in daily, I took it to a shelter. Another puppy from the same litter was already flattened 🙁

When I first inquired about this young stray (upon seeing it playing behind a petrol station in Sekinchan), I was told it was fed by a kindly Malay farmer who couldn’t take him home. Luckily, I left my number with the attendants. After discussing with the farmer and gas station owner, they called me a week later to go get it. Quite touching to see the Bangladeshi workers saying goodbye, as they have kinda grown attached to the dog.
