A mother-dog and her three puppies had wandered into the home of a lady in PJ and she was giving them shelter. However, the mother-dog escaped and was caught by the council and brought to the pound.
A rescuer came to know about it and wanted to save the mother-dog, so he talked to the lady. The lady said she would only take the mother-dog back if the following conditions are met:
1. Someone pays for the spaying (we agreed immediately).
2. Someone buys the dog license (the rescuer said he would gladly pay the RM20)
3. Someone retrieves the dog from the pound (the rescuer said he would do this).
Apparently, the dog was brought in on Saturday and the rescuer had visited the pound on Monday but wasn’t sure which was the dog.
Only today, the rescuer could correctly describe the features of the dog, and sad to say, the dog had already died on Tuesday. The cause of death could be due to fights or other reasons.
He was two days too late.
Now, the three puppies are orphaned.
It it so sad.
Lesson 1: If we really want to rescue any animal, never wait, please. Do it on the spot, if you can. Waiting could cost the animal its life.
Lesson 2: If we wish to provide shelter to any dog, please keep the dog away from the streets, especially in areas where the dog-catchers do a daily patrol.
May the mother-dog be in a better existence and may her three puppies be able to fend for themselves and grow up in a sheltered environment, away from the nets and loops of dog-catchers.
This is the plight of stray animals.
CNRM, please.

This dog-catching move should be stopped totally by the government. Instead they can help catching the stray to be NEUTERED ONLY.
Why cant this CRUEL AUTHORITY work hand-in-hand with animal sanctuaries to save the lifes of these poor innocent defendless animals instead of enjoying killing them.
Cant anything be done STOP this cruel act?
As it stands now, the authorities have not agreed on not catching ear-notched animals. So, the next best thing for us to do is to do massive spay-neuter so that IN TIME, the complaints will stop. Once the stray population is kept at bay, there might be less complaints. Less complaints, less capture-to-kill. That's what we are working at now. It's long term, but we have to start it and do it. We can't compare with countries like Thailand, Bali, India, Sri Lanka where the authorities are willing to work with the animal-lovers and they are sympathetic towards the animals. Our country is, unfortunately, different. Nevertheless, we still do what we can, and hopefully, in time, the authorities MIGHT want to work together with the animal-lovers? Always remain hopeful and positive. Never give up. The moment we give up, the animals will suffer. They depend on us.
I totally agree with your 'Lesson 1'.
Many a time, I read postings about animals in distress but at the same time, these reporters couldn't be bothered to lift their fingers to help beyond their keyboard or iPhones and speeding past these poor animals.
That's why I would volunteer to help out for rescues ONLY if that reporter would take responsibility for the rescued animal which include foster care.
Everybody should understand that rescuing is only one small part of a very long and difficult journey to getting the doggie/kittie rehabilitated and re-homed.
