Missing Dog and Lost Dog

Con­tinu­ing the exten­sion of my volun­teer­ing work with SPCA Pen­ang, I bring you a miss­ing dog, and a lost dog. First, the miss­ing dog. Note that I am get­ting these mater­i­als from SPCA Pen­ang so all mater­ial are provided as received, no mat­ter how skewed the edit­ing, they are pub­lished as received. And finally, a lost dog.

Runaway Dog

If you are stay­ing in or around the Pulau Tikus area, see if you can spot this dog.

Breeding for Cruelty

I am rather pleased PZ Myers decided to post a BBC doc­u­ment­ary about ped­i­gree breeds, a level of invest­ig­at­ive journ­al­ism for a doc­u­ment­ary series that is admir­ably polite while being uncom­prom­isingly hon­est.

SPCA-KK Volunteer Update

As I may have pre­vi­ously men­tioned to my friends in real life, but never really got around to blog­ging about it, I have been volun­teer­ing much of my free time this semester in the local SPCA, which is just as much about want­ing to feel less guilty about myself not wast­ing time and money, as

Straymakers

An hour ago, I was bliss­fully enjoy­ing a con­ver­sa­tion with a friend when a dog I recog­nised strolled in through the gate of my ren­ted abode. It was my neigh­bours’ pet. After end­ing the con­ver­sa­tion, I pro­ceeded into my home, and was fol­lowed by the friendly ras­cal, who promptly barged his way into my ren­ted liv­ing
