"A dog is a man's best friend"
This animal famous around the world as being pets, and many other kinds of roles, but here in Malaysia, the extremely touching story of the Pulau Ketam Dog Rescue Mission tops it all, if there ever was a story involving dogs! Heck, there could even be a movie based on this true story!
The moment these furry 4-legged friends of ours were to look into our eyes, it feels as though nothing else in the world matters, it feels as though the beauty of innocence had just been glared into our hearts, THIS is real magic!
The next thing we know, we are uncontrollably handing whatever food or crumbs we have in our hands to their mouths! And after gobbling down the food, they continue to lick our hands and fingers clean!
I am talking about dogs...
The recent Horrific news about dogs being abandoned at an isolated HELL island near Pulau Ketam left us all stunned! We wondered how can a Human do such things? More so, we heard people were paid per dog that is thrown there! There is no food on that island, there are many poisonous snakes, and many dogs who could not make it, died a terrible death. And for the remaining ones, they ate the carcasses of the dead dogs to survive.
The pertinent question is: "Who are the REAL Beasts?" The Humans who discarded these dogs, and let them die on that island? Or the dogs, who knew nothing of their fate, and was handed down their Death Judgement!
If that is what being a Human is, I'd rather be a Dog!
This is Kuning and Hitam. They are the REAL Heroes! They knew what the rescue team was doing, and they would jump into the sea near the island and they would go into the island, and bring out surviving dogs! Hitam even grabbed Fish from his home at the fish farm kelong, into his mouth, and swam to the island and gave that as food for the surviving dogs!
Kuning is like so much more efficient than a Baywatch lifeguard! Recently he went missing, 2 volunteers thought he was one of the abandoned dogs and took him home. Recently he was re-united with his owners at the kelong, who were Indonesian workers there. And he's now back to work! haa.
This is the platform created by the volunteers, and Kuning would bring out the surviving dogs onto this platform. Water and food are placed there so that the surviving ones can still have food and water.
The first picture above is of Kuning and his owner Adi, the Indonesian worker at the fish farm kelong.
The rescue was headed by Ms Sabrina Yeap, who deserves more recognition than any human I currently know! She is the founder of the FFF - Furry Friends Farm, located in Kundang. Many Volunteers from the country came up and offered their help, and together they formed a team, a strong team that leaves even the Superstar athletes in shame (Ronaldo's 80 million pounds?!?!?)
The dogs are brought to a vet before begin taken to this farm, where they would be properly cared for.
I am inspired to write about this topic as I know, there are still many good hearted humans in this world. Even Volunteers as far as Australia came to help! Check out these websites:

I am striving to not only save money for my honeymoon, house, but also to help our Friends.
This is an image of a Peaceful World, when people of different backgrounds, culture, race, all come together for a truly Commendable work!
Kudos to you all, good luck in your mission and God Bless the Dogs!!!
