SAVED: Murugan rescuing 'Mr Miracle' from Pulau Ketam. The dog was wounded from fighting with other dogs
On May 26, the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals volunteers A. Murugan and Jorg Bandlow, and a crew from TV2, had gone to survey the population of dogs at Pulau Ketam, accompanied by one of the village heads.
As they were approaching a little landing, they saw a dog in the water under a walkway. But the villager said this dog was a nuisance and aggressive.
Seeing the tide was rising and the dog drifting helplessly in the current, Murugan quickly grabbed a leash and leaned over the walkway towards the water.
He skillfully looped the dog and used a second loop around its body to pull it out of the water.
"The dog was exhausted and suffered from wounds on its body and neck. We suspect it has been fighting with other dogs. He was easy to handle and seemed surprisingly friendly, contrary to what the villager had said," said SPCA assistant manager for marketing and communications Jacinta Johnson.
"The dog was then transferred into a cage and was given some food and water. It seemed grateful and relieved."
After the rescue, the survey team continued with their mission and counted 50 dogs on the island.
When the survey team returned to Kuala Lumpur, their new friend Mr Miracle came along and was sent to the veterinary. It was discharged yesterday after more than a week of treatment.
"He is back with us now and his wounds are healing well. He pleasantly sniffed our office dogs and looked around with his peaceful gaze. He seemed content and grateful," added Jacinta.
