10. We saved an injured young dog

Good work of Civil Defence staff to rescue this young puppy- browny) updated 6th October, 2013


Dear friends of dogs,  (updated with good photo from Facebook of SPCA)

In the first day of 51st year of Malaysia, Allan Zinkler (An Australian) and Joshua Kong managed to save an injured young dog trapped in drain in Jalan Pelanduk, Tmn Kinamount before 4pm with the help of Sabah Civil Defence of Sembulan.

According to Allan, the little dog was inside the drain under the access road cover infront of the house next to Allan. 

Allan did not know what to do with the little dog until he brought me to collect some dog’s food from a restaurant in Damai.  Allan told me in his car that a dog was in the drain since morning.  Then I contacted SPCA if it can offer some help when i knew Sabah Civil Defence Department can do the rescue work.

Immediately I contacted 999 for Civil Defence Department and CVD told me the preparation to come to the place and after some hard work managed to drag the injured dog out of the draiin.


Since nobody including CVD could not retain the injured dog, Allan decided to keep the dog and would likely to send it to the  veterinary for the injured back foot. (no serious injury but a sprain)

The message of this unusual event speaks volume that we need to care for the dogs in Sabah.
