It wasn't their fault to be born into a world like this


"Nikki ought to be thankful for having such a pampered life"

Out of curiosity, a few of us wanted to have a look at the puppy that was rumoured to be very adorable. So, right after class, we went to the uni's open carpark where the puppy is located. We were even excited when the guard told us that there were actually 2 puppies. However, the excitement turned into sorrow after seeing what we saw.
Both puppies were found among the "lalangs", the female puppy had a humongous ant stuck in its eyeball while the male puppy had maggots and flies over it. Adnesh, Kah Tuck and I rushed to the nearest vet.

Look what the maggots had done to the poor puppy.
The maggots were eating its flesh. The wound is not so visible here but it is indeed deep.
The open wound is just a small opening for the maggots to enter the body, the upper flesh beneath the skin are mostly gone.
The male puppy. It is just so weak that it doesn't want to eat or drink
And now that's the adorable female pup that's dominating the food
Brotherly and sisterly love
Not so lovely after all, she kept kicking his face with her paw LOL
Aww but they are still so lovely
She was with her brother all the while when he was in pain


On the right: The dog food sample that the vet gave

Not bad eh? It's quite good quality according to my dad

So, after visiting the vet, we "camped" at the uni's main entrance to find ppl to adopt the puppies. It was difficult at first, some were not even interested, some gave a quick "NO", some didn't even dare walk near us and there were some who practically looked down, walked past us and pretended that they didn't see us!!

But towards evening, there were many concerned kind-hearted ppl who offered to adopt the puppies. There were many ppl who took interest in the puppies, accompanied them for the day, help spread the news and in many more other ways they showed their concern and care.

Too many to list down here, but I'm sure the puppies are very grateful to everyone who helped them =))

*Kah Tuck named the female puppy Annie as she got bitten by an ant and named the male one Maggot! He couldn't modify the word maggot into a nicer name. Sounds so wrong right? LOL
