EVERY decent pet owner is well aware of the responsibility trust into their laps since they are by default, in charge of the welfare of another being. But there is a world of difference between owning a pet goldfish and a giant dog.

For starters, a dog, with the exception of poodles and pekingese, might return home carrying a piece of meat that didn’t look like poultry or beef. It might look like your neighbour’s pet cat, or in a worst case scenario, your neighbour’s youngest child.

The video shows just how unpredictable a dog can be without the proper training. Netizens also need to note that dogs may be sweet with their owners but will not hesitate to attack another human being.

According to a report by the New Straits Times, the dog involved in the recent incident has been placed under the care of the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKJ) at its Animal Detention Centre.

In a statement, MPKJ’s Corporate and Community Development Department explained that council officers were dispatched to the dog owner’s home and also carried out checks in the surrounding area to capture other stray dogs, prioritising public safety.

The case came to light after a six-year-old boy from Batu 9, Cheras, was attacked while riding his bicycle near his house. He was rushed to hospital for treatment following the incident.

Kajang district police chief, assistant commissioner Naazron Abdul Yusof, said nearby residents intervened and managed to drive the dog away. —Sept 5, 2025
