A man goes above and beyond in Ipoh to give a stray dog a proper burial
In the post, Isaac shared three photos captured from inside a vehicle stopped at a traffic light junction, showing the man doing something by the roadside.
In the photos, the man can be seen using a hoe to dig a hole, while the carcass of a dog can be seen on the far right of the photo.
While Isaac didn’t elaborate on the photos, it is believed that the dog was killed on the road, and its carcass was just left there.
The carcass was then believed to have been moved by the man seen in the photos to the roadside so that he could give it a proper burial.
In the caption, Isaac wrote,
“Thanks, brother, for doing something that not everyone cares about. ”
Malaysians thanked the kind man for giving the stray dog a proper burial
In the comments, Malaysians were moved by the man’s selflessness and unanimously praised him.
One commenter thanked the man for his kindness in giving the dead dog a decent burial, while another hoped that the man be blessed for the humanitarian act.
Besides that, one commenter felt sorry for the dog as it must have crossed the road and got hit. Worse, it may have even left behind a few puppies that were waiting for it to return.
Meanwhile, one netizen said that with the burial, the man also removed a potential source of disease spreading to the local community.
