By chankahyein, on Saturday, December 12th, 2009 12:47 am

I made a trip up to Ketam Island, today, many months after my first visit in June when the Ketam dog dumping issue was still very “hot”.

Today’s trip was an invitation by INCOVAR, a youth group of college and varsity students (as well as graduates). I was asked to give an awareness talk […]

I thought I would not want to write about this, but it looks like I have to now.

In the course of discussing the Chow Chow situation today, I was blamed by this staff from the shelter that the rehoming of the Ketam dogs in Bentong has not turned out the way they had […]

We left in four cars today – mine, Mandy’s, Chee Onn’s and Jamie’s. It was raining quite heavily when we started, but the rain stopped when we reached LLLP.

Shall I let the photos tell the story?

I got everybody over to take […]

Ahh…here’s a photo of the three of us – Ainey, Terry and me – in our “uniforms” – the AnimalCare tshirt!

We arrived LLLF and as usual, we greeted by the friendly farm dogs. Bro Sui and some of his helpers were there to welcome us, too. Many of the workers were on Deepavalli leave, including Mr Mariappan, the one who looks after and feeds the dogs. Thanks to your generous donations, here’s my […]

Trip to LLLF (5th visit)

Hi everyone. I ecided to make a lightning trip up to Bentong today, to visit the dogs and also to send food supplies to them, and some goodies for the workers at LLLF.

I thought I would try Bentong town for supplies for a change. Who knows, it might be cheaper there. But no, it’s […]
