Happy updates! The puppy is now safe and sound. Kudos to Elaine and all who had helped. Elaine even specially purchased a carrier just for this rescue.
From Elaine:
Hello Dr. Chan,
Just to update you regarding the puppy. First time (around 4pm) we were unable to capture the puppy. The puppy cleverly eluded us by hiding from under 1 car to another no matter how we try to coax the puppy out with food/water the puppy ignore us. My friend managed to grab the puppy legs & got bitten. We then decided to end it as the puppy manage to run into a very tight small lane to hide. We & the volunteer separate as they have another case around the same area. While my friend went to clinic to disinfect & get a tetanus jab.
As volunteer Jennifer & her hubby wanted to pass back the carrier to me, her hubby say why not we try a 2nd time to capture the puppy. We finally able to capture the puppy around 6.30pm. We then in separate car the puppy with the volunteer couple going straight to summit. The puppy is handed to Wani & her group (MDDB). The puppy seems anxious & may try to escape so we din't try to remove the puppy from the carrier. So Wani will take it from there. I will check in with her from time to time.
Thanks alot for your advice & help, goodnite
p/s: Wani may want to take the pics of the puppy from your blog
