The dog was found at about 11pm on Friday, 28 January 2011 in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, KL.
I inquired with neighbors, residents walking their dogs, gated&guarded security guards, a dog-friendly restaurant, a vet, a pet food shop and 2 pet-groomers/hotels in TTDI but no one has ever seen this dog before. I had also put up huge A2/A3-sized posters at TTDI, Damansara Kim, Bukit Damansara, Hartamas, Damansara Uptown, Kg Sg Penchala and Bandar Utama but to date, there has been no claims.
The dog has no tag (only a collar) and no microchip (I checked with Malaysian Kennel Association and a vet). It had some surgery on its back. When I found it, the poor dog was suffering from a wound in one ear and an infection in another but after a visit to a vet and a week, it has recovered.
7 March update: I visited my vet to inquire how long it would take to develop that ear infection thinking that it may indicate how long he was lost. I was taken aback when the vet told me that the severity of the infection indicated at least a month at the minimum!
28 March update: Other than getting him on Heartgard and Frontline, I got him vaccinated. On a good note, the vet noted that he looked happy.
4 April 2011 update: Tried asking an old-timer vet in Taman Megah to see if he could have conducted the surgery but unfortunately, he couldn't remember. Anyway, I'm winning the war against ticks which the dog picked up while lost in the concrete wilderness.
17 May 2011 update: He's now tick-free after I pulled a hundred or so from his body and now on Frontline. I've also neutered him and have decided to adopt him. MDDB believed he's abandoned and I want to showcase him to highlight the plight of abandoned/dumped pets, even pedigree ones.
30 June 2019 UPDATE: In loving memory of Blackie.
