KUALA LUMPUR — A dog that was once abandoned at Taman Istimewa, Johor Baru before it was adopted, turned hero when its bark helped to chase a would-be robber away.
Taking to Facebook, the dog's current owner O Tak Tan said he was awakened by his dog's barking early Monday (Feb 22) morning.
“My neighbour, who stays opposite my house, was shouting that a thief had broken into her house.
“Armed with a big cane, my dog and I then rushed over to the house.
“According to her, the suspect had used a blunt object to hit her after she put up a fight when he tried to rape her,” he shared, adding that the suspect was forced to leave the scene empty-handed following the victim's cry for help and barks from his dog.
Responding to a comment, Mr Tan said he has been taking care of the dog for three years after its previous owner moved away.
