A 5-year-old mixed breed dog was found on the ledge of a high- rise apartment at Taman OUG Parklane in Kuala Lumpur. The owner of the dog carelessly put him out on the balcony. The dog went onto the ledge of the balcony and got stuck. The dog got stranded on the ledge of 27th floor of the building.
Careless dog owner
A 52-year- old taxi driver, the dog’s owner said that he was unaware that it had walked away from the balcony and onto the window ledge.
According to the Veterinary Services Department enforcement division officer, Masdin Ubin said, “The owner, his wife and their two children were actually in the process of moving house. While packing up, he put the dog out on the balcony, but didn’t notice that the dog had slipped through the metal railings and went onto the ledge several times.”
Department officer Mohd Subhy Mohd Basaruddin said, “The dog appeared healthy and normal and the owner was sleeping when we arrived. He had no idea that the case had gone viral, or that his dog walked onto the ledge while being put out on the balcony.”
The dog’s owner described that he placed the dog out in the balcony to prevent it from messing up the packed stuff, as his family was scheduled to shift on Wednesday evening.
Dog owner repeatedly kept the dog out on the balcony
SPCA chairman, Christine Chin said that they had received alleged complaints about the owner putting the dog out on the balcony many times previously.
Chin said, “The management had issued a warning to the dog owner on Monday but the owner refused to stop.”
In the photo, the dog is seen standing on a narrow ledge without any railings. However, the complainant actually gave the wrong address to the management and the notice never got to the intended person,
“The dog owner didn’t receive them (the notices),” said Mohd Subhy
The department said that it had advised the owner against putting the dog out on the balcony in the future or it can be considered as a case of animal abuse.
“Under Animal Act 1953 section 44, those charged with animal abuse stand to be fined RM 50,000 or jailed for a year, or both.”
