The wonderful work being done by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better

Many of us opened the Star newspaper one morning and were horrified at this image, thinking what cruel, heartless human being could have caused this dog to look like this. While many would chose to do nothing or at the very least send it to the animal shelter to be put down to save it from misery, the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better Team decided to give the dog a chance to live a good life. They set out to heal it first from its skin condition.

After medical care, good food and tender loving kindness, this is how the dog looks today.

To the animal shelters who are mere dumping grounds for unwanted pets and strays and do nothing to educate people (for education is the key) this one act of kindness speaks volumes and have educated thousands watching.

During the time Christians are celebrating Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, let me quote St. Francis Assisi, "Go out to the world and evangelize. Use words, if necessary."
