Canine rescuer Hitam dies of poisoning
By WANI MUTHIAH
PORT KLANG: Animal activists are in shock over the death of Hitam, the dog that was instrumental in saving the lives of many other canines dumped on Pulau Selat Kering recently.
Hitam, who died early this month, is believed to have been poisoned.
Hitam and “rescue partner” Kuning made headlines when they lured other dogs from the desolate island to a nearby floating fish farm.
The rescue operation was conducted by canine sanctuary Furry Friends Farm (FFF) and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal.
Hitam and Kuning were believed to be among the first batch of dogs dumped on Pulau Selat Kering by Pulau Ketam residents.
