My daughter was about to grab us some early morning breakfast.
He had suddenly approached her complaining about stray cats that peed on his shoes.
I was upstairs wondering what the hell?
After his lengthy, loud blabbering. my daughter replied okay, and got into her car.
He had earlier a very loyal pet.
Though he and his wife seemed to love the bitch, I always saw him whack and scold his dog.
It probably got its owner ultimately disgusted.
For the black, sleek dog is now no where to be seen.
Since I moved in, I noticed that the missus would trim the matted hair and bathed their dog, but everything the confused dog does seemed to be wrong.
It would relentlessly show its usefulness by barking loudly from within the gate whenever any stranger or unknown vehicles pass by day or night.
When the owners come home, she'd wag her tail like mad.
Sadly, she portrayed a forlorn, unloved man's best friend snoozing on the front cement.
There were times when the owner forced her to sit under the hot sun as punishment.
The lady owner would occasionally deny her entry back after allowing her to go out for 5 minutes or so to do her business.
There was a day when I think the reason was because she befriended a young male, stray white dog.
Somehow, they were forever annoyed with her for even the slightest reason.
Sent away a few months ago to God knows where, a stray cat must have started sneaking into his garage and marking territory.
Even Mr Wong's grandchildren's school shoes next door got the brunt of Happy the devoted dog being gone.
Otherwise before this, there were no such urinating incidents.
A few houses away, an elderly Chinese lady used to pluck some of the leaves of his pomegranate with his permission and right in front of his eyes.
However after the two times I saw her doing it, this arrogant front neighbor chopped down his beautiful, fruiting delima tree.
I was so disappointed because there were a few breathtaking, green rubies parading daintily.
He was actually fuming inside.
And today he is pissed off with the innocent stray cats.
He came over to blame the regular strays that usually drop by my garage and one that literally grew up from birth in my compound.
He told my daughter to cage this particular stray cat.
For those who conveniently lack compassion for strays, regardless cats or dogs and other animals, they must be constantly reminded of Malaysia's Animals Welfare Act.
