Arjun in Taman Megah & Taman Mayang

On Tuesday, January 20 afternoon, we received a call from a lady who was 100% certain that she and her daughter had seen Arjun in Taman Megah running from the new market building (presently under construction) on Jalan 24/9 towards the Taman Megah residential area (Jalan SS24/10). The lady was a resident from Jalan SS1/32 where we had distributed Missing Dog flyers a few days ago.

Unfortunately, the caller didn't keep the flyer in her car and she had to drive home to contact us. We appeal to everyone (since day 1): please keep the missing dog notice in your car & not at home. Also, please note that our address & phone numbers are engraved on Arjun's silver identification tag which he is still wearing (see below) and when you spot the dog, just look at his tag for our contact details.



Anyhow, we responded to that call by immediately rushing to Taman Megah and began an extensive search of the area & distributed flyers as we interviewed residents and people around the area. A group of students who gather at the playground on Jalan 24/4 every afternoon, stated they had seen Arjun the day before, recalling the 2 tags making a clinking sound as he walked. They assumed that he was a dog living in the neighbourhood and ignored him.

On Jalan 26/7 in Taman Mayang, we learned that Arjun walked into a couple of houses looking for help but unfortunately, again the homeowners/families chased him out without checking his identification tag nor providing food/water for a poor dog who was in distress.

As we talk to more residents, we continue to get more reported sightings of Arjun in Taman Mayang, where we have concentrated our efforts to locate him by distributing as many flyers as possible and talking with as many people as possible.

Please help spread the word around to your family & friends that if they see an animal or person in need of help, to please have some compassion and assist as much as possible. Because what goes around, eventually comes around.
