The Dog


Dear all, Meet "Siu Pak" ... direct translation would be "Little White". I think its suppose to be a German Spitz but no one knows because its a stray. Probably a mixed breed... Anyway, this is a tale of a homeless dog that found its way to numerous homes and finally found a permanent home WAY UP THERE!.... =.=

Siu Pak, which I nicknamed her as she was a homeless stray and was running around the streets in Kuantan. One one of the many visits to my girlfriend's home, I met this dog that was running/lepak'ing in the lorong of my girlfriend's house. I was already informed of this infamous dog by my girlfriend before I visited her home. I was very keen in seeing this dog as I love dogs a lot(probably being born in the year of dog has a reason to do with it).

Siu Pak was a stray that looks for food in that particular street. As she looks clean and not so stray like, people around the neighbourhood would feed her. She(the dog) so happened settled down on my girlfriend neighbour's house. This puppy made an unofficial home there and the owner didn't mind too. She had the freedom to roam around but she was a coward who never leaves that street. On the evenings, people will come out and leave food for her to eat. So did my girlfriend's family. They fed her when they had leftovers from dinner.

This pup was living happily i guess... Being able to be free yet fed by many. She's very particular in her food as well. She won't just eat anything you feed her :P. When I was there, I became very fond of it and played with it on the afternoons when I was in Kuantan. On the subsequent trips to Kuantan, I'd take the chance to play with the dog too.

My girlfriend's family didn't really had any attachment to the dog in the beginning. Perhaps it was only natural that after some time, everyone got accustomed with having the dog around and liked it. They bathed the dog, spent more time with the dog... The dog even moved over to my girlfriends house as she was kicked out of her previous home >:P. Its been a while since I saw the silly dogs face. Like my girlfriend said, Siu Pak is coward who never steps out of that road. It really made home there with lots of people.

Anyhow, I won't have the chance to see her anymore though... A dog that never left the road, took a long long trip all the way up there... Waaaaaay~ up there. (all dogs go to heaven) Sad but true. Just when everyone loved her, she went out of the road, and probably some drunk bastard or speeding arses knocked it down. She was missing for a day. Everyone misses her, wondering where she went. Then some neighbourhood friends claimed that they saw a white dog on the road. Lifeless... SIUUUUUUUUUUU PAAAAAAAAAAAK~~~!!! May she find happiness in her new found home.

Guys... I'm not crazy.... Just someone who appreciates dogs a lot.. Well, that's all I have to share today.
