Recently, the Malaysia Animal Association posted on Facebok about how shocked they were after receiving a response from a man when they asked if he could help feed some stray dogs.
Based on the post, the Malaysia Animal Association was asking a restaurant owner if he happened to have any leftovers or even bones they could collect to feed the 36 stray dogs that are under their care.
