Thankfully, there are caring Malaysians out there who would do everything in their power to help our poor animal friends.
A very kind act
Image credit: Facebook/Aqluq Hakimi Saiful AulaA photo showing a stray doggo seeking shelter in a convenience store during a recent thunderstorm has gone viral online.
A customer, who goes by the name of Aqluq Hakimi Saiful Aula, wrote on his Facebook page that he was shopping at an undisclosed 99 Speedmart outlet when he stumbled upon the doggo napping comfortably on a stack of dry dog food.
“The Speedmart employee said the loud thunder scared the dog, that’s why it ran to hide here,” Aqluq wrote.
The employee told Aqluq that the same doggo would always go into the store to hide every time there is thunder and heavy rain.
Aqluq's post was even shared on Twitter, where it has since amassed more than 26,400 likes and retweeted more than 12,800 times.

Kalau masuk FB bahaya ni. We should protect this place, please dont disclose the specific shop. Melayu conservative ni definisi syurga dia lain ?

Salute to the workers there. Tolong haiwan jalanan pahalanya besar. Tak kusah anjing je kucing ke..if they need shelter or food..kite bagi je..nanti tuhan balas dgn ganjaran lebih besar. Haiwan jalanan tu bkn macam haiwan yang dibela..they dont have basic needs too. SAVE ANIMALS.

As a stray dog lover and a saviour, please continue to treat any stray dogs you see nicely and do not assume they know how to find food. Being stray is sad, they live a shorter life because they get depressed, and have no medical attention.

There were those who even suggested that they would adopt the poor doggo if the circumstances allow it:
