KLANG: The Fire and Rescue Department rushed to a high-rise apartment in Damansara, Petaling Jaya last week to rescue a woman who was dangling her pet dog out of her 14th floor unit’s bedroom window. The security company also lodged a police report and policemen had visited her twice and asked the woman to stop screaming and throwing things out of the window or risk being arrested. One of the neighbours then contacted an animal welfare group and narrated how the woman was dangling her pet dog out of a 14th-floor window. After learning that the woman had been behaving strangely, the canine welfare group volunteer put him in touch with the Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA). “One has to be clear when seeking help and it was obvious here that the woman was distressed and may harm herself,’’ said Cheong.
