Help this kind old man ):

"As many of us know, it has been raining for the past few weeks in Singapore. The wind and rains are particularly strong in the forested areas. One day, an 80 year old man was taking his routine walk when he heard a yelp – sounding like a piteous cry for help from a far distance. He was curious and began walking through the difficult wood to search for that cry. After 45 mins of tedious hunt in a heavily forested area, hurting himself through dead trees, snagged by pricky thorns, thick undergrowth and multilayered canopy dominated by large trees and accumulations of dead leaves and rotten wood.

The kind old man finally saw a lonely mommy dog with her 8 pups trapped by dead logs in the dense forest. As there was no way for him to remove the logs, he went home and brought along a chisel, an axe and trowel to start removing the logs and making small pathway for the mommy and pups to walk. As he is old and did not have any other help, the old man spent one full day removing all the obstacles to rescue the family. He carried the pups and made a makeshift room for them to rest and went off to cook a simple meal for them to eat

As age is catching up, the old man suffered a terrible backache and fatigue; he was sick for many days and was unable to get out of bed. As he lived alone, there was no one to care for him, much less cook for the dogs. The mommy was hungry and started bringing her pups to the deep forest to search for food which resulted in 3 deaths as they were either starved to death or crushed by the falling dead trees.

The old man is pleading for kind souls who have the space and love at home to give the puppies a chance in life to call it their home as well. Right now we are trying to help him rehome them since they are very young and when time is right, we will have mommy sterilized, if we can get near enough her to catch her.

Many have suggested to the old man to bring the pups to SPCA as there are so many others out there also looking for home. We are as torn on how to help him but we will try this avenue first"

If anyone is able to help and wishes to view and adopt the puppies, please call HP: 9765 9951 or email to alim0703@yahoo.com.sg.
