（馬六甲）牠天生就只有一顆眼睛！這只命運悲憐的小貓出世時只有一顆眼睛，與其他小貓相比，單眼貓的樣貌顯得奇異突出，活像電影中的外星貓。
全身黑毛的單眼貓身上毛髮稀疏、指甲尖銳，大大的眼睛長在嘴巴上面，連鼻子都看不清楚，在馬六甲國能倉庫打掃時發現它的56歲員工阿布哈山形容，單眼貓的耳朵長得像猿猴。
不過，這只小貓的壽命只有短短的24小時，當阿布哈山隔日重返倉庫準備喂它喝奶時，卻發現它已逝世了。

新加坡‧伴隨逾10年‧男子為患癌狗兒皈依
（新加坡）男子找法師，為愛犬皈依。
一名愛狗的男子，獲知伴隨10多年的愛犬患上癌症，特請法師為狗兒皈依，希望它來世能投胎做人。
為狗兒舉行皈依儀式的是圓覺佛教中心的如宏師傅。他在5月1日勞動節，在男子的住家，舉行了這個非一般的皈依儀式。
據瞭解，男子是一名經紀，年約40多歲，已婚。
皈依儀式和人幾乎相同
如宏師傅表示，所選的日子純粹是根據狗主的方便。師傅透露，為狗兒所進行的皈依儀式和人的幾乎一樣。儀式是在男子的住家舉行。
“我們準備了一張桌子，上面有一尊釋迦摩尼佛的雕像。我為狗兒頌經，唯一不同的是發願的部份，就由主人代勞。”
狗兒皈依後，法號“文德”。
如宏師傅說，許多人把寵物當成家中的一份子，為死去的寵物超度，他也主持過幾次，但為狗兒皈依這還是第一遭。
他說，眾生皆有佛性，狗也是眾生，也有佛性，因此他答應為狗兒皈依。

Moroccan Jailed For Selling Hot Dog... Literally
CASABLANCA, MOROCCO: Taking things a little too literally, a Moroccan man was jailed for six years for selling customers dog meat instead of beef, a judicial source said last Friday (January 30th).
The man, who admitted mixing the dog meat with chemicals to conceal the different smell and colour, was also made to pay a fine of 10,000 dirhams.
A Casablanca court also sentenced four other men to between eight months and four years in prison for their part in hunting and shooting the dogs.

Critically Injured Dog Missing Half its Face Dumped
This is the story of a horrifically injured dog and a hero. Last week a woman in an older green van drove up to the Humane Society in Dickson, TN, open the door and dumped a dog out, saying she didn’t want it anymore and sped off.
A Humane Society worker chased after the ran but was unable to catch up to it and it was quite obvious that the dog was seriously injured, even though she too attempted to chase after the van and the owner that so unceremoniously dumped her.
When the dog, a 3-4 year old Lab/border collie mix that shelter workers named Hania, a Lakota word meaning “spirit warrior,” was examined, they found that half the dog’s face was practically missing, either from being shot or possibly hit by a vehicle, and the dog had been living with this injury for an extended period of time, possibly months. She had also recently given birth to a litter of puppies and was still nursing.
The hero in this story is Dr. Barry Fly of Nolensville, a veterinarian who donated his time to perform the desperately needed surgery on Hania that will allow her to live a more normal life.
Hania’s left eye had to be removed, Fly said Friday, and “we had to reform her lips and around her mouth area. We had to remove some fractured teeth that had caused an infection.”
Thankfully Hania is healing well and unlike most dogs, won’t look at a visit to the vet’s as something traumatic but as something that is welcome because now she can actually do something that was almost impossible for her before, she can eat.
“She has become our clinic pet,” Fly said. “Everybody wants to pet her and feed her. She seeks out affection. She’s going to make somebody a great dog.”
Now authorities want to try to track down the woman who dumped Hania. She could be charged with animal cruelty; illegally abandoning an animal and not giving it proper medical attention.
As for Hania, her future is looking much brighter now. After she recovers she’ll have a chance to be adopted into the loving home she should have had from the start.
Kudos to you Dr. Fly and of course wishing the best to Hania! As for the despicable cretin who left this poor girl to suffer injured for possible months, may you burn in hell and feel a measure of the suffering, pain and misery you put this sweet dog through!

把兴趣化为职业．专门店照顾狗狗
狗，是人类最忠实的朋友，为我们守护家园，也能安抚我们不安的心灵。有人会把狗当作自己的知心朋友，每日与它诉说心事，也有人把狗当作自己亲生儿女般看待，对它无微不至的照顾。
Lucky Pets Prefer Center店主饶敏琦（Ginny）自从小学时捡了一只狗回家后，她就对养狗很有兴趣，也十分疼爱狗儿。
逐渐的，她开始对养狗有了自己的心得，也常常和朋友一起分享养狗心得，教导他们应该如何照顾狗儿等。她也因为疼爱狗儿，去上了宠物美容、狗儿训练师等课程，当时只为了照顾自己的爱犬。
接著，因为吉兰丹州缺乏为宠物狗提供服务的专门店，许多朋友在爱犬遇到问题时，都得到外州去寻求有关的服务，所以，朋友就鼓励她开设狗儿专门店，为他们提供专业的资讯及服务，于是她便把兴趣转为职业。
如今，这间店除了有为狗儿提供美容服务之外，也为狗儿提供护理的服务，许多顾客的爱犬生病时，都会送往这里接受治疗。Ginny这儿也提供狗儿训练的课程，让狗儿学会接受一些简单的指令，让主人不必再因为爱犬的顽皮好动而头疼。
店內拥有多种宠物狗，让喜欢狗的人前来挑选，但是也接受订单，协助找寻特定品种的狗儿，例如德国狼犬、黄金猎犬、松狮犬等。她说，丹州如今已经有了很多品种的狗儿，但是，若是要养狗，在之前必须顾及自己的环境和生活，別在最后发现无法適应，或无法照顾狗儿时，就把狗儿拋弃。
店內还摆列著各式各样供狗儿使用的日常用品，其中有狗粮、药物、维生素、玩具等，里头还有精美的衣服供狗儿打扮呢！

Please help these strays of Pulau Ketam
A message I received from my volunteer group: Hope we can help! Dear Angels, I'm appealing to you as we have found something that needs dire attention, not about kids this time, but about dogs. About 300 stray dogs were rounded up by Pulau Ketam residents and deported to an isolated island to fend for themselves. Over half of them are already dead and the remaining ones may not live long. A rescue mission is being mounted and your help is needed. The residents of Pulau Ketam sent some 300 stray dogs to exile on a remote island where the harsh conditions almost certainly guarantee a horrible death. Of the 300 dogs sent there, more than three-quarters are presumed to be already dead. I traveled to the island with Sabrina Yeap of Furry Friends Farm and managed to save only one dog on this reconnaissance trip. We did see several other starving and dying dogs along the mangrove shore. I am mounting an urgent rescue mission to capture and transport the remaining survivors back to Sabrina's Furry Friends Farm animal shelter. But time is running out and there might be only skeletons and carcasses left to collect on our next trip. Boat hire is expensive there. It is a tourist area and it has already cost me a few hundred ringgit for boat hire alone, so far. The rescued dogs cannot be transported on the regular ferries. Almost nobody will lift a finger to help without a fee. This is understandable. The locals are already shaking their heads in disbelief that there are outsiders who want to save the animals they so casually discarded. Instead of pointing fingers and antagonising them, we need their co-operation to help save the unfortunate creatures. In the process, we also hope to educate the islanders on better treatment of animals. It would be an impossible mission if we didn't win their hearts. If you are unable to help directly, please help by forwarding this appeal to other compassionate folks who you feel might be able to make some monetary contributions. Apart from boat hire (if anyone has a boat & can offer assistance, we would be grateful), we need money to buy cages, to pay people to help catch them, to hire land transport to send the rescued animals to veterinary clinics, pay for vet fees, send the recovered ones to the shelter and to feed and house them for life. I can go on! To donate or help, e-mail TV Smith at tvsmith@mycen.com.my or Sabrina Yeap at yeapwen@yahoo.com Account Number - 1457-0001182-056 (CIMB Bank) Fellow bloggers, you can also help by embedding the appeal poster above to your blog and linking to www.mycen.com.my/rescue To receive updates, please join the Furry Friends Farm group so that we can keep you updated on what's happening. www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=13877641407&ref=nf We are aware it is a monumental task and appreciate all forms of support, assistance, suggestions, encouragement and your prayers. Thank you and don't forget to view the pictures of the dogs in order to appreciate their plight. Written by TV Smith - sent on behalf by Pamela Lim. Please visit the website
