WHO let the dogs out at Taman Desa Bidara, Kuala Ketil? Apparently it was a bad idea because five people had been injured recently, being bitten by two dogs which netizens identified as Rottweilers.
Unless your pet dog happens to be a chihuahua or a terrier, it is best not to let them out unsupervised.
People have since taken to the cyberspace to discuss the fate of the animals, besides hurling condemnation at the owner.
