Policeman feeds stray dog stranded in the rain
Stray animals have always been a topic of hot debate among Malaysians, especially whether their existence affects people negatively. While there are those who don’t love these animals, several news articles involving friendly, kind-hearted policemen and stray animals have been gathering a lot of attention on social media lately. Case in point: This viral video showcasing the kindness of a local policeman who fed a stray dog who was loitering on the road on a rainy night.
Kind deed from a policeman

Originally posted by the Facebook page 城城专栏, which translates to Seng’s Seng’s Column, on 9th June 2021, the 35 second-long video shows a Malaysian policeman putting some food on the floor, trying to feed a stray dog which was loitering around in the rain.
The incident appears to have taken place at a police roadblock, as a tent, chair, fan and motorbike can be seen in the video. Voices of some women can also be heard in the background, although it is not exactly clear what they were saying.
6 seconds into the video, a black stray dog can be seen waiting outside the tent in the rain, looking on rather curiously as the policeman unpacks the food onto a piece of paper. Then, slowly, it approaches the food and starts eating it as the man walks away.
The heart-warming video now has over 2 million views, 85,000 reactions and a lot of positive feedback from Malaysians.
