The gregarious barking of Kakak greets visitors to Paws Rehab Centre in Subang Jaya, Selangor. As her hind legs are paralysed, Kakak – a rescued pooch – wears a wheeled walking aid. Her owner, Sydney Chik, welcomes us with an obliging smile.
“Kakak’s rescuers couldn’t afford to pay for her medical expenses anymore so I willingly adopted her,” explains the canine physiotherapist.
