Two years ago, we might have jumped at the thought of spending a few weeks at home with our pets. But with the last 18 months being riddled with lockdowns and working from home, dogs and their owners have been living together a lot closer than ever before. We talk to three Malaysian dog lovers to discover how it’s going.
