Turns out the owner lives right in my neighbourhood (the row behind my house). She walked pass the house as I was coming back from running some errands (left food and water for the dog and kept it within my compound so that it wouldn't wander away and get lost).

So she walks by and goes "X'cuse me, can I have my dog back please?"... Apparently, she had been wandering all over the neighbourhood for the past 6 hours looking for her 'Li Chew' (dog's name).

Was a bit hesitant to give the dog away. It didn't look like it was in good condition. The long nails and the scrawny frame (could feel her bones beneath her fur) made me think that might be an animal abuse case.

Do you think it was the right thing to do? The owner did say the dog had been ill for quite some time but i get that nagging feeling that something isn't quite right...
