A Malaysian woman was brought to tears after being reunited with her missing dog following a road accident that scattered multiple rescued animals along a highway.
The emotional moment, which was shared online, quickly went viral and touched the hearts of many.
Van accident while transporting rescued animals
According to an Instagram post by Shima Aris, the incident happened when her friend Shikin, who runs Star Animal Shelter Melaka, was on the way to an adoption drive in Mid Valley.
During the journey, Shikin’s van got into an accident along the Pedas to KL highway, causing several animals in her care to go missing.
A public call for help was immediately made, urging motorists in the area to keep an eye out for the missing cats and dogs.
Multiple animals missing after crash
In an update, Shikin was transporting a total of 2 dogs and 20 cats at the time of the accident.
Both dogs, including one named 9.9, had gone missing initially but were later found and safely returned to her.
However, one black puppy was reported to be in critical condition at a veterinary clinic.
For the cats, the situation was more heartbreaking. One cat did not survive, another was in critical condition, and five were still missing at the time of the update. The remaining cats were successfully rescued.
As many of the cats were newly rescued, there were no photos available, making the search even more challenging.
Emotional reunion with dog 9.9
In a later post, a video showed Shikin hugging her dog 9.9 tightly after being reunited.
Overcome with emotion, she broke down in tears as she held the dog in her arms, a moment that resonated deeply with netizens.
The caption expressed gratitude for the safe return of 9.9, while also mourning the loss of one cat.
Shikin also thanked several individuals and animal groups for their swift response in helping with the rescue efforts, adding that the support meant a lot during such a difficult time.
