On the third day following a devastating gas pipeline explosion in Putra Heights, a heartwarming reunion finally brought some relief amid the chaos.
A female resident who had been desperately searching for her beloved dog, Butter, since the incident was overjoyed to find her furry companion alive and well around 10am this morning (Wednesday, Apr 3).
Found Butter after re-entering the disaster site
According to a IG post by its owner, the discovery was made after she re-entered the disaster site to continue her search efforts.
Butter, a sweet-natured female dog known for her docile temperament, went missing during the initial chaos of the explosion.
At the time of the blast, she had been with her owner but broke free in fear as her owner fled for safety. She was last seen with her pink collar and leash still attached.
The explosion, which occurred in the quiet residential area of Putra Heights, not only destroyed homes but also left several residents temporarily displaced.
Among them was Butter’s owner, whose home was reduced to ashes in the blaze—making the search for her missing pets even more difficult.
Confirmed to be healthy by veterinarian
Butter was finally located this morning and examined on-site by a veterinarian, who confirmed that she had not sustained any injuries despite the traumatic ordeal.
After receiving the good news, her owner was seen tearfully holding onto the leash as she walked Butter away from the scene.
Butter’s two feline companions, however, remain missing as of now.
This emotional reunion brings a small piece of joy to a community still reeling from the tragedy, as search and recovery operations continue in the area.
