The mother plays a significant part in teaching the children to be kind to animals as she spends most time with them.
Esther is one such mother. The swamp dogs of Yishun would be put to sleep in batches by the animal shelter, Esther who brought her children to the Yishun Fishing Pond and swamp land told me. The Landlord of the Yishun Fishing Pond had not renewed the lease of the land.
At the animal shelter, somebody told her about NANAS, a no-kill animal shelter. She contacted Ms Lynda Goh who made the effort to rehome the dogs.
Now, 6 months later, I noted that the swamp dogs are thriving on my Jan 26, 2008 visit with two veterinary students.
I don't know whether the old man had visited his dogs as it was too emotional for him to part with them. He moved in with his daughter in an apartment.
