Two dogs rescued from the aftermath of the [gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights] (https://says.com/my/news/putra-heights-pipeline-fire-237-houses-damaged-145-people-injured) waiting to be reunited with their owners
The SEERS Shah Alam Volunteer Fire and Rescue team discovered the dogs while patrolling evacuated areas of the affected housing estate on 1 April.
Volunteer firefighter Datuk Ken Foo Kwok Sing said his team found the dogs and other pets, along with other pets — three rabbits and a hamster — in the Taman Harmoni residential area, which is located close to the fire, , the Malay Mail reported.
"We saw the two dogs at two different homes. Both of them appeared to be in a daze and were unable to walk," Foo told FMT. He added that the dogs were also tied up.
The voluntary fire brigade team rescued the dogs and transported them to Yeoh Veterinary Clinic in Taman Megah for urgent medical attention.

Foo thanked the clinic for their compassionate care, providing free treatment to the rescued dogs. The dogs were treated for smoke inhalation with IV saline, blood tests, and oxygen therapy.
During the examination, the doctor also discovered that the older white dog had underlying liver issues, which were promptly treated with medication.

Authorities are now seeking public assistance in identifying the two dogs' owners
Anyone who recognises the animals or has information about them is urged to contact the SEERS Shah Alam Volunteer Fire and Rescue team's hotline at 012-6088871.
The gas pipeline explosion affected a significant number of residents, with reports indicating that 112 people and 49 homes were impacted. A total of 63 individuals were hospitalised in Cyberjaya, Serdang, and Putrajaya. In addition to rescuing the dogs, efforts were also extended to other animals caught in the incident.
Meanwhile, the rescued rabbits and hamster have been reunited with their owner
Ms. Ye, who lived at the scene of the accident, has six pets in total: four rabbits, one flying mouse, and one hamster. However, she wasn't able to locate one of her rabbits.
She recounted that the explosion occurred while she was cleaning their cages. She tried to evacuate with all the animals, but the iron cages became too hot to handle, forcing her to push them into the toilet for their safety, according to Oriental Daily.
"Fortunately, we managed to rescue three rabbits and a guinea pig from the toilet, but we still don't know where the rabbit went," she said.
