Recently, two dogs rescued from the devastating Putra Heights gas pipeline explosion have been receiving medical treatment and are now on the road to recovery.
Receiving treatment in Petaling Jaya
According to the Malay Mail, the canines, temporarily named Blackie and Princess, are currently under veterinary care at Yeoh Veterinary Clinic & Surgery in Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya.
Datuk Dr Ken Foo, a volunteer firefighter with the Shah Alam Volunteer Fire Brigade, shared an update through footage posted online last night, confirming that both dogs are receiving the necessary medical attention.
The animals remain under close observation, undergoing oxygen therapy to treat the effects of smoke inhalation.
Blackie is being kept inside an incubator with an oxygen concentrator, while Princess is on intravenous drips and oxygen support.
Dogs rescued in distressed state
Dr Ken and his team found Blackie and Princess tied up inside their homes, unable to escape the blaze.
In a video recorded shortly after their rescue, he described the dogs as being in a state of extreme distress, trembling and unable to move.
Pet owners who recognise Blackie and Princess are urged to contact 012-608 8871 to reclaim them.
Putra Heights explosion laves hundreds displaced
The explosion, which took place yesterday (Apr 1) morning, was triggered by a gas leak in a Petronas pipeline, sending flames soaring up to 500 metres high and visible from kilometres away.
The blast, which occurred during the second day of Hari Raya, caused extensive damage to nearly 200 homes and forced the evacuation of 305 residents.
Many required hospital treatment for their injuries, though no fatalities were reported.
