While out jogging in Bedok on Sunday (Aug 3), 22-year-old Ilham Jufri witnessed a heartbreaking scene when a dog ran across the road and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. Without hesitation, Ilham dashed across the road to carry the injured dog to safety.In a post uploaded to Facebook by Ilham's father, Jufri Salim, he shared that he was first notified of the incident in the evening, after his son rescued a toy poodle which was hit by a car. According to Jufri, while holding the dog in his arms, Ilham noticed that the poodle was having seizures, prompting him to immediately call the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).However, the poodle was still not out of danger. «Minutes later, the disoriented dog suddenly bolted back across the road into traffic. [My] son chased after it, shouting for help,» Jufri said, adding that at least 10 passersby joined in the effort. «A young lady finally managed to catch the dog and [Ilham] took over from there [ensuring] its safety and [getting] it medical help.»
