Rescue Gone Awry

Last night I spotted an old dog in my apartment compound. It was late at night so I thought I'd go look for him tomorrow. One look, and you'll know he is an abandoned pet, he still had a collar on his neck and VERY FRIENDLY with hoomins.

This afternoon, I went out to look for him after throwing my garbage. I looked everywhere and when I was about to head home to call it a day, like magic he popped up in front of me.
OH MY GOD I have never felt so relieved. Then I remembered, even with my phone with me I did not had Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better's number and dashed up too look for the number and when I got it I came back down, the dog was lost.

I tried searching everywhere and all of a sudden a stray attacked me and although not bitten, thankfully, I was left with this:

I am still bummed over these wounds and the fact that I had broken my glasses in the process. I feel like almost giving up on looking for the dog. But my heart wouldn't rest, I feel like I had to do something. So I emailed details to MDDB and now I can only hope for the best.
