Azian, what u did was really sweet..

Well, you can report them as abusing the dog as once they taken the responsible to get a dog, they are supposed to take good care of it.

Taking good care doesnt mean they have to groom it nicely, feed it most expensive food or let them stay in a castle. As long as the dog is taken good care, at least clean and fed well, its good enough.

Alot of owners put their dogs at their porch but they still take good care of the dog.

You can inform them to start taking good care of the dog before you report them. Your neighbor deserve a chance as well. Maybe they have a reason for that. Try talking to them and if it still doesnt work, report them. Its for the dogs benefit.

Well, dun steal the dog, else you are at fault. Its good that you have a good heart. Malaysia needs more of this kind of people. All the best for the dog. Do keep us updated on the dog ya..
