From a FB group:
Hi everyone,
I am writing this post to warn dog owners in Eco Santuary. My family and I moved-in to Eco Santuary on September 2020. Before moving into Eco Santuary, we have already had a dog of 7 years.
My dog is a trained purebred working-line German Shepherd. We got her in my previous home as many robberies were going on in our area. She is trained to protect our house and our family members. We have always ensured that she is vaccinated every year. We have also without fail every year got a license from the local council. My dog will only bark if there is someone unknown (not neighbours) near the house or if there are loud noises(firecrackers, etc.). In our previous neighbourhood, our neighbours had no issues with her.
When my family moved into Eco Santuary, there was quite a bit of firework going on in and around the area. These fireworks would sometimes go past midnight. As such, my dog would bark during this period. She stops barking once the fireworks stop, she doesn't continue barking like a mad dog.
Residents in the area would have seen us walking my dog. She was very friendly with people and other dogs. You could be walking beside me with her unleashed and she wouldn't do anything (unless you do something), that's how trained she was.
Not two weeks after moving in, we kept receiving visits from the guards. The guards informed us that our opposite neighbour (Kenny Low) has complained about my dog barking and would like us to do something about it. The guards also mentioned that he told them that he talked to the management about this. As such, we have done many things, such as keeping her at the back or in the house. Despite all this, we kept receiving complaints almost every week. Not once has my neighbour come and speak with us.
On Feb-5-2021, he complained about my dog to the guards again. The guards came to my house at 2:30 am, waited in front of my house with the motorcycle running, and started recording my dog. As my dog is very alert to things like this, she kept barking loudly and woke us all up (she has different levels of barks, if she barks this loudly, it's something serious). We all woke up and my dad told the guard to leave or she is going to keep barking.
On the same day at 9:45 am, we received a visit from a large convoy from MDKL due to a complaint from the same neighbour. They were equipped with a K9-unit to take my dog away. Luckily, we had all her paperwork in order (license, vaccinations, etc.) and by law, they were not allowed to take her away.
On Feb-6-2021, the management organized a meeting with us and our neighbour. He failed to attend this meeting to sort out this issue. In the meeting, the management told us that they were told by my neighbour that he had spoken to us about this (he has not once spoken to us about this). We also told the management that he said that he has spoken to them about this (the management told us this is not true).
Since the MDKL event, we have kept our dog indoors at night, in fear of what he might do (judging by his character). We have also placed orders for cameras to be installed outside our house.
On Feb-15-2021, he contacted my dad to set up a meeting between him and he would like to discuss my dog's barking. During the meeting, he said that his wife gets woken up by my dog's bark. He also said that when he wakes up angry at night "I don't know what I will do". Hearing this, we made many changes to her environment as we feared for her safety. These changes have caused my dog a great deal of stress.
On Mar-14-2021, we installed the cameras we ordered around our house. Sadly on Mar-15-2021, my dog passed away at 1:00 pm due to the stress she was facing.
We've bent-over-backwards to resolve this issue. Nothing was ever enough for my neighbour. The management was ever so weak in handling him. They kept appeasing him despite knowing his character and that his request was absurd. Do not expect the management to stand up to people like this, they have no backbone and are cowards. They have no interest in your family. Past few months it has been about solving this issue, only to see our dog die. Protect your own family.
Our neighbour Kenny Low (and his family) isn't the only family like this. In this area, you will find a couple of people who think that they have money and that this gives them certain privileges. They lack basic decency, thinking that their money and "religious piety" will absolve their darkened souls.
Sorry to hear that. Anyway, she is in better place now. RIP.
