Blake, the Batang Kali landslide K9 hero belonging to the Malaysian Fire & Rescue Department had to be euthanised on 18 September after its battle with lymphoma cancer.
The sad news was announced on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Local Government Development last night. Blake, which was acquired by JPBM back in 2017 was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma on 15 August and was admitted to the Pet Dog Ward at Universiti Putra Malaysia about a month later. By this time, Blake had lost its appetite and was constantly feeling fatigued.“Blake showed no response to the medicines and the treatment. The cancer became aggressive after it had spread further throughout its body.
The decision to put Blake down was not immediate and certainly was not easy. After a discussion with Dr. Nur Alimah Rahman, the team decided to euthanise the dog due to its worsening health condition and they saw no hope for the English Springer Spaniel to get better.In case you missed it, Blake was among the heroes who had massively contributed to the search for the landslide victims in Batang Kali late last year. That was not Blake’s only contribution as the dog had an impressive “resume”.
“The loss of Blake will certainly be felt by all JBPM members. Blake’s devotional service will always be appreciated and remembered. Goodbye, Blake.”Also read: Batang Kali Landslide is the 2nd Worst Disaster in M’sia, After the Highland Towers’ Collapse in 1993
