Mr Yim said not only dogs were affected. Birds also died after eating the poisoned food.
He added that he did not understand why anyone would want to do such a cruel thing as the dogs had not hurt anyone. In February, Malaysian tracker dogs Denti and Frankie were sent on their first mission abroad, less than two months after their high-profile search and rescue job during the landslide at Batang Kali near Genting Highlands that killed 31 campers.Both Denti, a labrador retriever, and english springer spaniel Frankie were put on an 11-hour flight to Istanbul, before being dispatched to southern Turkey for their mission to locate earthquake casualties and survivors in 12-hour shifts.
