this Malsayian couple rescues the strays.
Most Muslims in Malaysia are not dog lovers. In fact, dogs are considered to be impure, making the people who care for them impure by association. Its unfortunate, to say the least.
Despite that stigma, this married couple made it their lifes mission to care for the stray dogs and cats in their community: Pak Mie, a 55-year-old former contractor, and his wife, Mak Intan. They work selflessly to provide food, housing, and medicine to the strays who rely on them and, as a result, have saved over 600 animals from kill shelters.
Wow. Just wow. Time to step your game up, everyone.

The moral of the hadith is that you are judged on how you treat every living thing.
That's why I'm always surprised at how some muslims apparently don't care for dogs. They obviously don't read their own holy books (like most believers they don't know much about their own religion).
