More news on our pup's death

Apparently, around time our pup died, another dog in the next street passed aa\way too. In much the same manner as our dog. We also realised that shortly before our dog got sick, 2 people of the local administration office (or so they claimed) came to our house and told us we had to pay a registration fee for our dog of 1,500 ks (about $2). KK didn't pay right there and then. He said he would talk to me and we would pay later at the office. We think, but don't know for sure yet since we haven't been to that office yet, that those men wanted 'tea money' aka a bribe. Saying that we would go to the admin office did not go well with their plans.

The owner of the parent dogs told me later that they have also had several cases of poisoning by people of the office that is respaonsible for the mantainance and development of Yangon.

The question we face now is how we can keep a next dog safe.
