For over five years, Mandy Yeap has been rescuing strays, but yesterday afternoon, she was surprised and touched by a stranger who gave her RM50.
It was after she took a stray dog to visit the veterinarian, and she decided to make a quick stop at a petrol station to get the dog some water.

Speaking to the Malay Mail, she said: “As I came out from the toilet with water in a styrofoam box that I had used earlier for my breakfast, a Malay man seeing I had trouble opening my car door helped me instead.”
She continued to explain that upon seeing the dog in the passenger seat, the man then asked Yeap what had happened to the dog.
After explaining what happened, the man walked into the petrol station’s convenience store while she continued to give the dog water. But just as she was about to leave, the man then came back and handed her the RM50.
She said: “I initially wanted to decline but he insisted that I take the money as he wants to do charity for the dog.”
“I swear at that point I wanted to cry as this was the first time someone actually gave me money in my years rescuing strays,” she added.
Yeap shared the story on her Facebook page and had since received thousands of reactions from netizens.

Her caption said: “I’m so grateful. We don’t know each other, but he gave me money for the dog. I asked for his name, but he said ‘it’s okay, Tuhan tahu’. It’s fate. I am grateful”
What an amazing story!
Despite the differences in our language and religion... helping each other out is universal. Always be kind to the people around you and kindness will come back to you!
