When our beloved pets get lost away from home, owners usually require help from total strangers to find them.
As animals can’t communicate their home location to us, the kindness of humans is needed to keep them safe till their owner can be contacted.
Thankfully, the staff at Buona Vista MRT station were kind enough to look after a dog when he wandered away from home.

His owner thanked them for their kindness after safely picking him up.
In a Facebook post on Sunday (2 Apr), Facebook user Karthik Nathan said his dog, Apollo, had an “adventure” that day.

The canine escaped from his home in the wee hours of the morning, managing to jump over his fence.
This happened perhaps because the door wasn’t closed properly, he added.
Apollo wandered all the way to Buona Vista MRT station — some 1km away, Mr Nathan said.

Thankfully, he was found by SMRT staff.
While dogs aren’t typically allowed in MRT stations, they brought him to their office and kept him there.
Somehow, they managed to get in touch with the owner, and he picked him up.
Mr Nathan thanked SMRT staff, especially Syahril and Archana, for taking care of Apollo.

Luckily, Apollo was also a “good boy”, he added, and a didn’t misbehave, causing more trouble to them.
SMRT replied in the comments, saying they were happy their staff could help.

They also encouraged Mr Nathan to share his appreciation on SMRT’s feedback page.
The SMRT staff would’ve been within their rights to chase Apollo away, considering dogs aren’t allowed in the MRT.
Thus, it was especially kind of them to keep and look after him instead — making it much easier for Mr Nathan to get his dog back.
The longer Apollo wasn’t found, the more difficult it would’ve been to find him too, so the SMRT staff really did a big favour to the owner.
Kudos to them for saving the day.
