Responding to MS News, Yoke Lye shared that the incident occurred at about 7am to 8am on Friday (15 March) along Jalan Buroh, just before Jurong Island.
She described the location as “where heavy vehicles will zoom past every now and then.”
Mourning the dog’s passing, she said:
As we could see, he didn’t even have the chance to eat and he was gone. Just like that…
The OP also shared gruesome pictures of the stray dog, with a gaping hole on its abdomen.
The canine’s organs were seen spilling out of its deformed body, which was lying in a pool of blood on the road.
Meanwhile, the packet of curry rice that he was eating appeared barely touched.
She also named the dog ‘Cookie’ and said he’s due for cremation today (16 March) afternoon.

Saddened by the incident, Yoke Lye urged fellow feeders to consider the animals’ safety when feeding them.
Besides ensuring that they’re feeding appropriate types of food, feeders must also ensure that the vicinity will not put animals at “any risk”.
She stressed that, unlike humans, strays do not have the means to seek medical attention yet their lives are equally precious:
Safety of the furkids is utmost important- so never feed too close to roads, never feed cooked bones too.
Yoke Lye also shared that she was alerted to the tragedy via a Facebook post.
She and her team of feeders initially thought the dog involved might be one of their “feeding dogs”.
Sadly, the dog was already dead by the time they arrived at the scene.
