Dogathon 2014. Battlefield: In dog we trust.
08:33
Assalamualaikum dun ya.
I safely arrived at home sweet home to 'enjoy' my mid sem break. Together with my lovely caring assignmentss.
Before that, a great event had been done by our course, which called as Dogathon! Dogathon is an annual event for Veterinary of Medicine
student of Universiti Putra Malaysia. Plus, this year we combined strength with
the student of Veterinary Science from Universiti Malaysia Kelantan too! The
main objective of this event is to raise fund for one of the ProKasih project
which is to neuter stray cats and dogs. We want to overcome the overpopulation problem of them,
so every cat and dog can live a fulfill life. Besides, the objective is to expose us the Vet student
to various type of canines(dog) breed by one to one person. Plus we try to strengthen
the bond between dog and their owner with our various games. We also able to
apply our knowledge of Vet in real world instead of learning only the theory in
the class.
This year theme is Battlefield: In dog we trust. This is in
remembrance of dogs’ services during war and in solving crime cases for our
country. They do helpful.
Our event had been officiated by Prof. Dr. Mohd Hair Bejo
the Dean of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine itself together with other staffs
and lecturers. Then we have energetic performance of canine from Polis Diraja
Malaysia Canine Department.
So for this event I was in charged in taking photograph of
dog with their owner which is at the Smart Photobooth. Come. Pose. Take a
picture. Come again. And collect your photo! It is where you can treasure your
memories with you lovely lifetime pet. At first it is quite complicated to
control these dogs to stand still or to sit and pose. Just like I am trying to
pose Elmo and Abby together, if you remember, Abby the Grey cat and my Elmo.
Plus I have push the button at the very right moment to capture the perfect
picture! And my booth was the most crowded booth compare to others! :D

The best feeling is to see the visitors smiled, laughed and
giggled happily seeing their moments captured by me. People are satisfied, my
mission to make people happy was accomplished.
However, the team spirit flourished among us was also one of
the best element of the event. Eventhough we were from different years of study could work together and communicate well. Work together, stayed up late, struggled with
exams, but the event was still a great success when we broke the Malaysia
Record for being The Largest Canine Gathering Event with 1 216 dogs were
gathered together. And of course great number of fund had been raised for
ProKasih neutering project.

So, what’s our next event??
Tadaa. Minggu Penghayatan Islam Veterinar (MPIV) 2014. Also
one of our annual event for Veterinary Medicine Faculty. This is where we can
widen our knowledge about Veterinary in Islamic perception. How Muslim purify(bersuci) after dealing with
dogs and swine(pig)? All questions will be unlock in this programme. Come and
enrich our mind with knowledge instead of talking hastily without proves and
KNOWLEDGE. Non muslims are also invited to come J
Hidup memerlukan kesimbangan. Dalam berangan keindahan dunia, kejarlah akhirat. Nescaya, kedua-duanya mampu kita dapat. In shaa Allah :)
