A video of a man swinging a stray dog by its hind legs after it nipped him has gone viral on social media, sparking a mix of amusement and debate. It’s probably why one man’s unique approach to managing a group of stray dogs surprised and impressed netizens. In the viral clip, a pack of small dogs barked and approached a lone man walking down a dimly lit street. But with one report after another of stray dogs being harmed or killed, this man’s simple approach offers a refreshing twist on the situation. It offered something Malaysians had not seen much of lately in stray dog encounters: restraint, and a living dog at the end of it.
