It run in the family.

Dr. Kylie, with her Dr. Dog bandana.

On the 10th of November 2007, two days after Cheeky's death, Kylie, my Labrador, qualified the Dr. Dog Examinations that was held at Pet Safari, Ikano Power Center. The exam was done by Mr. Paul Choong, director of the Dr. Dog Programme for Furry Friends Farm, which is AAF's representative here in Malaysia. Paul examined potential Dr Dogs, to ensure they had the right temperament for the programme. Nine dogs and their owners came along to volunteer for the programme. Two dogs passed the rigorous examination with flying colours. Dr. Kylie and Dr. Suki.

Dr Dog is an innovative animal therapy programme that provides people with what they need most - a best friend!

Pioneered by Animals Asia Founder, Jill Robinson, the concept of animal therapy in Asia began with just one dog and a vision to promote animal welfare through people welfare.


Dr. Kylie did her first duty too while at the shopping center, she touches Heng Heng and friends' hearts that day.





Kylie was assessed on her temperament, obedience and suitability.

Dear Dr Kylie,
Welcome on board to Furry Friends Farm's Dr Dog Malaysia Programme.
I am very proud to see Kylie being promoted as Dr Dog Malaysia with her beautiful bandana and very pleased to know that there are two new members in the team now since the launch of Dr Dog Malaysia by Jill Robinson, the CEO and Founder of Animals Asia Foundation, in Kuala Lumpur, June,'2007.
I believe the commitments and dedications of All the Dr Dog volunteers will be paving the way to a more caring society in respecting animals and people in need in Malaysia.
Looking forward to meet up with Dr Kylie in our visits to Homes soon.
Sabrina Yeap
Furry Friends Farm's founder
