Businessman Johnson Kang , 44, had the shock of his life when he received a phone call on Wednesday accusing him of abusing a poodle.
Kang’s wife Christina Ng, 40, said her husband told the caller that he had the wrong number.
That was the beginning of a nightmare for Kang and Ng who live and work in Johor Baru.
“Johnson has received more than 130 calls since, with some even threatening to kill him for allegedly abusing the dog,” said Ng.
Meanwhile, Kang, who is an SPCA Malacca life member, said the calls started coming in after someone created a Twitter account with his phone number under the name of an individual believed to be the one who had abused the poodle called Sushi.
“I don’t know who did it. But I have lodged a police report and I’ve also gone to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission,” he added.
A YouTube video showing a man using brute force to train the poodle to stand on its hind legs recently has raised public ire.
Many people tracked down Kang through the Twitter account created with his number, but bearing the alleged perpetrator’s name.
Kang, who owns two dogs adopted from the SPCA, said he too wants the culprit caught and be dealt with.
