A police complaint has been filed after two dogs – including a breed best acquainted with Artic weather conditions – were allegedly left outside for hours in the scorching heat without food or water in Amwaj Islands.
Residents reported the incident to Samaheej Police Station, in Muharraq Governorate, voicing concerns over the animals’ welfare.
Amwaj Islands resident Anastasia Misharina posted a video on her social media page, calling for help and urging greater awareness about looking after pets during the summer months in Bahrain.
“This started last Sunday, when I came home around 4pm and heard dogs crying,” the Ukrainian expatriate hairdresser, who has been living in Bahrain for 10 years, told the GDN.
“I stepped out on my balcony and saw two dogs, one a husky, outside on the terrace in the boiling heat, without food or water, trying to get back into the house.”
Videos Ms Misharina shared with the GDN showed the dogs outside the villa, clawing at the patio door and appearing to be whimpering in distress.
“I called Amwaj Islands security and alerted them of the situation,” she said.
