  "account": "On a rainy day in Johor Baru, a 15-year-old boy named Mohammad Aliff Najmi Mohd Razi was on his way to purchase fever medicine for his younger sibling when he encountered a pack of stray dogs. Aliff had heard the barking but did not anticipate the dogs would chase him. As he ran from Block C towards Block L to escape the attack, he unfortunately fell, giving the dogs an opportunity to bite him on the leg. Aliff immediately screamed for help and kicked the attacking dog until it released its grip. Fortunately, his friends and several residents came to his aid, chasing the dogs away. Aliff, who had never been attacked by dogs before, described the incident as traumatic. His mother, Norazila Abdul Salam, 44, became worried when Aliff did not return home after two hours. A friend informed her about the attack, and upon returning home with blood on his leg, Aliff was taken to a nearby clinic. Aliff's mother expressed her hope for immediate action to prevent such incidents from occurring again. The incident follows a similar attack the previous day where a 7-year-old boy was severely bitten on the face by a pack of eight stray dogs near a flat in Lima Kedai, Gelang Patah. The 18-year-old youth who narrowly escaped a similar attack earlier that morning was also related to the same pack of dogs.",
