  "account": "Videos posted on the Singapore Dogs Community Facebook group on August 24 have allegedly shown a Corgi being mistreated in a Seletar condominium. In one video, a woman can be seen dragging the dog by its leash across grass, while another shows the dog sitting alone, panting, and using its front legs to move forward. The post claims the incident occurred at Nim Gardens condominium. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) received a report about the case on August 18, but their inspectors were unable to conduct a home visit on August 20. The Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) informed the SPCA that the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) and National Parks Board (NParks) had already attended to the case. SPCA stated they defer to the protocols of these authorities when cases are reported to them, but they will assist in investigations if called upon. On August 24, the SPCA received another report that the dog had been seen alone under the hot sun for an hour that day. The rising temperatures and risk of heatstroke prompted the SPCA to make an urgent visit on August 25. They found the dog panting and alone on a grass patch, advising the domestic helper on dog welfare and helping carry the dog to a sheltered area. The SPCA conveyed their findings to the relevant authorities.",
