A frankly bizarre story that happened in Singapore about how one man's dog was allegedly taken by another man before it died a year later has a new development.

The alleged dognapper, Bryan Goh, has posted his side of the story on Facebook, refuting the claims of his accuser, Jeron Toh.

Not wanting to be outdone by the 900-word epic post, Goh has hit back with a 1265-word post of his own, refuting the claim that he took the chow chow named Bearbear.

It can be read here:

As with the original allegations, you can find below a summary of what he said and the counter-allegations made against Jeron and his sister Myovia.

Experience in re-homing and rehabilitating dogs

According to Goh, he was first contacted by Myovia in April 2017 who was looking for a new home for Bearbear.

Goh who has experience in "rehoming and rehabilitating dogs" agreed to help.

Matted fur and filthy ears

Myovia had also asked Goh to help her groom Bearbear, which he said he did, but finding out in the process that the dog had not been groomed for three months.

Goh also described how Bearbear had matted fur, "filthy ears", "teeth covered with plaque", and paws that stunk of urine.

Goh then advised Myovia to get her dog microchipped and licenced, a process that she described as "mafan" or troublesome.

To back up this claim, Goh provided the following screenshot:

Allowing Bearbear to stay with him

According to Goh, the Tohs decided to allow Bearbear to stay with him while he searched for permanent fosterers.

They then met a week later with a potential adopter, who decided against fostering Bearbear.

Goh says that after the meeting the Tohs passed Bearbear over to him along with other items such as his leash, food bowl, treats, and shampoo.

Bringing Bearbear to the vet

However, after bringing Bearbear back, the chow chow experienced diarrhoea with traces of blood and Goh brought him to the vet.

He then discovered that Bearbear had yet to be microchipped, and upon seeking Myovia's permission brought the dog back to the vet to get a microchip implanted.

Goh said he was never reimbursed for this despite promises from Myovia to do so.

He eventually found a fosterer for Bearbear.

Threats and confrontations

According to Goh, the Tohs were upset when they found out that they would not be receiving an adoption fee for Bearbear.

They began asking for Bearbear back and threatening him.

Goh said that as Bearbear had already been registered to his new home when the dog got microchipped, and was receiving care that Goh felt the dog needed, he did not want to give the dog back to the Toh siblings.

The Tohs eventually tried to confront Goh with a group of their friends at his house, a gesture which Goh did not entertain.

The subsequent police report and investigations did not find that Goh or the new fosterers had done anything wrong.

Goh said that the new fosterers were also unwilling to let the Tohs know where they lived as they had heard about the confrontation at Goh's house.

Differences from Jeron's account

Goh's account of the dispute differs from Toh's in several ways.

Goh described Bearbear as being neglected by the Jeron and Myovia, but while admitting that his actions might seem harsh, he was trying to do what was best for the chow chow.

He also refuted Jeron's claim that the new fosterers had been open to letting the siblings visit Bearbear.

In a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation, Goh appeared to have asked the fosterers if they really had contacted the Toh siblings.

The fosterer denied doing so.

However, Goh did not address Jeron's claims that he used Bearbear to lure girls into meeting him, nor did he comment on his involvement in a road rage incident in Changi, where two drivers were subsequently arrested by the police.
