Although a number of residents of Karachi University (KU) have dogs as pets in their houses, the university management seems to have no code of conduct for the residents to keep pets and has no rules in place to deal with animal-related emergencies.
A few days ago, a pet dog belonging to a varsity professor, attacked another teacher and injured him. Interestingly, when the victim approached the security office with an application asking for the removal of pets from the varsity premises, the administration turned him down.
Per reports, the dog belonged to Department of General History Assistant Professor Moiz Khan and it had attacked an assistant professor of the Department of Social Work, Dr Fakharul Huda.
The incident caused fear amongst the faculty residing inside the campus. Therefore, they decided to take up the issue with higher authorities.
“Yes, this is true that my pet dog attacked Dr Huda when he was walking outside his house but there wasn’t even a scratch seen on his body after the incident,” Khan said, adding, “I have a pet dog in my house for security purposes as a number of robberies took place inside the campus in the near past.”
“The varsity’s biggest robbery took place in the house in which I am currently living in 2005,” Khan said, adding that the campus security officials were of the view that university employees were involved in these robberies but they could not apprehend a single offender so far.
He said due to that reason, many teachers had pet dogs in their houses, claiming that currently there were 20 to 25 pet dogs in the university.
“I am ashamed that my dog attacked another teacher, therefore, I am looking for a suitable house to give my dog away,” Khan said.
KU Campus Security Officer Muhammad Asif said he had not been instructed to remove any pet animals from the varsity premises, adding that he would take action once he was ordered to do so.
“Moiz Khan’s dog did attack Dr Fakharul Huda but he did not receive any injury,” the security officer said.
When contacted, Vice Chancellor’s (VC) Adviser on Security Affairs Dr Khalid Iraqi was found uninformed. “I have no idea about this incident,” Iraqi said.
If preventive vaccines are not taken properly, there are high chances that our pets become violent. I think same case happened in the professor’s home near Karachi University. This is really a serious issue and because of this the pet owners needs to take extra care on it.

When pets get wild it leads to major problems to the pet holder as well as to the society. Once i faced the same circumstances with my pals pet and took it to Pet Vet Hospitals and it got the best cure. My sincere apologies for whatever happened to Dr huda in the above post. I know it would be the hardest time to be.
