Netizen claims to have seen helpers chilling instead of walking dogs, gets told to mind their own business<\/h2>\n

A netizen has received backlash after calling out some domestic helpers in Singapore for allegedly chilling instead of walking dogs like they were supposed to.<\/p>\n

The original poster\u2019s (OP\u2019s) photo, posted in the Dogs Singapore Facebook group on Wednesday (20 May), purportedly showed a helper sitting at a void deck in Bukit Purmei with two small dogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Netizen claims helpers sit at secluded spot instead of walking dogs<\/h3>\n

In the caption, the OP claimed that the helper pictured, along with a few other helpers, tended to sit at a secluded spot for prolonged periods with their dogs in the mornings.<\/p>\n

The OP speculated that they did this possibly to avoid being seen by their employers or neighbours.<\/p>\n

The helpers would then be using their handphones instead of walking the dogs, the OP alleged, adding:<\/p>\n

This is to make dog owners aware that if you task to others the walking of your dog(s), the people assigned might not really be walking the dog.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The OP advised owners to place trackers, such as an AirTag, on their dogs to ensure they were \u201cnot being cheated\u201d of exercise.<\/p>\n

Netizens suggest that dogs may have been walked earlier<\/h3>\n

Another contributor who hounded the OP asked how they knew that the helper hadn\u2019t already walked the dogs before sitting down.<\/p>\n
