Over the past week, Madam Helen Tan, 53, has been having sleepless nights.
The Buangkok resident has been feeding stray dogs in the area for the past seven years and now, her worst nightmare has come true.
From last Thursday to Saturday, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) was in the neighbourhood trying to capture stray dogs by laying traps.
The AVA said it was taking action against the strays because some residents had complained of being chased by packs of dogs.
Over the past year, it has received more than 120 complaints about stray dogs, mostly about them roaming in packs.
