When we texted former Mediacorp DJ Daniel Ong on Tuesday (Feb 4) to arrange for an interview about his recent wedding, one of the last things we expected was to be sent a photo of his dog, surrounded by flowers, in what would turn out to be a heartbreaking final send-off.
“My dog just died,” Dan wrote. “30 minutes ago.”
We immediately apologised, relayed our condolences, and assured him that we could speak to him another time after he has had some space to grieve, but Dan, ever the professional, offered to speak to us the very next afternoon.
