South Africa, Cape Town, Dog 59Y Mr. Bukhar Hassan (Member 28).Still known as Uncle Dog by all in his Manenberg neighbourhood, || 59 year old Bhaker Hussan entered prison at the age of 16 on an eight year sentence. The nickname Dog came at a young age as a result of a fiercely earned reputation for fighting, "I would see my friends in trouble and just rush in there.?AeuDog was advised to join the Number by an older brother who was hanged for the murder of three people in a robbery gone wrong. Before he was sent to the gallows, his brother, a 28, gave him the Number in order to keep him safe and so Dog took the Number upon his shoulders.Although he spent his time in prison as a 28, Dog remains skeptical of the Number seeing it as a way to abuse power and make those who are not part of the Number do their bidding.
