Dog that fatally mauled handler at Hong Kong pet centre a stray awaiting adoption
A dog that fatally mauled its handler at a Hong Kong pet training facility was a stray awaiting adoption, the South China Morning Post has learned, with residents living nearby saying they were not worried as the animals at the centre were kept indoors. A check by the SCMP on Friday morning found Pawsgate pet training centre at Ping Yeung Tsuen in Ta Kwu Ling closed a day after the attack. But…
A 33-year-old woman, Wong Cho-yi, was fatally attacked by a dog at her pet training facility in Hong Kong. The dog, which was found to be a mixed-breed fighting dog with a microchip indicating it was a mongrel, weighed around 30kg and had been adopted by Wong on August 11. Despite being subject to quarantine and under investigation by authorities, the dog attacked Wong on Thursday after she attempted to return it to its cage.
The attack occurred around 2pm, resulting in injuries to Wong's head, neck, lower jaw, and arms. The dog, believed to have pit bull ancestry, was not alone at the facility, which includes dog swimming pools, indoor play areas, and boarding services. The facility, operated by Wong and a partner, had been closed earlier on Friday awaiting the investigation.
