S'porean couple fined after their 4 dogs, including Rottweilers & Cane Corsos, charged at & injured another dog
Investigations revealed that all four dogs belonged to the couple, with none of the dogs holding valid licenses.
A Singaporean couple, Merissa Leow Hwee Li, 51, and Lionel Tay Wei Yuan, 52, were fined for keeping four dogs without valid licenses after their pets attacked a domestic worker's Labrador retriever. The retriever sustained a 9cm long and 7cm deep wound on its neck in the incident, which occurred on Jan. 9, 2024. Both dogs, two Rottweilers and two Cane Corsos, are considered potentially dangerous breeds that require additional licensing.
The couple, who could only own one of a restricted breed, were fined S$3,100 and S$5,400 respectively, with Leow ordered to pay S$4,000 to cover the victim's veterinary and medical expenses. The dogs escaped through a faulty gate and caused injuries to the Labrador retriever, including multiple puncture wounds. The couple pleaded guilty to charges related to their dogs and paid their fines in full.
