Hong Kong: 60kg Dog Fatally Mauls Poodle, Attacks Bichon Frise
A very big dog in Hong Kong hurt two smaller dogs.
The big dog weighed about 60 kilograms, which is as heavy as a grown adult.
First, it attacked a small Poodle near a parking lot.
The Poodle's owner took it to the vet, but the little dog died.
About 20 minutes later, the same big dog attacked another small dog, a Bichon Frise.
That dog also died.
Someone filmed the attack, and the video spread online.
Police caught the big dog.
It was wearing a collar, so it had an owner, but nobody knows who the owner is.
In Hong Kong, there are rules about big dogs in public places, and breaking them can lead to fines or jail.
A 60kg mixed-breed dog fatally attacked a 17-year-old Miniature Poodle near the Yoho Mall car park in Yuen Long, Hong Kong.
The Poodle was rushed to a veterinary clinic but later died from its injuries.
About 20 minutes later, the same dog attacked a 4-year-old Bichon Frise, which was certified dead at the scene.
A viral video shows the large dog clamping its jaws on the Poodle's neck as bystanders tried to intervene.
Police apprehended the dog; it wore a collar and was not a stray, but its owner remains unknown.
