A Doberman Pinscher suspected to have been doused with hot water or corrosive substance by a Filipina domestic helper died last night from sepsis and organ failure due to bacterial infection, according to its owner.
The 14-year-old
family pet nicknamed “Ah Pei” was found with matted fur and bloody sores on its
back on Saturday night.

The dog was
taken to an animal hospital the next day, and after a check-up, the veterinarian reportedly said the animal
had been exposed to scalding water or a corrosive chemical.
After the police
were called in, the 35-year-old Filipina helper was arrested at her employer’s
house in Chai Wan early on Monday on suspicion of animal cruelty. She has since
been granted bail while the police continue their investigation.

The employers
said today that the helper has been dismissed and is no longer at their house.
According to the
employers, the helper must have felt frustrated after they denied her request
to go on leave.

The dog’s owner
took the chance to extend thanks to his friends for their support and
donations, and to warn against “malicious individuals” in society, saying their
time will come.
