| The injured dog was taken to the North Point Animal Street |
A 35-year-old Filipina domestic worker who allegedly felt frustrated after being denied a request for leave was arrested early today in Chai Wan on suspicion that she had poured boiling water or a corrosive substance on her employer’s dog.
The 50-year-old employer surnamed Lai called the
police after taking his 14-year-old Doberman Pinscher to the North Point Animal
Street on Ching Wah Street, where a veterinarian suggested the dog might have
been mistreated.
The employer went to the vet yesterday, Sunday, after
noticing some bald patches on his dog the night before. On closer inspection he noticed blisters and
some bloody sores on the dog’s skin.

The vet at the pet hospital told the employer the blisters were the
result of the dog having been doused with boiling water or corrosive liquid.
After hearing this, the employer immediately called the police. Following an inspection the police arrested the Filipina earlier today on suspected animal cruelty.
Anyone found guilty of committing the offence of
animal cruelty faces up to three years in jail and a fine of $200,000.
