The safe handling of dogs has become the subject of intense social media debate in Hong Kong after two small pets were fatally mauled by a large canine on the loose on Monday.
The 60kg dog, which was not on a leash, killed a miniature poodle near Yoho Mall in Yuen Long and a bichon frise at nearby Lolli Park within 20 minutes of each other.
The licensed animal has been captured and an investigation is under way.
The South China Morning Post spoke to canine behavioural experts and veterinary professionals about how owners can keep their dogs safe and prevent similar tragedies.

Jet Chow Wing-yin, a canine training instructor at My Dog Fits, said attacks could be driven by either a dog’s nature or its past experiences. Certain breeds have a strong prey drive and will chase smaller dogs, while others may have been attacked before and view similar animals as threats.
