The police have arrested a 62-year-old man after he and three others allegedly beat a pet dog named Hippo to death in front of her owner. The owner of the dog, a 38-year-old woman named Cheung, was said to have begged for mercy witnessing the shocking attack. According to Cheung, Hippo saw the flock of sheep and approached it out of curiosity, with Cheung following behind. The volunteer said Hippo has been used as a mother dog at puppy mills for years and was abandoned afterward. The volunteer added that it was only when Cheung took Hippo into her care three years ago that the dog could finally live a happy life.
