The Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department today confirmed that the dog involved in an attack case yesterday is under assessment at its animal management centre.

The department said it is very concerned about this case, which happened a few days after another case where a dog attacked other canines in Yuen Long.

Speaking to media today, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Mickey Lai said: “The dog is now being detained in our animal management centre, and we will take good care of the dog because it may be part of the investigation.

“We will spend more efforts and time to assess the breed of this dog and also the behaviour of this dog. I cannot give further information because the whole case is still under investigation.”
