Pair sue neighbours for dog death

A Hong Kong couple are suing their former neighbours for HK$20 million ($3.6 million) after their pet dog was allegedly mauled to death by two larger dogs.

The pair told a court the death of their tiny Shih Tzu dog Sha Sha caused them distress and are demanding compensation for post-traumatic stress disorder. Lawyers for the pair said the dogs pulled the tiny pooch through the bars of a garden gate and attacked it.
