29th October 2026 – (Hong Kong) The owner of Larry, the large dog linked to fatal “dog-bites-dog” attacks near Yuen Long’s Grand Yoho, was today further charged with cruelty to animals as the Tuen Mun Magistrates’ Courts case was adjourned to next year.
Ng Sui-ting, 52, already faced two counts of permitting a large dog to enter or remain in a public place. The dog, a male yellow mixed-breed weighing more than 50 kilograms and known as Larry, is alleged to have killed two small dogs in quick succession. Earlier reporting also said the same animal had been involved in another attack. The case is listed as TMCC1676/2026.
At today’s mention, the prosecution applied to add one count of cruelty to animals. Magistrate Mr David Chum Yau-fong allowed the amendment. The matter was put back to 7th January 2027 so the Crown can disclose papers to the defence. Mr Ng was granted continued bail on the same terms.
The two public-place counts allege that on 10th July and 17th August 2026 he allowed the male yellow mixed-breed dog into or to remain near a public place at Grand Yoho in Yuen Long, New Territories, without being secured on a leash no longer than two metres. Under the Dangerous Dogs Regulation, dogs of 20 kilograms or more must be led on such a short lead in public.
The new cruelty count alleges that on 17th August 2026, at his home, he failed to ensure the yellow mixed-breed dog was properly controlled, causing two other dogs unnecessary pain or suffering. That is the date linked in earlier accounts to Larry killing two puppies within a short span.
When the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department first charged Mr Ng in August, it said the dog had attacked three dogs across the July and August incidents — one injured on 10th July and two dead on 17th August — and that officers were following up further counts under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance. The dog was then under observation at an AFCD animal management centre after Mr Ng signed over custody for temperament assessment.
