Shiba Inu dog falls 10 stories to its death in Tai Kok Tsui

A fully-grown Shiba Inu died yesterday morning after tragically falling from the window of its home on the tenth floor of an apartment building in Tai Kok Tsui.

The dog was one of four Shiba Inus owned by a married couple, and had been under their care for a year and a half. 

No one was at home at the time of the incident.

It is believed that the dog may have jumped onto the bed in the master bedroom, and then fallen through the window.

They were the only windows in the apartment that didn’t have a grille over them, reports Apple Daily

The household’s Filipina domestic worker was on her way home when she saw the dog’s body and confirmed to the police officers on the scene that it was indeed her employers’ dog.

Apple Daily footage shows the poor woman gently placing the dog’s body into a trash bag while she wipes away tears of sorrow.
