SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) is probing an alleged attack on a 3kg pooch by a larger dog at least 10 times its weight during an evening walk.

The maltipoo – a cross between a maltese and toy poodle – suffered injuries that required surgery and intensive care in a veterinary hospital. Some $20,000 in treatment costs have been incurred so far, said owner Jennifer Fan.
