'The dog escaped halfway,' Ms Liu claimed.

The tragic story reflects the flourishing dog meat trade in some parts of China.
China's central government in May signalled that it could ban canine meat from the dinner table after removing dogs from its official list of livestock.
However, the government is yet to issue an order to forbid the eating of dogs in the country.
The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs called for 'some traditional customs about dogs' to change in the country and stressed that dogs were 'companion, rescue and service animals'.
Two Chinese cities, Shenzhen and Zhuhai, have banned the eating of dogs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite those official moves and concerns over the spread of COVID-19, the Yulin dog meat festival, one of the most controversial food festivals in the world, opened on the summer solstice 'as usual' in the southern province of Guangxi, according to animal lovers.
