“I expect an apology.”
According to Thanh Nien ‘s investigation , the person who posted the article is Ms. LTCT (22 years old, residing in Gung Re commune, Di Linh district, Lam Dong province).

“Normally, if the leash comes loose, Ten runs back very quickly, but that day he was nowhere to be seen. My dad called out loudly, but Ten didn’t come back. When my dad went to look for him, he looked inside the neighbor’s gate and saw the neighbor locking the gate, holding an iron bar. When he got home, my dad heard the sound of the iron bar hitting something, so he looked inside the neighbor’s house again and saw the neighbor holding the iron bar, with the dog lying on the floor,” she said.

Reportedly, Ms. T. is currently studying in Ho Chi Minh City. Her family adopted the dog in May when she returned to her hometown to avoid the pandemic . Ms. T.’s entire family cherishes Ten and considers him a member of the family.
Because her house is currently under renovation, the camera in Ms. T.’s yard is temporarily out of service. The claim she posted on social media about her dog chasing Mr. B.’s chickens is based on what she heard from Mr. B., but she has no concrete evidence to support it.
Following the incident, Ms. T. contacted the People’s Committee of the commune to request access to the security camera footage on the road, but has not yet received it. At the same time, Ms. T. also worked with the Gung Ré Commune Police regarding the incident.
As an animal lover, Ms. T. confided that since the incident, she has stopped eating and suffered severe physical weakness, requiring intravenous fluids. “I was very shocked, and the incident has had a huge impact on my health and mental state. Even now, I still can’t forget the image of Ten covered in blood,” she said, her voice choked with emotion.
Ms. T. further shared that she only wanted an apology from the neighbor who killed her dog, but more than a week has passed since the incident, and her neighbor has remained silent and repeatedly demanded that she remove the post and images from social media.
Speaking with a reporter from Thanh Nien newspaper, the leader of Gung Re commune, Di Linh district, confirmed that the incident occurred and that both sides had filed complaints requesting clarification. The commune representative stated that they received a complaint from Ms. T. regarding the death of her pet dog by her neighbor, while the other family requested that the authorities address Ms. T.’s posting of personal images on social media without their consent and that the matter had not yet been clarified. Because the case exceeded the commune’s jurisdiction, the file was transferred to the Di Linh district police for further investigation.
