However, disputes between dog lovers and their neighbors who do not raise pets are not trivial.

Last week, a pet wolfhound bit off the left half of a 4-year-old girl's face in Anshan, a city in Liaoning Province.

On August 31 last year, a nine-year-old boy was eaten alive by two wolfhounds raised by a neighbor in Lishi county, Shanxi Province.

Injuries caused by large dogs are not rare: Such reports never cease.

Complaints about dogs have been on the increase, covering everything from their nighttime barking, fouling of pavements, the threat to children and spread of disease.

Most places have laws and rules on the raising of dogs that are generally exhaustive enough to cover all eventualities. But the execution of them is not always as it should be. Violation of the laws and rules is visible everywhere but there seems to be little punishment.

For example, I have never seen anyone who failed to clean up after their pet being punished. Of course, I might have missed the occasions when someone did, but the droppings widely seen in public greenbelts suggest most people are getting away with it.

Another example of weak governance in this regard: Beijing has about 1 million pet dogs but only 500,000 are officially registered with the police.

Pet lovers have the rights to raise dogs. But when their pets' actions impinge on the interests of other people, they must be held accountable and compensate those who are hurt in any way.
