"Some of my friends with smaller legally licensed dogs are also panicked, worrying their dogs would be taken away," she said.

According to Peng, the regulations enforced at the moment have not been well thought out.

If someone has two apartments in the capital, one downtown and the other in the suburbs, would a dog, registered legally in the suburbs, become illegal all of a sudden when taken downtown to see a doctor?

"This simply makes no sense," she said.

It's like depriving licensed large dogs of the right to go to populated areas with better pet medical services, she said.
