In May 2026, a pet dog in Haiyan County, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, that had been accompanying a shop owner for more than two years, was shot by a man with a poisonous needle in front of a fruit shop. Public videos and multiple media reports showed that after being shot, the dog screamed and rushed into the store for help, then fell to the ground and convulsed and died. The shop owner said he called the police, who launched an investigation.

A dog rushes back into the store

The incident occurred in Haiyan County, Jiaxing, Zhejiang. The Beijing News' "We Video" reported that on May 22, 2026, a local fruit shop owner said that his pet dog was suspected of being shot with a poisonous needle. The report mentioned that the night before the incident, the shop owner was busy in the store. He heard the unusual barking of dogs outside the door and rushed outside. He saw a man leaving the scene on a motorcycle with the license plate covered.

Reports reprinted by People's Concern, Guangming.com and other platforms further described that the dog rushed into the fruit shop after being shot, and then fell to the ground and convulsed and died. Shop owner Mr. Cui said he has had the dog for more than two years. To a small store, it might just be an ordinary dog ​​that guards the door every day and follows people in and out; but it is this ordinaryness that makes its death particularly painful. It didn't attack anyone, nor did it participate in any conflicts. It just instinctively ran to people it knew after being injured.

Suspected poison needle and man leaving on motorcycle

There are hierarchical differences in the description of the injury methods in public reports. The Beijing News reprint used the statement "suspected to have been shot with a poisonous needle"; People's Concern, Guangming.com and other reports said that a man riding a motorcycle was suspected of using a crossbow to fire a poisonous needle and shot the pet dog. Since there is no final police report in public information, this website uses expressions such as "suspected to have been shot with a poison needle" and "media reports stated that a crossbow was used to fire a poison needle" when recording.

Judging from the screenshots of the public video, instruments suspected of being poisonous needles or crossbow arrows appeared in the reports. This type of injury is not an impulsive push or drive, but closer to a prepared and targeted attack. It caused an animal that had already lived with humans to go from calling for help to death in a matter of minutes, and it also made the shop owner face an extremely difficult to accept sense of powerlessness: even though it had run back, it still had not been saved.

Alarm and investigation

The Beijing News’ “We Video” reported that the shop owner had called the police. Related reports also mentioned that the store owner wanted the police to investigate the man who left on a motorcycle. No subsequent police handling results have been retrieved from public information, nor are the identities, motives, or punishment conclusions of those involved.

This also means that this file cannot be conclusive about unconfirmed information: it cannot assert the identity of the people involved, it cannot announce the results for the police, and it cannot state the motives as facts. But what can be clearly documented is this: a pet dog suffered fatal injuries in a surveillance environment as shown by public reports; it returned to the store to seek help after being shot; the store owner called the police; and the public expressed strong anger and grief at this cruelty.

Why record

The reason why such cases should be recorded is not only because of the cruelty of the injury, but also because it shows contempt for life: a person can bring tools, approach an innocent animal, and let it die in pain in front of familiar people. Recording is not a substitute for justice, but rather allows the victim animal to not be passed over lightly with the phrase "pet dog died."

If there are subsequent police reports, punishment results or further public explanations from the store owner, this site will continue to add. For this dog, its last action was not to attack, but to return to a familiar person for help. This scene is enough to show that it is not a number that can be easily erased.
