Kyanggo was off-leash and ran up to play with what looked like a black and white basenji. Pephu then heard Kyanggo bark and immediately ran over to where she saw a white middle aged man separate the basenji and Kyanggo.Hades said Pephu didn’t recognize the man.

Hades said Pephu then got a hold of Kyanggo by his harness theman proceeded to yell at Pephu that her dog was out of control, took her picture and threatened to call the police.

Once the man began to walk away, Kyanggo collapsed and Pephu discovered blood.

Hades said Pephu initially thought it was just a bite from the basenji — however Kyanggo quickly began to struggle to breathe and died.
