HCMC’s District 1 seizes unattended dogs, fines owners

Authorities in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 started capturing dogs they found without owners on Wednesday.

Saigon’s ‘Captain Sidewalk,’ Doan Ngoc Hai, said on Thursday that, very soon, no dog will be allowed to roam free on District 1 streets.
