The border collie’s owner accused the You Bai clinic in northern China’s Inner Mongolia of murdering her beloved pet.
She said the three-year-old animal, which was considered a member of the family, was run over by a car at the behest of the clinic.
The unidentified woman said she sent her pet, called Lucky, to the clinic for sterilisation on July 10.
The clinic told her they could not find a blood vessel to carry out the procedure and had to discontinue the operation. They said they would keep the dog to monitor its status.
Three hours after the owner left the clinic, they called her and said the dog had been involved in a car crash.
