After scouring Beijing's streets for the most notoriously furry fugitive in recent memory, local authorities may have finally apprehended the mad dog that bit dozens of unsuspecting passersby.

The Beijing News reports that an aggressive mongrel was captured on September 21 at the Jinsong police station. One victim identified the pup as the same four-legged assailant that sank its teeth into his skin on September 20, but police could not confirm if the other victims were indeed bitten by the same dog.

Those people were bitten on September 20, when a grayish, whitish, medium-sized went a spree of aggression from a swath of town apparently wide as Chaoyangmen to Longtanhu Park. About a dozen of those people then rushed to a nearby clinic for vaccinations, though the new Beijing News report said the Beijing Chaoyang District Center for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that no other victims had since come to request teeth mark related treatment.

The mad dog's biting spree has prompted many Beijingers to think about the state of animal welfare on the capital, what conditions might have lead to this pup becoming so ferocious, and what might happen to him now if he has indeed been apprehended.

If this bizarre mad dog incident has also pushed animal welfare to the forefront of your thoughts, then consider attending Roundabout's forthcoming "Adopt, Don't Shop!" event on September 24 at 2pm in Shunyi. According to an announcement, the event will offer attendees firsthand information about pet adoption, meet like minded people and lovely dogs, and gain some insights into pet welfare and dog behavioural knowledge.

It goes on to say that the event will focus on:

  • Pet adoption in Beijing – preparation, adoption and post-adoption
  • Veterinary advice on departing from China with pets – step-by-step guide for pet owners
  • Available pets for adoption – “show and tell” of current available pets for adoption in Beijing
  • Dogs socialization and training – getting rid of pets’ undesired habits in a professional and positive way
  • Q&A and discussion – guests are free to ask questions and exchange their own experiences of being a pet owner
