A maid was so annoyed by her employer’s noisy pets that she flung a dog from the third-storey balcony of a house.

The 11-year-old toy poodle named Dou Dou landed on a grass patch and started bleeding from its mouth.

The Indonesian maid, Guyanti Wulandari, 28, then alerted her employer, Mr Stanley Hui, who took the dog to a vet. It was found to have suffered multiple injuries and was euthanised to reduce its suffering.

PAIN & SUFFERING

Guyanti was sentenced yesterday to four weeks’ jail after pleading guilty to one count of causing unnecessary pain and suffering to the dog.

Defence lawyer Louis Lim, who represented the maid pro bono, told the court that the maid started working at the Sunrise Walk house near Yio Chu Kang Road on Dec 15 last year.

She was tasked to perform chores, including cooking and looking after Mr Hui’s pets – two birds and two dogs. She had no prior experience in caring for pets, Mr Lim said.

National Parks Board (NParks) prosecutor Packer Mohammad said the maid went to a third-storey bedroom on May 13 this year to clean a bird cage. Dou Dou was also in the room.
