A dog owner in Sai Kung reported to the police and firefighters around 6 PM on June 3rd that his pet dachshund "Rice" had unexpectedly jumped into the sea. Despite the efforts of search and rescue personnel, who deployed manpower and vessels to search both on the shore and sea, the dog was not found by 9 PM. The dog's owner dove into the water to attempt to save the dog but had to be rescued by a kind fisherman who threw a lifebuoy when the owner became crampy. Despite the owner's efforts, the dog's whereabouts remained unknown. A friend of the owner posted about the incident on social media, mentioning that "Rice" is a one-year-old dachshund who was adopted six months ago and is normally timid. The incident is believed to have occurred around the soccer field area due to a sighting of the dog. Search and rescue personnel noted that the water was very strong, therefore they did not dare to jump into the water and hoped that the dog would return to shore on its own.
