Many owners of oversize dogs had previously simply walked their German shepherds and golden retrievers under cover darkness. But a recent crackdown by Beijing police - ostensibly aimed at curbing rabies, a rash of attacks and other canine nuisances - has dog owners fearful that their dogs will be confiscated and possibly mistreated or even put down while in police custody.
