Chinese dog trainer faces backlash after dog dies during live stream

Chinese dog training streamer Pan Hong is facing severe criticism after a dog died during a live broadcast. The incident occurred while he was bathing an elderly Alaskan Malamute named Aite, who struggled and became distressed. Viewers watched as Pan muzzled Aite with zip ties and slapped the dog, which then went motionless. After the stream ended, it was revealed that Aite had died, leading to widespread outrage online. Pan apologized but claimed Aite's death was due to old age and heart issues, not his actions. The incident has drawn attention from celebrities, including actress Joe Chen, who condemned Pan's treatment of the dog.
