Many civic bodies in India have averted the registration of Cane Corso in their areas as the breed is considered dangerous.
On Tuesday, officials said an unleashed pet dog breed Cane Corso, known for its natural aggressive streak, mauled to death a two-year-old Pomeranian dog sitting on its owner’s lap in Sector 37.
Based on the CCTV footage, the police on Wednesday arrested the owner of Cane Corso, Kshitiz Arora, 26, a resident of Sector 37, on charges of negligent conduct concerning animals, they said.
According to the police, the small Pomeranian named ‘Ozzy’ was on the lap of 60-year-old Ishwant Singh, who was also hurt in the attack that happened on Tuesday night.

Police said the Cane Corso did not have a leash when it attacked Ishwant Singh and took away his pet. “The CCTV camera footage shows that sensing danger from the unleashed Cane Corso, Ishwant Singh had picked his little-sized Pomeranian in his lap, but the furious Cane Corso leaped and got hold of it, and took the dog away from Ishwant Singh. Later, the Pomeranian was found dead around 600 meters away,” said an officer.
Inspector Eram Rizvi of Sector 39 police station said that two veterinary doctors from a local government animal husbandry hospital completed the postmortem of the Pomeranian. Kshitiz Arora was later released on bail, the officer said.
