Annoyed that a toy poodle kept barking at her, an Indonesian domestic helper threw the dog off the third floor balcony of her employer’s house.
Giyanti Wulandari, 28, was given four weeks’ jail on Wednesday after she pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary pain and suffering to the 11-year-old dog, named Dou Dou. She was first charged on 10 June for the offence.Giyanti had been working for the household, located along Sunrise Walk, since December last year. Her main chores consisted of housework, cooking, and looking after her employer’s two children and his pets. The family owned two birds and two dogs.
As the birds were noisy, and Dou Dou kept barking at her, Giyanti felt annoyed. When the dog did not stop barking at her, Giyanti opened the glass door of the bedroom to the balcony, picked up Dou Dou, and flung the dog from the balcony. Panicking, Giyanti ran downstairs to check on Dou Dou before informing her employer that the dog was bleeding from the mouth on the ground floor. The employer immediately brought Dou Dou to a vet clinic where it was found to have multiple injuries.
A post mortem examination conducted on Dou Dou found that the dog had suffered significant blunt-force injuries to its spine and organs, resulting from an external traumatic incident.
