While the two were waiting for the elevator, it happened that Lin Nan led two big dogs and took the elevator from the first floor to the seventh floor to open it. One of the Labrador dogs saw the black dog barking and rushed out of the elevator. In order to prevent the two dogs from biting each other, he squatted down and suppressed the black dog on the ground. Lin Nan only held a stick between the two dogs, but did not try his best to stop or shut down the elevator. As a result, Huang Nan was bitten by the Labrador on his left wrist.

The Xinxing Branch received a complaint from Huang Nan and transferred Lin Nan to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office for investigation and prosecution on the basis of negligent injury.

Lin Nan argued that he and his pet dog did not leave the elevator, but that it was Yang Nv's black dog that was about to rush in. He held a stick in the middle and did not bite Huang Nan.

The judges of the first and second instance investigated and found that although Lin’s dogs were tied with ropes, the ropes were about 1 to 1.5 meters long. He led two dogs to take the elevator again. In addition to the limited space, he did not take safety measures. He was sentenced to 30 days of criminal detention , For example, Yike’s fine is converted into 1 day at 1,000 yuan.
