Matthew Ko Sacrifices Sleep for his Dog An 'Easter Animal Carnival' was held at Sheung Shui's Landmark North Mall yesterday held by some not-for-profit veterinary clinics. Artistes present included Matthew Ko, Charles Szeto, Elaine Yiu and Natalie Wong. Elaine is a dog-lover and she has a Shih Tzu at home that her sister bought as a pet. She says that this dog was bought from an disreputable pet shop and it was sickly when she bought it, with the vet indicating that it could die at any time. Fortunately, they spent several tens of thousands of dollars to rescue it and it recovered. It is two years old now, but Elaine is scared of the day when she will have to say goodbye to it. Matthew has recently spent ten thousand dollars to buy a four month old husky and as this dog is not yet house trained, he has to get up every morning at 5am to clean up his beloved pet. He says that this dog has Tracy Ip as its godmother and the best thing would be for her to find a vet sponsorship to save him some money. When Matthew saw the other dogs giving displays yesterday, he wanted to train his dog to do some simple tricks too, but the first thing he needs to train him to do is to go to the toilet!
