Qin Mu had already analyzed the situation very thoroughly. The direct cause of the dog's death... was Cheng Chuxiao not using a leash. Otherwise, the dog wouldn't have been beaten to death by Zhang Qingyuan.
Originally, the nursing home should also have borne some no-fault liability for this incident. Meaning, if someone is within the nursing home's premises, the nursing home has an obligation and responsibility to ensure the safety of their life and property. But... Cheng Chuxiao didn't use a leash, and the dog roamed around the premises, encountering Zhang Qingyuan, which led to the safety incident. This had nothing to do with the safety protection services provided by the nursing home. Strictly speaking, the nursing home also didn't need to bear liability for tort damages in this matter. So, to put it simply, the dog died for nothing.
