Three dogs, one cat, and $14,000 later, Don Yip has moved himself and his pets along with his girlfriend and daughter from Hong Kong to Britain.

“The pets are part of my family. I can't bear to lose them.”
Don Yip, The Daily Star

But not all pets will be as lucky as Yip’s when it comes to joining their owners for the big move. With Hong Kong residents already beginning to leave the city, there has been a noticeable rise in pet abandonment.

Australian artist Joshua Smith took three months to finish a beautiful and endearing miniature of Biu Kee Mah-jong, a shop that sells handmade game tiles on Jordan Road in Yau Ma Tei.

“Replicating the fluorescent lights just right was so satisfying and it is so great to have the lights working inside the miniature.”
Joshua Smith, HKFP
