Modified Einstein's Riddle

Today i had a pop-up quiz at school. In an instant, i thought it would be one of those boring, must-get-A tests as usual, the one that you don't like to do, but you have to. Surprisingly, it turned to be one of my old time favorite kind of riddle i liked playing in high school, yet still full with fresh memory.

Einstein said that if anyone could solve this riddle less than 15 minutes, they are a genuis. My 30 minutes just proved myself that i am not a genuis. Time limit is 45 minutes. Why not give it a try?

This is my so-call modified version "Rattank's Riddle":

Facts:
1. There are 5 houses of 5 different color arranged in a straight row.
2. Within each house lives a different owner, all have different name.
3. Each of the 5 owners drinks a certain type of beverage, drives a different vehicle, and keep a certain pet. None of them have things in common.

Hints:
1. Rattanak lives in the red house.
2. Kimleng keeps cats as pets
3. Pheary drinks tea for fun.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who drive Toyota enjoys watching fish.
7. The owner of the yellow house drive a Nissan.
8. The owner living in the middle drinks Coke.
9. Leakhena lives in the first house.
10. The Honda driver lives next to the one who keep rabbits.
11. The owner who keeps the bird lives next to the one who drives a Nissan.
12. The owner who ride a Viva motorbike drinks milk.
13. Sokhour drives a Chevrolet.
14. Leakhena lives next to the blue house.
15. The owner who drives a Honda has neighbor who drinks Pepsi.

The question is: Who owns the dog?

Note: it takes me longer writing this riddle than solving it. So don't give up and have fun.
