Warning: The video above contains footage that some may find distressing. Viewer discretion is advised.
While humans often overlook cruelties done to animals we view as food and entertainment, dogs hold a special place in our hearts, and fair or not, abuses to our canine companions are considered especially heinous. And it doesn’t get much more heinous than this…
We should warn you, what follows is not for the faint of heart.
This video, taken by Brandon Sanders in Bakersfield, California show a woman dragging a tiny dog behind her on what appears to be a motorized scooter. Try as it might, the little dog can’t keep up, and it’s poor, injured paws are scraped across the hard city street.
Sanders, who recorded and tried to intervene in the incident, described the abuse to ABC news:
“I couldn’t tell and finally when I was getting close to it, it popped its head up. It wasn’t making any noises or anything like, it was kind of surprising and when I got up closer I could see all the bloody paws and then I didn’t know what to do.”
When Sanders confronted the woman about the abuse, she said: ‘S–t happens just like it does with kids.’
The woman has not been arrested or charged with a crime. Although the poor dog suffered serious injuries, we can rest easier knowing that this woman is NOT the dog’s owner. The dog has since received medical attention and been returned to its real parents.
