According to local media, unspeakable cruelty was inflicted by the dog’s owner, Yousuf, who was fed up with his pet.
The two-wheeled passenger, identified as Akhil, who made the video, also confronted Yousuf, who responded that it was none of his business. and supposedly yelled, “What’s your problem if the dog dies.”
“It was a gruesome scene. A rope was tied around the dog’s neck and he was brutally dragged down the road,” he told PTI.
The shocking video also showed a stray dog, who was on the roadside trying to run after the car, in an apparent effort to save the poor animal.
After the video went viral, the dog’s owner, who had left him in the gutter after the confrontation, was arrested.
When the video went viral, Daya, an animal welfare organization in Kochi, tracked down the dog, which by then was in bad shape.
According to members of Daya, the dog had sustained serious injuries and the skin on its paw had peeled off, exposing the bones.
They also said that the stray dog that tried to chase the car has also been rescued and both are currently in their rehab center.
