(Picture: Google Maps)The RSPCA has rescued a dog which was filmed being dragged along the road by a woman riding a mobility scooter.
In the video, the dog appears to be unable to stand as it is dragged by its lead in Erdington, Birmingham.
A horrified onlooker who witnessed the incident, confronts the woman and tells her that she is hurting the animal in the video reported by the MailOnline.
“You’re hurting your dog. The dog’s dead, you’re hitting the kerb”, the horrified onlooker says.
Despite being warned, the woman continued to pull the animal along the tarmac as the pet attempted to stand.
