If you are a dog owner and a dog lover, this is a painful watch.
In a video captured by PTV Philippines, a dog is seen being dragged through the road after it supposedly jumped out of the car. Motorists then attempt to inform the owner-driver that the dog is being dragged through the road. The owner eventually realize this and stop to take the dog in the car.

PANOORIN: Eklusibong nakunan ng PTV ang aso na nakaladkad mula sa pagkakatali matapos na tumalon sa sasakyan. Mga motorista, tulong-tulong na ipinaalam sa nagmamaneho ang nangyayari sa aso.
UPDATE: Nakita po namin na itinigil po ng nagmamaneho ang pick-up para ipasok ang aso sa loob ng sasakyan. Di na po namin nabidyuhan ang pangyayari kasi na-drain na ang baterya ng cellphone.
Thank god for those motorists who tried to warn the owner, otherwise, I shudder to think of what would’ve happened to the dog! Although it’s a fact of life that accidents do happen, let’s always remember to be responsible pet owners and keep pets safe from possible situations like this.
As of posting, animal welfare groups have been contacted and appraised of the situation and the existence of said video.
What do you think of this?
