Harrowing footage showing a dog being dragged along a road by a woman driving a mobility scooter has caused outrage online.

The distressing video clip shows the poor dog apparently unable to stand as it is pulled along a street by its lead around its neck in the Erdington area of Birmingham.

A person filming the footage from a nearby car shouts at the woman: ‘You are hurting your dog.’

 ‘Sorry?’ she replied.

‘You’re hurting the dog. The dog’s dead. You are hitting the kerb,’ the filmer said as the dragged dog was hit against the side of the kerb.

‘The dog’s gonna’ die you know, bro? The dog’s gonna’ die, stop the f***ing thing, man,’ the filmer pleaded with the scooter driver as the dog appears to try to stand up.

One person commented: ‘Why has no one stopped her?’

Another put: ‘Has this been reported. It’s horrific.’

A third wrote: ‘Poor dog. I hope they find the lady driving and take the dog off her.’

One said ‘absolutely disgusting. I really hope the Dog is ok’ and another simply added: ‘That’s sickening.’
