Shocking footage captures the moment a dog was dragged along a road by a mobility scooter.
The disturbing clip shows the pet unable to stand up as it's pulled behind the scooter driven by a woman. A person filming the video from a nearby car can be heard shouting “You are hurting your dog. The dog’s going to die. You are hitting the kerb.”
The woman can be seen looking at the camera before seemingly turning away muttering something inaudible and carrying along up the road in Erdington, Birmingham.
