Outrage as dog filmed being dragged along a road by a woman driving a mobility scooter in Birmingham

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 pooch being unable to stand as it is pulled along a street in the Erdington area of Birmingham.

A person filming the footage from a nearby car shouts at the woman: "You are hurting your dog. The dog’s going to die. You are hitting the kerb."

The possibly middle-aged or elderly woman can be seen looking at the camera before seemingly turning away muttering something inaudible and carrying along up the road.

The clip has caused widespread anger after being shared by the Birmz Is Grime blog on Twitter with the caption: "Who is this person? This dog needs to be found and rescued".

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."
