Video posted on social media shows the animal sliding on its stomach and struggling to stand while its cable was attached to the vehicle. At one point, the video shows it hitting the curb as the woman driving is challenged by onlookers who warn her “the dog is going to die” – but she appears oblivious and reluctant to stop. The video is believed to have been recorded in the Erdington area of Birmingham. West Midlands Police said the dog was spotted on Wednesday night in Stockland Green and was being cared for by the RSPCA. A spokesman for the animal charity said it was being checked by a vet and “inquiries are ongoing”.
