Known as a “man’s best friend”, dogs are arguably one of the most loyal animals as they would stick close to their owner no matter what, and many have come to love them as one of their family members. Therefore, it is hard to believe that some would find pleasure in abusing or torturing them.
Today, a shocking dashcam footage showed a dog being tied to the trunk of a car and was dragged across the road at speeds of 60KM/H to 80KM/H, causing it to suffer a long, painful death.

According to the Korean Animal Welfare Association (KAWA), the incident took place on a highway in the North Gyeongsang Province on March 7.
In the dashcam video provided by KAWA, a black SUV was spotted dragging the dog at high speeds, causing it to succumb to its injuries.
Witnesses who managed to stop the SUV from moving further said that one of the dog’s paws was severely mangled, and it left a long trail of blood on the road.
