Warning: Some viewers may find video distressing
A manhunt is underway to find this dog owner after he was filmed beating his dog who appears petrified.
The dog cowers as he’s punched and kicked by the man who yanks the dog towards him and punches him repeatedly to get him to sit still.
A passer-by also filmed the abuser kick the dog in the stomach as it attempts to greet someone in the street.
The RSPCA is asking the public for information in a bid to track down the abuser spotted outside the Co-Op in Benwell Street, Holloway, on Monday.
