This is the moment a cruel owner tied a dog to the back of his car and drove the animal through the streets.
Footage, taken in Atyrau, Kazakhstan, at around 6.30pm on January 7, shows the animal tied to the back of a car.
The dash camera video shows the trail of blood on the street as the animal was dragged along the ground.

The animal is pulled along behind the car, which is driving at speed as it passes cars stopped on the left.
One shocked motorist gasps after witnessing the cruelty, and blasted the horn at the man in the black Lada Priora.
The car drove alongside the unnamed man, forcing him to stop, and shouted to the driver as another vehicle to the left also came to a halt.
An animal rights campaigner who eventually rescued the injured dog, said: ‘The man got out of the car and was asked: “Why are you doing this?” He did not reply.
‘He just took the dog, and threw it into his boot then drove off. The whole road was covered in blood.’
Later an anti-cruelty group – called Kind Hearts – posted that the dog ‘miraculously survived’ the torture inflicted by the driver whose car had Russian number plates.

They posted: ‘The dog was immediately taken to a clinic. The wounded animal was given painkillers, and the wounds were carefully treated.’

Open cuts were ‘very deep’ on its hip and leg, and debris from the road was pulled from them.
The animal rights group added: ‘Why are there so many morons in Atyrau? Our police cannot seem to do anything about it.
They said that people who abused animals in the city ‘know that they can get away with everything’.

The unnamed driver has been detained and is under criminal investigation under animal cruelty laws.
Police said the man claimed that he was moving the dog at the request of friends, and that the boot had opened during the journey, and the dog ‘fell out’.
He hadn’t sought medical help for the dog, which they say is the latest of many pets to suffer cruelty in the city.
