A video showing a motorcyclist abusing a dog by dragging it on the road with a rope has gone viral on Instagram

In the video uploaded by the non-profit organisation, Paws Of Hope Malaysia, on Monday, 25 March, the dog can be seen attempting to catch up to the motorcycle it is tied to.

However, after some time, it cannot keep up with the motorcycle's speed, causing it to trip and get dragged on the road.

"This is how stupid humans can be," said the driver who filmed the incident.

It is understood that the video was recorded at RPR Batu Kawa, Lorong Stapok 16a in Kuching, Sarawak.

"According to the [witness], the man, who seemed to be bringing his dog for a 'walk', forcefully sped up his bike and dragged the dog along with him to the point where the dog could barely stand anymore.

"As you can see in the video, he only stopped when he was honked several times," wrote Paws Of Hope Malaysia.

At the time of writing, the video has been viewed over 40,000 times on Instagram

It is understood that the original video, which was first uploaded on Facebook, has been removed

In an update, Paws Of Hope Malaysia said that the witness has filed a police report over the incident.

"Now, we just hope the authorities will look further into this case and take necessary action," said the animal shelter.
