The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) in the United Kingdom are searching for the man caught on video, whose dog was seen pawing on the car door after the man abandoned the pooch on the side of the road just days before Christmas.
The RSPCA posted the following video:
PLEASE RT! We have CCTV footage of a man callously dumping a dog in Stoke-on-Trent. The distressed dog chases after the car as it drives away. Please help @RSPCA_official find the man responsible. Awful that someone can do this! The dog is thankfully ok and now safe pic.twitter.com/AW8HNvVwdQ

In the video, the man tosses the dog’s bed to the ground near a sidewalk and runs back to his vehicle parked across the street. The dog runs out of view and suddenly puts his paws up on the side door of the car begging to be let in. When the man drives away, the dog chases him.
The dog has since been rescued and has been described as a bull terrier. He has been named Snoop and luckily was found by a Good Samaritan lying in the dog bed and waiting for his owner to return about an hour after he was abandoned. The dog has a microchip which has been traced to two previous owners, but it is not believed either one of the people were responsible for abandoning the dog.
Since Snoop’s video hit the Internet, hundreds of people, including celebrities have offered to adopt him. He is two years old, healthy and extremely friendly. Help to find the person who abandoned this sweet dog. Anyone with information is asked to contact the RSPCA at 0300 123 8018.

Hold me please
Just an adorable game of hide and seek!
what a horrible pos I hope that karma gets him/her/them. poor little dog.
My deepest thanks and prayers to all the angel rescuers! Because of you, this precious little sweetheart will have the loving Christmas and happily ever after he deserves!
The only way I could watch that horrible video was by knowing the dog was saved and is wanted by so many; otherwise it would have been way too unbearable. That dog looks so adorable and sweet, and his going to his bed and checking it out, then obviously saying, “OMG, what’s going on? My bed should be at home! Please let me back in!” Well, that felt like a wrecking ball to the gut over here. I suppose there was a new puppy for XMas, so the idiot was throwing out the old? I hope they catch him and paste his shameful face all over.
