In a disturbing video in San Antonio released by Animal Care Services on Wednesday, a truly heartbroken and desperate dog tried to follow his owner after she tied him up in a residential driveway to the base of a basketball hoop and walked away.
According to Animal Care Services, the entire incident was captured on a home surveillance doorbell security system on April 24 along Pioneer Gold on the Northwest Side. The heartbreaking video showed a woman walking a leashed dog up a driveway; she can then be seen tying the leash to the base of the hoop after putting food on the ground to distract him. The dog could be seen wagging his tail enthusiastically and starting to eat the food, but as the woman walked away, the dog stopped eating and tried his best to follow her. The woman turned around to look at the dog, but continued walking away.
“While the dog in the video is safe, Animal Care Services stresses animal abandonment is not only inhumane; it’s also against the law. Cruelty Investigators are seeking the identity of the individual pictured and urge anyone with information to call 311,” the organization said in a statement.
As a Class C misdemeanor, the crime is punishable by a fine up to $500. If the crime is considered a felony, the punishment can be up to two years in jail and a fine of $10,000.
