A disturbing video has surfaced on social media of a man beating a dog in West Philadelphia. Thankfully, the pup is now safe with the Pennsylvania SPCA.It happened in front of a church on North Baring and Preston streets.At one point the dog cowers away, and that's when the man pulls at the dog forcefully and continues throwing punches. Tethered to the owner by a leash, the dog couldn't get away.
The Pennsylvania SPCA says it acted quickly, making contact with the dog's owner. The dog was eventually signed over to the custody of the Pennsylvania SPCA. "That evidence will provide whether there will be charges in this case and what the level of those charges might be," said Director of Public Relations for the Pennsylvania SPCA, Gillian Kocher.
