A resident of a housing estate in a Polish city was horrified when she heard the sound of a dog crying and realised where it was coming from.

Upon investigating, the resident discovered the dog locked in a cage on a balcony on Polna Street in Szczecinek covered with a blanket.

Heartbreaking sight

The visibly distressed animal was barking and whimpering, clearly needing help.

The concerned resident recorded the scene and posted the video on Facebook, writing:

"This is what paid dog care looks like on Polna Street. An Amstaff-type dog locked in a cage is crying and barking, covered with a blanket to keep him out of sight. Will someone intervene? It breaks my heart. Just days ago, so many recommended this lady..."

Hidden from view

The video quickly gained attention, revealing that the person responsible advertised herself as a pet sitter. The dog had reportedly been seen on the balcony several times, previously hidden under a tarpaulin.

Following numerous complaints, police intervened twice to secure the dog's release. Comments on the video confirmed the dog was now safe and in good health, though stressed by the ordeal. The pet's owner was unaware of the mistreatment.

Let's just hope this person who calls themselves a dog sitter will face appropriate consequences for her actions.
