The person then got back in their car and drove away. The vehicle's number plate had been carefully removed.
A heartbreaking chase
The poor dog was confused and tried to chase after his owner's car.
The entire scene was filmed by the driver of the car directly behind. The dog ran as fast as he could to follow his owner, but it was no use.
The person who witnessed the scene posted the video online, unleashing a wave of emotion and support from animal lovers.
A community to the rescue
Destiny Gomez saw the video on social media and her heart broke.
She and her boyfriend drove through the streets of Los Angeles, trying to locate the poor dog.
Thankfully, after a long search, she eventually found the dog in an alleyway. She named him Chico and took him to a friend who is a groomer for a good bath and some much-needed pampering after his ordeal.
Destiny then found a foster family for Chico that very same evening.
The young woman has been receiving numerous messages on her social media from people wanting to adopt the dog. Destiny is determined to find him the perfect home, so she is taking her time to review all the offers.
We hope Chico finds his forever home very soon!
