Shocking footage of woman dragging dog behind her while driving mobility scooter

The RSPCA has rescued a dog which was captured in shocking footage being dragged along a road by a woman driving a mobility scooter.

The distressing video clip circulated online showed the poor pooch being unable to stand as it was hauled along a street by its lead in Erdington, Birmingham.

A person filming the footage from a nearby car shouts at the woman: "You are hurting your dog. You are hitting the kerb.

"The dog is going to die you know, bro. The dog is going to' die, stop the f***ing thing man."

The possibly middle-aged or elderly woman can be seen looking at the camera before turning away muttering something inaudible and carrying along up the road.
