Distressing moment helpless dog tries to catch up with cruel owner who had abandoned him

This is the distressing moment a helpless dog tries to catch up with his cruel owner who had abandoned him in the street.

CCTV footage captures the callous behaviour of the owner, who takes a white and black Staffordshire bull terrier from a car and leads it to the other side of the road.

He then runs back to the car while the faithful dog follows him, only for the owner and driver to drive off - leaving the dog desperately chasing the vehicle.
