EXCLUSIVE Moment dog walker hurls two pets into a house before dragging tiny dog with lead trapped under its leg through the door - as RSPCA review footage

Daily Mail​15-05-2025

This is the shocking moment a dog walker appeared to hurl three pets though the front door of a house after picking them off the ground by their leads.
The RSPCA have been called to investigate after a video emerged of the pooches being dropped off in Totton, Southampton, last week.
Ring doorbell footage reportedly shows Mike Johnston, who runs a local dog training business, lifting a bulldog into the air and using its lead to carry it into the house.
He then seemingly throws another pet inside before he drags a tiny dog with a lead still trapped under its leg through the door.
Mr Johnston can be heard shouting 'f****** stupid' as he pulls the third pooch into the property.
He is later seen walking down an alleyway by the side of the house and heading back to his white van parked outside.
The video, which has sparked outrage among dog lovers, has gone viral on social media.
One person commented: 'Imagine paying for this in the hope your dog has a lovely day and the whole time their being terrorised and can't tell you.'
The trainer then throws another pet inside before he drags a tiny dog with a lead still trapped under its leg through the door
Another added: 'Can't explain how angry this has made me.'
A third said: 'As a dog walker myself, this is horrendous!! I would never treat any dog like that!!'
A local who was the first to share the video on social media told MailOnline the incident had been reported to the RSPCA.
Mr Johnston appeared to hit back at the video on Facebook, saying that 'social media is sharing lies' and 'stories that are not true at all'.
He wrote: 'This was the beginning of an evening walk.
'All four of these dogs have no recall, no general obedience and the bulldog can be reactive and lunge for other dogs.
'Two of the harnesses both the same terrible design failed as all four pulled to get out of the front door.
'I had a split second to react as there were now two dogs off the lead with no training. One dog had run to the end of the driveway and turned right.
'I acted as quickly as possible to avert any potential complications. '
Mr Johnston appeared to hit back at the video on Facebook, saying that 'social media is sharing lies' and 'stories that are not true at all'
'They [the dogs] were not harmed or shook by the incident in either way,' he added.
Mr Johnston, whose business social media pages have been deleted, previously had nearly 800 followers on TikTok.
He also had 392 followers on his Instagram business page and 253 followers on Facebook.
