Senior who dragged dog in Pangasinan identified; pet survives
The old man caught on video dragging his dog behind a motorcycle in Calasiao, Pangasinan has been found and has admitted to the incident. Barangay officials from Banaoang traced the man to a village in Dagupan City. With help from the Calasiao Veterinary Office and the police, they visited the man and confirmed that he was the rider seen in the viral video. According to the police, the man claimed the dog was his pet and he had no intention of hurting it. 'Gusto niya ilipat sa bahay ng anak niya kaya itinali niya roon. Ang sabi naman niya, dahan-dahan lang 'yung takbo ng motor niya. Noong una, nakakasabay pa raw 'yung aso. Pero later on, hindi niya napansin na nakaladkad na 'yung aso,' Police Captain Anthony Doctolero, deputy chief of the Calasiao Police Station, said. The man said he only stopped after someone told him that the dog was being dragged. He then carried the dog home. The dog survived with only minor injuries. It was treated immediately by the municipal veterinary team and is now recovering. 'So far 'yung aso is buhay naman at okay naman. May sugat siya sa paa pero nagamot na, naka-bandage na. Malakas na siya,' Calasiao Municipal Veterinarian, Dr. Jorge Bandong said. Authorities explained to the dog owner the potential legal consequences he could face. While the dog remains in his custody, police say they are reviewing whether to file charges under the Animal Welfare Act. 'Pinag-aaralan natin 'yung mga kaso na pwedeng isampa, sa Animal Welfare Act. Papasok siya sa animal cruelty pero pinapaubaya na namin sa Veterinary Office ang legal na aksyon na gagawin,' Doctolero added. — GMA Regional TV News
