'Cruel act': Stomper shocked by woman letting boy on scooter drag around puppy on leash as she laughs
Onlookers were stunned.
A boy on a kick scooter was caught on camera dragging a puppy around on a leash at a pets and kids-friendly cafe in Katong.
Stomper M shared a video of the incident at Cafe Melba at Goodman Arts Centre on June 8 at around 4.10pm.
"As things happened too suddenly and I was still trying to recover from shock, I only managed to capture only the last few minutes of their cruel act," said the Stomper.
"My friends and I were stunned see the mother allowing her son to scoot around and pull the poor unwilling puppy around the field."
M said this went on for at least five to eight minutes.
"The mother was taking a video and laughing at the same time, thinking this was a very funny and cute scene," recounted the Stomper.
"The son was seen lifting the puppy's head up with the leash and the little dog hanging in the air.
"All these moments were unbearable and I blamed myself for not being brave enough to stand up for the puppy as the place was full of children and I did not wish to create unnecessary hooha if I were to confront the mother."
M added that her own seven-year-old son was badly affected by the incident. "He was asking us why they were doing that to the puppy," she said.
"Hence, I hope Stomp is able to help to share this and bring attention to those who don't know how to love, care and cherish a little life.
"For a moment, we did question if they are actually the owners of the puppy or helping friends take care of it while the friends were on holidays."
The Stomper said she was still feeling terribly sad and depressed about what happened to the dog.
"I hope some justice can be done and pray hard the puppy will not suffer in their hands further," she added.
