The two miscreants who made major questionable headlines after their video of abusing a 3-year-old pet dog went viral on social media, have finally been arrested by the police. The troublesome incident unfolded in Maharashtra’s Thane, where the men were said to have been seen punching and kicking the poor Chow Chow while grooming it at a pet clinic. The pet clinic, Vetic Pet Clinic, where the two worked was located in Thane’s R Mall. The entire case came to light when the two made a video while abusing the poor one, and shared the same on social media. The video, understandably, went viral in no time and left netizens outraged. Triggered by the clip, people began to react to it, including prominent Bollywood personalities.
The video was also shared by an organization known for animal protection, ‘Street dogs of Bombay’.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “All Vetic centers across the country should be shut down,” a user said. “Glad to see people taking this issue seriously, they need to do background checks of the staff they’re recruiting. Both of them need to be punished,” read a second person. “I’m worried about the dog. Does anyone know who is the parent? We all have been sharing and gathering for this but no post or anything from parent,” joined a third person.
“The owners of this space also need to be held answerable as to what the f**k is happening at their place!! We all have cameras! This stuff should be monitored .. it’s basic protocol,” said another. “Is the poor dog okay? Those were some serious punches, hope it is well,” said another.
“I am 100% sure this is not the only dog they punched and abused… all the dog owners who have sent their dogs here should gather and call out the owner. This should set an example for the rest of the world,” said another.
