A heartbreaking video circulating on social media shows a dog desperately chasing a car, allegedly after being abandoned by its owner on a roadside in Faridabad. In the footage, the distressed dog is seen running alongside the moving vehicle, trying to keep up with it. The clip was shared by X user Vidit Sharma, who claimed the dog was “heartlessly abandoned” around noon and continued to chase the car for several kilometres. “This is blatant animal cruelty. That poor dog is now at risk of being killed by traffic or attacked by other dogs,” he wrote. A woman in the video can be heard explaining in Hindi that the dog had been running and barking behind the car for a long time, but the vehicle never stopped. “These people have abandoned this dog, and it has been running behind their car for over two kilometres. They are not stopping or letting him in the car. The poor dog has been running and barking, and they have not stopped the car even once,” she said. The video quickly gained traction online, drawing thousands of views and prompting an outpouring of anger and concern from viewers. One user commented, “Not everyone is a human being; some are born human but without love and compassion.” Another asked, “Why are people so cruel? There should be a clear policy. It’s like abandoning a child who hasn’t even seen the world yet, now left to cope with everything alone.” A third user expressed, “That is truly heartbreaking. Abandoning a helpless dog like that is an act of cruel neglect and shows a complete lack of compassion. The poor dog’s safety is at serious risk from traffic and other dangers.”
