THIS is the sickening moment a man dragged a dachshund around a Co-op by the neck.
CCTV captured the cruel treatment of the little dog as he walked around the aisles with it dangling helplessly.
It was filmed at the supermarket in Romford, Essex, around midday on February 15.
The RSPCA has launched a probe after the black and white dachshund-terrier type dog was hauled around the shop.
The pooch doesn’t seem to want to go in the store, with the man pulling on the lead.
Eventually he picks up the small dog by the scruff of the neck and walks around, without properly holding the vulnerable animal.
It’s legs appear to be shaking as the man holds it out from him while he browses.
Inspector Jemima Cooper said: “We were contacted by another customer in the shop who was concerned by the man’s treatment of the dog so I visited and spoke to staff who reviewed the CCTV and found this upsetting footage.
“The little dog doesn’t seem to want to go into the shop but is dragged in and along the aisles.
“While the man is casually perusing the shelves he grabs the dog by his neck and picks him up before carrying him around the store as he continues his shopping.
“This is no way to handle or carry a dog and could be extremely painful and uncomfortable for the dog.”
Jemima added: “I’m really keen to speak to this man and would ask that anyone who knows him or saw what happened on the day to get in touch.”
The man was dressed in a black baseball cap, black trainers with a grey sweatshirt and grey jogging bottoms on.
Anyone who recognises the man or the dog should contact the RSPCA appeal line by calling 0300 123 8018.
