A man in Texas filmed dragging a dog behind his mobility scooter.

Mario Cardona, 59, was arrested and charged with animal cruelty on Thursday after a neighbour captured the horrific incident on camera.

He was riding his scooter down the pavement while the dog was dragged along by its lead, local news station KTRK-TV reported.

When Melissa Torres told him ‘Don’t worry, I’ll call the cops on you’, he responded: ‘Go ahead. It’s my dog.’

Torres posted the video on Facebook on Wednesday before handing it into the police. It received more than 100,000 views.
