Trigger warning: images of animal in distress On Monday morning outside of Target in SoHo I witnessed a man dragging a young pit bull by a collar pulled tight around his throat. He was shouting at the dog and yanking him hard. The dog was visibly terrified and in distress. Several bystanders confronted the man; he became aggressive with one of them. He then picked the dog up and left quickly. I followed at a distance and captured photos. I immediately reported the incident to the NYPD 5th Precinct by phone and went in person — they responded to the scene but didn't locate him. I'm posting now in case anyone has seen this dog in the past few days or recognizes the man. If you have any information please call the 5th Precinct at (212) 334-0711 or NYC ACC at 212-788-4000.
