A couple in Camocim, Ceará, was arrested after a witness recorded them dragging a dog along the street while riding a motorcycle. The disturbing video showed the dog struggling to keep up with the speeding motorcycle, which was later shared widely on social media, prompting public outrage. Authorities managed to identify the individuals involved based on the footage and subsequent reports.

The couple, a 44-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, claimed that they had just received the dog the same day and were attempting to take it home. With their hands full of other belongings, the woman decided to pull the dog along by its collar rather than securing it safely on the motorcycle. Despite their explanation, the incident raised significant concerns regarding animal welfare and responsibility.

Following their arrest, the suspects were taken to the Camocim police station for questioning. The case highlights the ongoing issues related to animal cruelty in Brazil, an area that has seen increasing scrutiny and advocacy for animal rights. The public response to this incident may lead to stricter enforcement of animal protection laws in the region.
