EDAKKARA: In yet another act of cruelty against canines in Kerala, a pet dog was tied to a two-wheeler and dragged along a road at Edakkara in Malappuram district on Saturday. Police have registered a case. A video of the incident has gone viral.

The animal's agony came to an end after some people forcibly stopped the scooter in which two people were riding. The dog had some injuries on its legs, police said.
