Unperturbed by the dog's passive response, the assailant throws another stone before advancing and delivering a forceful kick to its snout, causing the dog to lift off the ground and crash onto the pavement.

According to local media reports, when questioned about the attack, the assailant callously justified his actions, claiming that the dog always barks at him when he passes by.

Many expressed that dogs, known for their loyalty and affection, may exhibit aggression due to past traumas or as a defense mechanism against mistreatment.

One user wrote on X: "I hope someone can do something to help the dog....and to the 'distinguished gentleman.' I hope life gives you what you deserve."
Another user threatened the man in a tweet that gained hundreds of likes: "If anyone has information about him and tells me where to find him, I promise that I will record how I torture him and upload it here."
A local animal rights organization, Mundo Patitas AC, also responded to the video online.
They wrote: "Thanks to the citizen complaints and the collaboration of a volunteer who lives in the area, we managed to locate the day, time, place and truck of the cowardly sanitation employee...we have already filed a complaint with the attorney general."
