The video shows the woman, dressed in blue pajamas, walking a dog believed to be a German Shepherd. As the dog sniffs around a patch of grass, the woman is seen kicking it twice, then aggressively yanking on its leash. The dog briefly returns to her side, only to be kicked in the face with such force that it is lifted into the air.

An onlooker, shocked by the abuse, recorded the footage from a nearby flat. The clip was later shared with Glasgow Live, where the friend of the person filming commented, “The behaviour is honestly so shocking, and she should be ashamed.”

The friend attempted to follow the woman after witnessing the assault, but the suspect disappeared into a nearby building and could not be located. It’s unclear if the woman and dog reside in the area, but authorities are working to identify her.

The Scottish SPCA has been made aware of the incident. While the animal welfare charity declined to comment officially, it is understood that an investigation is underway.

This incident is not the first of its kind in Glasgow. Earlier this year, another disturbing case involving alleged abuse was reported in the Shettleston area, which also drew public attention and concern over animal welfare enforcement.

As reactions pour in online, many are calling for stronger consequences for individuals caught abusing animals. The video has ignited renewed discussions around the need for stricter penalties and increased support for animal protection agencies.

Glasgow authorities have also been contacted for comment, and many hope swift action will be taken to protect the dog seen in the video and prevent future abuse.
