poor dory

was thinking of meeting mark n xt for dinner just now but xt couldn't make it last min so it was cancelled so i was playing badminton with my sis at the side of the house it was honestly quite horrifying to watch what happened..... while we were playing this little boy was glancing out of his hse's gate watching us play.... so we happily play play play then..... his mum came out of the hse holding this dog on a leash.... the dog looks like those cartoon dog which have a black patch around its eye.... so cute n cartoon lor... the boy's mummy was attempting to command the dog to get into the car n the dog simply refused.... then the boy's father came n u know wat he did he kicked the dog hard on the body not just once but repeatdly on its face also while the mummy was shouting "No dory"(dunnoe whether it's its name sounds something like that) we were stunned into silence watching how the couple treat the dog and the worst thing was the little boy was imitating the father at scolding the dog. They then proceeded to blindfold the dog using a cloth n carrying it into the car but the dog was struggling badly n they actually pressed the dog down on the road. N before this the man actually held the leash up high with the dog dangling in the air. What kind of ppl would treat their pets like that mind u they have 2 other dogs inside the hse n my mum says they even have cats.... if u can't treat them properly or train them to listen to u don't bother keeping them it just reflects badly on u.... they are living things after all the thought of having neighbours like this is scary, granted the dog can be frustrating when it dosen't listen to u but it leads me to think whether they do that to their children when the same thing happens, it somehow does reflect the inner self of the individual how horrifying can.... i really pity dory.... can it be considered as dog abuse?
