I was passing this man and his dog, a big dog, a doberman I think. As I passed him the dog jumped out to cross the street maybe? He had a muzzle on that was leather and looked like there were no breathing holes but there had to be! And he had this huge chain around his neck. So when the dog jumped out the man freaked out at him! He grabbed him by the leash and start yanking on it so his head was being pulled down and then he started hitting him hard on the head and back! I lost it and yelled at the man and asked what the h*ll he was doing. BUt then he got really mad at me and I left and started to cry. But this hasnt left me, I feel so sad for the dog and don't know what I should have done. Maybe I made it worse but he was so mean to the dog and the dog looked so sad.
What do you do or can you do in that situation? Could I have reported him? and who do I call? I felt so helpless but responsible at the same time...:-(
