Dartford: On January 7, 2025, Kent Police got a call around 5:15 PM about a vehicle making dogs run alongside it on Darenth Wood Road. They rushed to the scene but couldn’t find the car or the dogs.
The RSPCA has been notified and will take the lead on investigating this potential case of animal cruelty. A video that’s been making the rounds on social media shows a big white vehicle with two whippet-like dogs running next to it.
People are really questioning if it’s okay to exercise dogs this way. One tweet even showed a picture of the incident, asking if tying the dogs’ leads to the mirrors while driving is acceptable. It’s definitely raised some eyebrows!
