In the video he can be heard saying: ‘Hell no, that’s your dog man. That’s f**ked up. This guy is dumping his dog right here.’
Silver posted the video to Facebook on Wednesday, writing in the caption: ‘These people were hitting this dog in the face when I first approached them.
‘They then abandoned the dog after the male tried to get into a physical altercation with me.
‘As he drove off he was yelling: “It’s your dog not mine.”‘
Silver said Kern County Animal Services has opened an investigation into the incident and is asking the public for information about the owners, who could face misdemeanor charges for dumping the animal.
KCAS said one of its officers found the allegedly abandoned dog, which is now being cared for at a local shelter.
