The footage, which was originally posted on Reddit, shows the dog, a pit bull named West, chained to the rack on the back of a truck traveling through Lincoln Heights, according to the California Highway Patrol. After gaining traction, the video made its way to animal rights advocate Kris Kelly, who then shared it on her own social media pages.
"The way they were, they put the dog in the truck is illegal," Kelly said. "That's number one, but there's lacerations, a really bad laceration around his neck. ... I guess it was from that chain around the neck, and they brought the dog in the shelter with that chain."
"Please. Fosters are needed," she said. "Go to your local shelter, see how many dogs are in each kennel. They have, like, 5 or 6 large dogs in there. You don't even know if they get along. It's awful what's going on."
"Please keep sharing him so we can get him out, because he deserves it," Kelly said. "Every dog in that shelter and all the other shelters deserve it too, but we got the video for this one dog, so let's get him out."
West hasn't yet shown up online for adoption because he's still being cared for in the medical wing of the North Central Animal Shelter, but she says he could be ready for adoption in the coming days.
