This incident has since sparked a debate on social media with many trying to identify the owner of the truck while some pointed out that it’s possible that the dog may have jumped out of the moving vehicle without the owner’s knowledge. 

“My dog once jumped out from my pickup truck because it was scared and the chain was a little too long. Luckily, I noticed it right away and stopped the car immediately,” a netizen commented.  

At the time of writing, the condition of the dog is uncertain but we sincerely pray for its well-being. Anyway, let’s not jump to any conclusions and let the police do their work since a report has been lodged.
