A dog named Sunny is recovering after being dragged behind a vehicle in B.C.

BC SPCA animal protection officers have seized a young collie-mix male dog who was dragged behind a vehicle in Merritt, B.C.

The young dog was “tied to the hitch of a truck when someone climbed into the vehicle and started to drive away, unaware that Sunny was helplessly tethered to the back,” according to BC SPCA.“He has abrasions to his front and back paw pads and hocks, and his nails were shredded. He is also under weight with a body score of two out of nine, which is very thin,” said Drever, senior officer, protection, and stakeholder relations for the BC SPCA.

Sunny received his name after being seized by the BC SPCA. He is currently recovering at the vet clinic and is not up for adoption as this time. The case is ongoing, and according to Drever, BC SPCA is recommending charges to Crown counsel, pursuant to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
