MSPCA rescues dog seen in video being hit with leash, organization says
Briefly

The MSPCA is investigating a case of alleged animal abuse following the circulation of a video showing a man striking a dog in Dorchester. The dog, a one-year-old pitt bull catahoula leopard mix named Pluto, was surrendered to the MSPCA. Many concerned citizens alerted the organization after seeing the video online. Pluto is expected to be available for adoption soon and is described as friendly despite his challenging past. Potential adopters are encouraged to provide him with a supportive environment.
We don't know much about Pluto's history, but it appears that he moved around a lot before he came to us. We're all troubled by what we saw in the video.
Video of this incident was circulated widely on social media, and we got a lot of calls about it. We're grateful for the community's commitment to the wellbeing of animals.
Potential adopters should be able to provide Pluto with a very structured and supportive environment where he can flourish.
On social media, the MSPCA described Pluto as fun, bouncy, and absolutely thrilled to meet new people.
